---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+Version 3.21.6 [DEVEL] (rgerhards), 2008-10-22
+- consolidated time calls during msg object creation, improves performance
+ and consistency
+- bugfix: solved a segfault condition
+- bugfix: subsecond time properties generated by imfile, imklog and
+ internal messages could be slightly inconsistent
+- added capability to support multiple module search pathes. Thank
+ to Marius Tomaschewski for providing the patch.
+- bugfix: im3195 did no longer compile
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+Version 3.21.5 [DEVEL] (rgerhards), 2008-09-30
+- performance optimization: unnecessary time() calls during message
+ parsing removed - thanks to David Lang for his excellent performance
+ analysis
+- added new capability to property replacer: multiple immediately
+ successive field delimiters are treated as a single one.
+ Thanks to Zhuang Yuyao for the patch.
+- added message property "inputname", which contains the name of the
+ input (module) that generated it. Presence is depending on suport in
+ each input module (else it is blank).
+- added system property "$myhostname", which contains the name of the
+ local host as it knows itself.
+- imported a number of fixes and enhancements from the stable and
+ devel branches, including a fix to a potential segfault on HUP
+ when using UDP listners
+- re-enabled gcc builtin atomic operations and added a proper
+ ./configure check
+- bugfix: potential race condition when adding messages to queue
+ There was a wrong order of mutex lock operations. It is hard to
+ believe that really caused problems, but in theory it could and with
+ threading we often see that theory becomes practice if something is only
+ used long enough on a fast enough machine with enough CPUs ;)
+- cleaned up internal debug system code and made it behave better
+ in regard to multi-threading
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+Version 3.21.4 [DEVEL] (rgerhards), 2008-09-04
+- removed compile time fixed message size limit (was 2K), limit can now
+ be set via $MaxMessageSize global config directive (finally gotten rid
+ of MAXLINE ;))
+- enhanced doc for $ActionExecOnlyEveryNthTimeTimeout
+- integrated a number of patches from 3.18.4, namely
+ - bugfix: order-of magnitude issue with base-10 size definitions
+ in config file parser. Could lead to invalid sizes, constraints
+ etc for e.g. queue files and any other object whose size was specified
+ in base-10 entities. Did not apply to binary entities. Thanks to
+ RB for finding this bug and providing a patch.
+ - bugfix: action was not called when system time was set backwards
+ (until the previous time was reached again). There are still some
+ side-effects when time is rolled back (A time rollback is really a bad
+ thing to do, ideally the OS should issue pseudo time (like NetWare did)
+ when the user tries to roll back time). Thanks to varmojfekoj for this
+ patch.
+ - doc bugfix: rsyslog.conf man page improved and minor nit fixed
+ thanks to Lukas Kuklinek for the patch.
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+Version 3.21.3 [DEVEL] (rgerhards), 2008-08-13
+- added ability to specify flow control mode for imuxsock
+- added ability to execute actions only after the n-th call of the action
+ This also lead to the addition of two new config directives:
+ $ActionExecOnlyEveryNthTime and $ActionExecOnlyEveryNthTimeTimeout
+ This feature is useful, for example, for alerting: it permits you to
+ send an alert only after at least n occurences of a specific message
+ have been seen by rsyslogd. This protectes against false positives
+ due to waiting for additional confirmation.
+- bugfix: IPv6 addresses could not be specified in forwarding actions
+ New syntax @[addr]:port introduced to enable that. Root problem was IPv6
+ addresses contain colons.
+- somewhat enhanced debugging messages
+- imported from 3.18.3:
+ - enhanced ommysql to support custom port to connect to server
+ Port can be set via new $ActionOmmysqlServerPort config directive
+ Note: this was a very minor change and thus deemed appropriate to be
+ done in the stable release.
+ - bugfix: misspelled config directive, previously was
+ $MainMsgQueueWorkeTimeoutrThreadShutdown, is now
+ $MainMsgQueueWorkerTimeoutThreadShutdown. Note that the misspelled
+ directive is not preserved - if the misspelled directive was used
+ (which I consider highly unlikely), the config file must be changed.
+ Thanks to lperr for reporting the bug.
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+Version 3.21.2 [DEVEL] (rgerhards), 2008-08-04
+- added $InputUnixListenSocketHostName config directive, which permits to
+ override the hostname being used on a local unix socket. This is useful
+ for differentiating "hosts" running in several jails. Feature was
+ suggested by David Darville, thanks for the suggestion.
+- enhanced ommail to support multiple email recipients. This is done by
+ specifying $ActionMailTo multiple times. Note that this introduces a
+ small incompatibility to previous config file syntax: the recipient
+ list is now reset for each action (we honestly believe that will
+ not cause any problem - apologies if it does).
+- enhanced troubleshooting documentation
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+Version 3.21.1 [DEVEL] (rgerhards), 2008-07-30
+- bugfix: no error was reported if the target of a $IncludeConfig
+ could not be accessed.
+- added testbed for common config errors
+- added doc for -u option to rsyslogd man page
+- enhanced config file checking - no active actions are detected
+- added -N rsyslogd command line option for a config validation run
+ (which does not execute actual syslogd code and does not interfere
+ with a running instance)
+- somewhat improved emergency configuration. It is now also selected
+ if the config contains no active actions
+- rsyslogd error messages are now reported to stderr by default. can be
+ turned off by the new "$ErrorMessagesToStderr off" directive
+ Thanks to HKS for suggesting the new features.
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+Version 3.21.0 [DEVEL] (rgerhards), 2008-07-18
+- starts a new devel branch
+- added a generic test driver for RainerScript plus some test cases
+ to the testbench
+- added a small diagnostic tool to obtain result of gethostname() API
+- imported all changes from 3.18.1 until today (some quite important,
+ see below)
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 3.20.0 [BETA] (rgerhards), 2008-11-05
- this is the inital release of the 3.19.x branch as a stable release
- bugfix: double-free in pctp netstream driver. Thank to varmojfeko
