"prepend": true,
"zippedArchive": false,
"level": "debug",
"colorize": false,
"timestamp": true,
"filename": "./logs/log.txt",
"maxsize": 10485760,
"maxFiles": 5,
"maxDays": 10,

and each day i got +1 file.. why "maxDays" is not working? I did not find any mention in the code

can you put somthing like this.. if maxDays > 0
const maxDays = 10;
fs.watch('./logs', function (type, filename) {
if (type !== 'rename') return;
const filenameFull = './logs/'.concat(filename);
if (!fs.existsSync(filenameFull)) return;
const stat = fs.statSync(filenameFull);
const now = new Date();
if (stat.ctime.getTime() + maxDays * 86400 * 1000 < now.getTime()) fs.unlinkSync(filenameFull);
});

Some long-overdue refactoring of the transport has occurred. A PR is available at #107. Also, a pre-release version has been published to npm. With the new version, you can use maxFiles: '10d' (for example) to keep 10 days of log files. Review the list of updated options on the README.md at #107.

Please npm install [email protected] and reopen this issue if the problem remains.

maxFiles not working for me

It is not even generating log file

`var winston = require('winston');
require('winston-daily-rotate-file');

const transport = new winston.transports.DailyRotateFile({
filename: 'debug.log',
datePattern: 'YYYY-MM-DD-HH',
zippedArchive: true,
maxFiles: 4,
maxSize: '1m',
json: false
});`

@ChanchalChandanbatwe Can you please post a complete example, including the logging statements, that reproduce this issue? Thank you.
