+Version 4.7.4 [v4-???] (rgerhards), 2010-11-??
+- bugfix: PRI was invalid on Solaris for message from local log socket
+- added $LocalHostName config directive
+- bugfix: local hostname was pulled too-early, so that some config
+ directives (namely FQDN settings) did not have any effect
+- bugfix: atomic increment for msg object may not work correct on all
+ platforms. 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. The previous code
+ seemed to have some issue and also limited concurrency severely. The
+ whole atomic operation emulation has been rewritten.
+- added new $Sleep directive to hold processing for a couple of seconds
+ during startup
+- bugfix: programname filter in ! configuration can not be reset
+ Thanks to Kiss Gabor for the patch.
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+Version 4.7.1 [v4-devel] (rgerhards), 2010-04-22
+- Solaris support much improved -- was not truely usable in 4.7.0
+ Solaris is no longer supported in imklog, but rather there is a new
+ plugin imsolaris, which is used to pull local log sources on a Solaris
+ machine.
+- testbench improvement: Java is no longer needed for testing tool creation
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+Version 4.7.0 [v4-devel] (rgerhards), 2010-04-14
+- new: support for Solaris added (but not yet the Solaris door API)
+- added function getenv() to RainerScript
+- added new config option $InputUnixListenSocketCreatePath
+ to permit the auto-creation of pathes to additional log sockets. 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]

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. [backport of Stefen Sledz' patch for v5)
- new feature: $OMFileAsyncWriting directive added
it permits to specifiy if asynchronous writing should be done or not
- bugfix(temporary): message-induced off-by-one error (potential segfault)
