Version 1.12.0 (RGer), 2005-10-26, development branch
moved to a multi-threaded design. single-threading is still optionally available. Multi-threading is experimental!
fixed a potential race condition. In the original code, marking was done by an alarm handler, which could lead to all sorts of bad things. This has been changed now. See comments in syslogd.c/domark() for details.
improved debug output for property-based filters
not a code change, but: I have checked all exit()s to make sure that none occurs once rsyslogd has started up. Even in unusual conditions (like low-memory conditions) rsyslogd somehow remains active. Of course, it might loose a message or two, but at least it does not abort and it can also recover when the condition no longer persists.
fixed a bug that could cause loss of the last message received immediately before rsyslogd was terminated.
added comments on thread-safety of global variables in syslogd.c
fixed a small bug: spurios printf() when TCP syslog was used
fixed a bug that causes rsyslogd to dump core on termination when one of the selector lines did not receive a message during the run (very unlikely)
fixed an one-too-low memory allocation in the TCP sender. Could result in rsyslogd dumping core.
fixed a bug with regular expression support (thanks to Andres Riancho)
a little bit of code restructuring (especially main(), which was horribly large)
Only logged in users are allowed to comment.
