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.
