Version 0.9.2 (RGer), around 2005-07-05
-- changed the max supported message size to 32K. This is to satisfy
- the needs of the IHE (Integrating the Healthcare Environment)
- initiative. They use syslog for auditing and may generate messages
- that large.
+- I intended to change the maxsupported message size to 32k to
+ support IHE - but given the memory inefficiency in the usual use
+ cases, I have not done this. I have, however, included very
+ specific instructions on how to do this in the source code. I have
+ also done some testing with 32k messages, so you can change the
+ max size without taking too much risk.
- added a syslog/tcp receiver; we now can receive messages via
- plain tcp, but we can still send only via UDP.
+ plain tcp, but we can still send only via UDP. The syslog/tcp
+ receiver is the primary enhancement of this release.
- slightly changed some error messages that contained a spurios \n at
the end of the line (which gives empty lines in your log...)
