See property replacer doc for + details. [backport from 5.5.3 because urgently needed by some] +- improved testbench +- bugfix: invalid buffer write in (file) stream class + currently being accessed buffer could be overwritten with new data. + While this probably did not cause access violations, it could case loss + and/or duplication of some data (definitely a race with no deterministic + outcome) +- bugfix: potential hang condition during filestream close + predicate was not properly checked when waiting for the background file + writer +- bugfix: improper synchronization when "$OMFileFlushOnTXEnd on" was used + Internal data structures were not properly protected due to missing + mutex calls. +- bugfix: potential data loss during file stream shutdown +- bugfix: potential problems during file stream shutdown + The shutdown/close sequence was not clean, what potentially (but + unlikely) could lead to some issues. We have not been able to describe + any fatal cases, but there was some bug potential. Sequence has now + been straighted out. +- bugfix: potential problem (loop, abort) when file write error occured + When a write error occured in stream.c, variable iWritten had the error + code but this was handled as if it were the actual number of bytes + written. That was used in pointer arithmetic later on, and thus could + lead to all sorts of problems. However, this could only happen if the + error was EINTR or the file in question was a tty. All other cases were + handled properly. Now, iWritten is reset to zero in such cases, resulting + in proper retries. +- bugfix: $omfileFlushOnTXEnd was turned on when set to off and vice + versa due to an invalid check +- bugfix: recent patch to fix small memory leak could cause invalid free. + This could only happen during config file parsing. +- bugfix(minor): handling of extremely large strings in dbgprintf() fixed + Previously, it could lead to garbagge output and, in extreme cases, also + to segfaults. Note: this was a problem only when debug output was + actually enabled, so it caused no problem in production use. +- bugfix(minor): BSD_SO_COMPAT query function had some global vars not + properly initialized. However, in practice the loader initializes them + with zero, the desired value, so there were no actual issue in almost + all cases. +--------------------------------------------------------------------------- Version 4.6.1 [v4-stable] (rgerhards), 2010-03-04 - re-enabled old pipe output (using new module ompipe, built-in) after some problems with pipes (and especially in regard to xconsole) were |
