Some devices seem to create them and I do not see any harm + in supporting that. +- added $InputTCPMaxListeners directive - permits to specify how many + TCP servers shall be possible (default is 20). +- bugfix: memory leak with some input modules. Those inputs that + use parseAndSubmitMsg() leak two small memory blocks with every message. + Typically, those process only relatively few messages, so the issue + does most probably not have any effect in practice. +- bugfix: if tcp listen port could not be created, no error message was + emitted +- bugfix: potential segfault in output file writer (omfile) + In async write mode, we use modular arithmetic to index the output + buffer array. However, the counter variables accidently were signed, + thus resulting in negative indizes after integer overflow. That in turn + could lead to segfaults, but was depending on the memory layout of + the instance in question (which in turn depended on a number of + variables, like compile settings but also configuration). The counters + are now unsigned (as they always should have been) and so the dangling + mis-indexing does no longer happen. This bug potentially affected all + installations, even if only some may actually have seen a segfault. +- bugfix: hostnames with dashes in them were incorrectly treated as + malformed, thus causing them to be treated as TAG (this was a regression + introduced from the "rfc3164 strict" change in 4.5.0). +--------------------------------------------------------------------------- +Version 4.5.1 [DEVEL] (rgerhards), 2009-07-15 - CONFIG CHANGE: $HUPisRestart default is now "off". We are doing this to support removal of restart-type HUP in v5. - bugfix: fromhost-ip was sometimes truncated @@ -16,6 +42,12 @@ Version 4.5.1 [DEVEL] (rgerhards), 2009-07-?? - bugfix: message could be truncated after TAG, often when forwarding This was a result of an internal processing error if maximum field sizes had been specified in the property replacer. +- added ability for the TCP output action to "rebind" its send socket after + sending n messages (actually, it re-opens the connection, the name is + used because this is a concept very similiar to $ActionUDPRebindInterval). + New config directive $ActionSendTCPRebindInterval added for the purpose. + By default, rebinding is disabled.
