Thanks to Chris Metcalf for the patch +- bugfix: a slightly more informative error message when a TCP + connections is aborted +--------------------------------------------------------------------------- +Version 4.7.3 [v4-devel] (rgerhards), 2010-11-25 +- bugfix(important): problem in TLS handling could cause rsyslog to loop + in a tight loop, effectively disabling functionality and bearing the + risk of unresponsiveness of the whole system. + Bug tracker: http://bugzilla.adiscon.com/show_bug.cgi?id=194 +- added omuxsock, which permits to write message to local Unix sockets + this is the counterpart to imuxsock, enabling fast local forwarding +- added imptcp, a simplified, Linux-specific and potentielly fast + syslog plain tcp input plugin (NOT supporting TLS!) +- bugfix: a couple of problems that imfile had on some platforms, namely + Ubuntu (not their fault, but occured there) +- bugfix: imfile utilizes 32 bit to track offset. Most importantly, + this problem can not experienced on Fedora 64 bit OS (which has + 64 bit long's!) +- added the $InputFilePersistStateInterval config directive to imfile +- changed imfile so that the state file is never deleted (makes imfile + more robust in regard to fatal failures) +--------------------------------------------------------------------------- +Version 4.7.2 [v4-devel] (rgerhards), 2010-05-03 +- bugfix: problems with atomic operations emulaton + replaced atomic operation emulation with new code.

This + turns out to be useful if they reside on temporary file systems and + rsyslogd starts up before the daemons that create these sockets + (rsyslogd always creates the socket itself if it does not exist). +- added $LogRSyslogStatusMessages configuration directive + permitting to turn off rsyslog start/stop/HUP messages. See Debian + ticket http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=463793 +- added new config directive $omfileForceChown to (try to) fix some broken + system configs. + See ticket for details: http://bugzilla.adiscon.com/show_bug.cgi?id=150 +- added $EscapeControlCharacterTab config directive + Thanks to Jonathan Bond-Caron for the patch. +- added option to use unlimited-size select() calls + Thanks to varmjofekoj for the patch +- debugondemand mode caused backgrounding to fail - close to a bug, but I'd + consider the ability to background in this mode a new feature... +- bugfix (kind of): check if TCP connection is still alive if using TLS + Thanks to Jonathan Bond-Caron for the patch. +- imported changes from 4.5.7 and below +- bugfix: potential segfault when -p command line option was used + Thanks for varmojfekoj for pointing me at this bug. +- bugfix: potential segfaults during queue shutdown + (bugs require certain non-standard settings to appear) + Thanks to varmojfekoj for the patch [imported from 4.5.8] +--------------------------------------------------------------------------- Version 4.6.8 [v4-stable] (rgerhards), 2011-09-01 - bugfix/security: off-by-two bug in legacy syslog parser, CVE-2011-3200 - bugfix: potential misadressing in property replacer @@ -106,12 +198,18 @@ Version 4.6.3 [v4-stable] (rgerhards), 2010-07-07 message-induced off-by-one error (potential segfault) (see 4.6.2) The analysis has been completed and a better fix been crafted and integrated. +- bugfix: the T/P/E config size specifiers did not work properly under + all 32-bit platforms +- bugfix: local unix system log socket was deleted even when it was + not configured - some doc fixes; incorrect config samples could cause confusion thanks to Anthony Edwards for pointing the problems out --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Version 4.6.2 [v4-stable] (rgerhards), 2010-03-26 - new feature: "." action type added to support writing files to relative pathes (this is primarily meant as a debug aid) +- added replacements for atomic instructions on systems that do not + support them.
