+Version 5.7.4 [V5-BETA] (rgerhards), 2011-02-??
+- added pmsnare parser module (written by David Lang)
+- enhanced imfile to support non-cancel input termination
+- improved systemd socket activation thanks to Marius Tomaschweski
+- improved error reporting for $WorkDirectory
+ non-existance and other detectable problems are now reported,
+ and the work directory is NOT set in this case
+- bugfix: pmsnare causded abort under some conditions
+- bugfix: abort if imfile reads file line of more than 64KiB
+ Thanks to Peter Eisentraut for reporting and analysing this problem.
+ bug tracker: http://bugzilla.adiscon.com/show_bug.cgi?id=221
+- bugfix: queue engine did not properly slow down inputs in FULL_DELAY mode
+ when in disk-assisted mode. This especially affected imfile, which
+ created unnecessarily queue files if a large set of input file data was
+ to process.
+- bugfix: very long running actions could prevent shutdown under some
+ circumstances. This has now been solved, at least for common
+ situations.
+- bugfix: fixed compile problem due to empty structs
+ this occured only on some platforms/compilers. thanks to Dražen Kačar
+ for the fix
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+Version 5.7.3 [V5-BETA] (rgerhards), 2011-02-07
+- added support for processing multi-line messages in imfile
+- added $IMUDPSchedulingPolicy and $IMUDPSchedulingPriority config settings
+- added $LocalHostName config directive
+- bugfix: fixed build problems on some platforms
+ namely those that have 32bit atomic operations but not 64 bit ones
+- bugfix: local hostname was pulled too-early, so that some config
+ directives (namely FQDN settings) did not have any effect
+- bugfix: imfile did duplicate messages under some circumstances
+- added $OMMySQLConfigFile config directive
+- added $OMMySQLConfigSection config directive
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+Version 5.7.2 [V5-DEVEL] (rgerhards), 2010-11-26
+- 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
+- bugfix: imfile state file was not written when relative file name
+ for it was specified
+- bugfix: compile failed on systems without epoll_create1()
+ Thanks to David Hill for providing a fix.
+- bugfix: atomic increment for msg object may not work correct on all
+ platforms. Thanks to Chris Metcalf for the patch
+- bugfix: replacements for atomic operations for non-int sized types had
+ problems. At least one instance of that problem could potentially lead
+ to abort (inside omfile).
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+Version 5.7.1 [V5-DEVEL] (rgerhards), 2010-10-05
+- support for Hadoop's HDFS added (via omhdfs)
+- imuxsock now optionally use SCM_CREDENTIALS to pull the pid from the log
+ socket itself
+ (thanks to Lennart Poettering for the suggesting this feature)
+- imuxsock now optionally uses per-process input rate limiting, guarding the
+ user against processes spamming the system log
+ (thanks to Lennart Poettering for suggesting this feature)
+- added new config statements
+ * $InputUnixListenSocketUsePIDFromSystem
+ * $SystemLogUsePIDFromSystem
+ * $SystemLogRateLimitInterval
+ * $SystemLogRateLimitBurst
+ * $SystemLogRateLimitSeverity
+ * $IMUxSockRateLimitInterval
+ * $IMUxSockRateLimitBurst
+ * $IMUxSockRateLimitSeverity
+- imuxsock now supports up to 50 different sockets for input
+- some code cleanup in imuxsock (consider this a release a major
+ modification, especially if problems show up)
+- bugfix: /dev/log was unlinked even when passed in from systemd
+ in which case it should be preserved as systemd owns it
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+Version 5.7.0 [V5-DEVEL] (rgerhards), 2010-09-16
+- added module impstat to emit periodic statistics on rsyslog counters
+- support for systemd officially added
+ * acquire /dev/log socket optionally from systemd
+ thanks to Lennart Poettering for this patch
+ * sd-systemd API added as part of rsyslog runtime library
