Version 5.9.0 [V5-DEVEL] (rgerhards), 2011-03-??
+- bugfix: do not open files with full privileges, if privs will be dropped
+ This make the privilege drop code more bulletproof, but breaks Ubuntu's
+ work-around for log files created by external programs with the wrong
+ user and/or group. Note that it was long said that this "functionality"
+ would break once we go for serious privilege drop code, so hopefully
+ nobody still depends on it (and, if so, they lost...).
- this begins a new devel branch for v5
- added support for user-level PRI provided via systemd
- added new config directive $InputTCPFlowControl to select if tcp
