+by these rare bugs. Still, the bug hunt is top priority, but we need to have more
+data to analyze. At then end of December, it looked like the bug was found (a
+race condition), but further confirmation from the field is required before
+declaring victory. December also brings the initial development on <b>rsyslog v3</b>,
+resulting in loadable input modules, now running on a separate thread each.<p>On
+<b>January, 2nd 2008</b>, rsyslog 1.21.2 is re-released as rsyslog v2.0.0
+stable. This is a major milestone as far as the stable build is concerned. v3 is
+not yet officially announced. Other than the stable v2 build, v3 will not be
+backwards compatibile (including missing compatibility to stock sysklogd) for
+quite a while. Config file changes are required and some command line options do
+no longer work due to the new design.<p>Be sure to visit Rainer's <a href="http://rgerhards.blogspot.com/">syslog blog</a>
to get some more insight into the development and futures of rsyslog and syslog in general.
