Most importantly affects imtcp. +- imptcp now supports non-cancel termination mode, a plus in stability +- imptcp speedup: multiple worker threads can now be used to read data +- new directive $InputIMPTcpHelperThreads added +- 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 +- enhanced tcpflood to support multiple sender threads + this is required for some high-throughput scenarios (and necessary to + run some performance tests, because otherwise the sender is too slow). +--------------------------------------------------------------------------- +Version 6.1.2 [DEVEL] (rgerhards), 2010-12-16 +- added experimental support for log normalizaton (via liblognorm) + support for normalizing log messages has been added in the form of + mmnormalize. The core engine (property replacer, filter engine) has + been enhanced to support properties from normalized events. + Note: this is EXPERIMENTAL code. It is currently know that + there are issues if the functionality is used with + - disk-based queues + - asynchronous action queues + You can not use the new functionality together with these features. + This limitation will be removed in later releases. However, we + preferred to release early, so that one can experiment with the new + feature set and accepted the price that this means the full set of + functionality is not yet available. If not used together with + these features, log normalizing should be pretty stable. +- enhanced testing tool tcpflood + now supports sending via UDP and the capability to run multiple + iterations and generate statistics data records +- bugfix: potential abort when output modules with different parameter + passing modes were used in configured output modules +--------------------------------------------------------------------------- +Version 6.1.1 [DEVEL] (rgerhards), 2010-11-30 +- 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 +- support for omhdfs officially added (import from 5.7.1) +- merged imuxsock improvements from 5.7.1 (see there) +- support for systemd officially added (import from 5.7.0) +- 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!) +- a number of other bugfixes from older versions imported +--------------------------------------------------------------------------- +Version 6.1.0 [DEVEL] (rgerhards), 2010-08-12 + +*********************************** NOTE ********************************** +The v6 versions of rsyslog feature a greatly redesigned config system +which, among others, supports scoping. However, the initial version does +not contain the whole new system. Rather it will evolve. So it is +expected that interfaces, even new ones, break during the initial +6.x.y releases. +*********************************** NOTE ********************************** + +- added $Begin, $End and $ScriptScoping config scope statments + (at this time for actions only). +- added imptcp, a simplified, Linux-specific and potentielly fast + syslog plain tcp input plugin (NOT supporting TLS!) + [ported from v4] +--------------------------------------------------------------------------- Version 5.7.3 [V5-DEVEL] (rgerhards), 2010-12-?? - added support for processing multi-line messages in imfile - added $IMUDPSchedulingPolicy and $IMUDPSchedulingPriority config settings |
