bugfix: zero-length strings were not supported in object
deserializer
properties are now case-insensitive everywhere (script, filters,
templates)
added the capability to specify a processing (actually dequeue)
timeframe with queues - so things can be configured to be done
at off-peak hours
We have removed the 32 character size limit (from RFC3164) on the
tag. This had bad effects on existing envrionments, as sysklogd didn't
obey it either (probably another bug in RFC3164...). We now receive
the full size, but will modify the outputs so that only 32 characters
max are used by default. If you need large tags in the output, you need
to provide custom templates.
changed command line processing. -v, -M, -c options are now parsed
and processed before all other options. Inter-option dependencies
have been relieved. Among others, permits to specify intial module
load path via -M only (not the environment) which makes it much
easier to work with non-standard module library locations. Thanks
to varmojfekoj for suggesting this change. Matches bugzilla bug 55.
bugfix: some messages were emited without hostname
Plus a number of bugfixes that were applied to v3-stable and beta
branches (not mentioned here in detail).
