Version 4.6.6 [v4-stable] (rgerhards), 2010-11-??
+- bugfix: imfile potentially duplicates lines
+ This can happen when 0 bytes are read from the input file, and some
+ writer appends data to the file BEFORE we check if a rollover happens.
+ The check for rollover uses the inode and size as a criterion. So far,
+ we checked for equality of sizes, which is not given in this scenario,
+ but that does not indicate a rollover. From the source code comments:
+ Note that when we check the size, we MUST NOT check for equality.
+ The reason is that the file may have been written right after we
+ did try to read (so the file size has increased). That is NOT in
+ indicator of a rollover (this is an actual bug scenario we
+ experienced). So we need to check if the new size is smaller than
+ what we already have seen!
+ Also, under some circumstances an invalid truncation was detected. This
+ code has now been removed, a file change (and thus resent) is only
+ detected if the inode number changes.
- bugfix: a couple of problems that imfile had on some platforms, namely
Ubuntu (not their fault, but occured there)
- bugfix: imfile utilizes 32 bit to track offset. Most importantly,
