No beta-specific fixes have been added. +- included fixes from v3-stable (most importantly 3.18.3) +--------------------------------------------------------------------------- +Version 3.19.10 [BETA] (rgerhards), 2008-07-15 +- start of a new beta branch based on former 3.19 devel branch +- bugfix: bad memory leak in disk-based queue modes +- bugfix: UDP syslog forwarding did not work on all platforms + the ai_socktype was incorrectly set to 1. On some platforms, this + lead to failing name resolution (e.g. FreeBSD 7). Thanks to HKS for + reporting the bug. +- bugfix: priority was incorrectly calculated on FreeBSD 7, + because the LOG_MAKEPRI() C macro has a different meaning there (it + is just a simple addition of faciltity and severity). I have changed + this to use own, consistent, code for PRI calculation. Thank to HKS + for reporting this bug. +- bugfix (cosmetical): authorization was not checked when gtls handshake + completed immediately. While this sounds scary, the situation can not + happen in practice. We use non-blocking IO only for server-based gtls + session setup. As TLS requires the exchange of multiple frames before + the handshake completes, it simply is impossible to do this in one + step. However, it is useful to have the code path correct even for + this case - otherwise, we may run into problems if the code is changed + some time later (e.g. to use blocking sockets). Thanks to varmojfekoj + for providing the patch. +- important queue bugfix from 3.18.1 imported (see below) +- cleanup of some debug messages +--------------------------------------------------------------------------- +Version 3.19.9 (rgerhards), 2008-07-07 +- added tutorial for creating a TLS-secured syslog infrastructure +- rewritten omusrmsg to no longer fork() a new process for sending messages + this caused some problems with the threading model, e.g. zombies. Also, + it was far less optimal than it is now. +- bugfix: machine certificate was required for client even in TLS anon mode + Reference: http://bugzilla.adiscon.com/show_bug.cgi?id=85 + The fix also slightly improves performance by not storing certificates in + client sessions when there is no need to do so. +- bugfix: RainerScript syntax error was not always detected +--------------------------------------------------------------------------- +Version 3.19.8 (rgerhards), 2008-07-01 +- bugfix: gtls module did not correctly handle EGAIN (and similar) recv() + states. This has been fixed by introducing a new abstraction layer inside + gtls. +- added (internal) error codes to error messages; added redirector to + web description of error codes + closes bug http://bugzilla.adiscon.com/show_bug.cgi?id=20 +- disabled compile warnings caused by third-party libraries +- reduced number of compile warnings in gcc's -pedantic mode +- some minor documentation improvements +- included all fixes from beta 3.17.5 +--------------------------------------------------------------------------- +Version 3.19.7 (rgerhards), 2008-06-11 +- added new property replacer option "date-subseconds" that enables + to query just the subsecond part of a high-precision timestamp +- somewhat improved plain tcp syslog reliability by doing a connection + check before sending. Credits to Martin Schuette for providing the + idea. Details are available at + http://blog.gerhards.net/2008/06/reliable-plain-tcp-syslog-once-again.html +- made rsyslog tickless in the (usual and default) case that repeated + message reduction is turned off. More info: + http://blog.gerhards.net/2008/06/coding-to-save-environment.html +- some build system cleanup, thanks to Michael Biebl +- bugfix: compile under (Free)BSD failed due to some invalid library + definitions - this is fixed now. Thanks to Michael Biebl for the patch. +--------------------------------------------------------------------------- +Version 3.19.6 (rgerhards), 2008-06-06 +- enhanced property replacer to support multiple regex matches +- bugfix: part of permittedPeer structure was not correctly initialized + thanks to varmojfekoj for spotting this +- bugfix: off-by-one bug during certificate check +- bugfix: removed some memory leaks in TLS code +--------------------------------------------------------------------------- +Version 3.19.5 (rgerhards), 2008-05-30 +- enabled Posix ERE expressions inside the property replacer + (previously BRE was permitted only) +- provided ability to specify that a regular expression submatch shall + be used inside the property replacer +- implemented in property replacer: if a regular expression does not match, + it can now either return "**NO MATCH** (default, as before), a blank + property or the full original property text +- enhanced property replacer to support multiple regex matches +--------------------------------------------------------------------------- +Version 3.19.4 (rgerhards), 2008-05-27 +- implemented x509/certvalid gtls auth mode +- implemented x509/name gtls auth mode (including wildcards) +- changed fingerprint gtls auth mode to new format fingerprint +- protected gtls error string function by a mutex. Without it, we + could have a race condition in extreme cases. This was very remote, + but now can no longer happen. +- changed config directive name to reflect different use + $ActionSendStreamDriverCertFingerprint is now + $ActionSendStreamDriverPermittedPeer and can be used both for + fingerprint and name authentication (similar to the input side) +- bugfix: sender information (fromhost et al) was missing in imudp + thanks to sandiso for reporting this bug +- this release fully inplements IETF's syslog-transport-tls-12 plus + the latest text changes Joe Salowey provided via email. Not included + is ipAddress subjectAltName authentication, which I think will be + dropped from the draft. I don't think there is any real need for it. +This release also includes all bug fix up to today from the beta +and stable branches. Most importantly, this means the bugfix for +100% CPU utilization by imklog. +--------------------------------------------------------------------------- +Version 3.19.3 (rgerhards), 2008-05-21 +- added ability to authenticate the server against its certificate + fingerprint +- added ability for client to provide its fingerprint +- added ability for server to obtain client cert's fingerprint +- bugfix: small mem leak in omfwd on exit (strmdriver name was not freed) +- bugfix: $ActionSendStreamDriver had no effect +- bugfix: default syslog port was no longer used if none was + configured. Thanks to varmojfekoj for the patch +- bugfix: missing linker options caused build to fail on some + systems. Thanks to Tiziano Mueller for the patch. +--------------------------------------------------------------------------- +Version 3.19.2 (rgerhards), 2008-05-16 +- bugfix: TCP input modules did incorrectly set fromhost property + (always blank) +- bugfix: imklog did not set fromhost property +- added "fromhost-ip" property + Note that adding this property changes the on-disk format for messages. + However, that should not have any bad effect on existing spool files. + But you will run into trouble if you create a spool file with this + version and then try to process it with an older one (after a downgrade). + Don't do that ;) +- added "RSYSLOG_DebugFormat" canned template +- bugfix: hostname and fromhost were swapped when a persisted message + (in queued mode) was read in +- bugfix: lmtcpclt, lmtcpsrv and lmgssutil did all link to the static + runtime library, resulting in a large size increase (and potential + "interesting" effects). Thanks to Michael Biebel for reporting the size + issue. +- bugfix: TLS server went into an endless loop in some situations. + Thanks to Michael Biebl for reporting the problem. +- fixed potential segfault due to invalid call to cfsysline + thanks to varmojfekoj for the patch +--------------------------------------------------------------------------- +Version 3.19.1 (rgerhards), 2008-05-07 +- configure help for --enable-gnutls wrong - said default is "yes" but + default actually is "no" - thanks to darix for pointing this out +- file dirty.h was missing - thanks to darix for pointing this out +- bugfix: man files were not properly distributed - thanks to + darix for reporting and to Michael Biebl for help with the fix +- some minor cleanup +--------------------------------------------------------------------------- +Version 3.19.0 (rgerhards), 2008-05-06 +- begins new devel branch version +- implemented TLS for plain tcp syslog (this is also the world's first + implementation of IETF's upcoming syslog-transport-tls draft) +- partly rewritten and improved omfwd among others, now loads TCP + code only if this is actually necessary +- split of a "runtime library" for rsyslog - this is not yet a clean + model, because some modularization is still outstanding. In theory, + this shall enable other utilities but rsyslogd to use the same + runtime +- implemented im3195, the RFC3195 input as a plugin +- changed directory structure, files are now better organized +- a lot of cleanup in regard to modularization +- -c option no longer must be the first option - thanks to varmjofekoj + for the patch +--------------------------------------------------------------------------- Version 3.18.4 (rgerhards), 2008-09-?? - bugfix: order-of magnitude issue with base-10 size definitions in config file parser. Could lead to invalid sizes, constraints |
