Version 3.18.1 (rgerhards), 2008-07-21
bugfix: potential segfault in creating message mutex in non-direct queue
mode. rsyslogd segfaults on freeeBSD 7.0 (an potentially other platforms)
if an action queue is running in any other mode than non-direct. The
same problem can potentially be triggered by some main message queue
settings. In any case, it will manifest during rsylog's startup. It is
unlikely to happen after a successful startup (the only window of
exposure may be a relatively seldom executed action running in queued
mode). This has been corrected. Thank to HKS for point out the problem.
bugfix: priority was incorrectly calculated on FreeBSD 7,
because the LOG_MAKEPRI() C macro has a different meaning there (it
is just a simple addition of faciltity and severity). I have changed
this to use own, consistent, code for PRI calculation. [Backport from
3.19.10]
bugfix: remove PRI part from kernel message if it is present
Thanks to Michael Biebl for reporting this bug
bugfix: mark messages were not correctly written to text log files
the markmessageinterval was not correctly propagated to all places
where it was needed. This resulted in rsyslog using the default
(20 minutes) in some code pathes, what looked to the user like mark
messages were never written.
added a new property replacer option "sp-if-no-1st-sp" to cover
a problem with RFC 3164 based interpreation of tag separation. While
it is a generic approach, it fixes a format problem introduced in
3.18.0, where kernel messages no longer had a space after the tag.
This is done by a modifcation of the default templates.
Please note that this may affect some messages where there intentionally
is no space between the tag and the first character of the message
content. If so, this needs to be worked around via a specific
template. However, we consider this scenario to be quite remote and,
even if it exists, it is not expected that it will actually cause
problems with log parsers (instead, we assume the new default template
behaviour may fix previous problems with log parsers due to the
missing space).
bugfix: imklog module was not correctly compiled for GNU/kFreeBSD.
Thanks to Petr Salinger for the patch
doc bugfix: property replacer options secpath-replace and
secpath-drop were not documented
doc bugfix: fixed some typos in rsyslog.conf man page

some general cleanup (thanks to Michael Biebl)
