I have identified a UDP message loss problem in rsyslog 1.19.7. If you have not yet installed that release, DO NOT INSTALL IT. I will remove it from the download links. A fixed version will be released soon as 1.19.8.

Rsyslog 1.19.7 is a code cleanup, bug fixing and maintenance release. Its primary goal is enhanced stability. Feature-wise, it offers support of dropping NUL characters, which are often found at the end of invalidly formatted syslog messages. Upgrading to this release is recommended for all users.
Release 1.19.6 is a code cleanup and bug fixing release. It provides a number of fixes, cleans up compiler warnings and has some doc improvements. We are still investigating a problem that causes rsyslog to segfault in some constellations and are looking for active feedback. Those that help in this effort are kindly requested to update to this
release, as it contains the latest code. The upgrade is recommended only for people who experience problems or would like to help with bugfixing.
Rsyslog 1.19.5 has been released. It is primarily targeted at fixing rare situations in which a segfault could occur. These have not consistently been able to reproduce in lab. Release 1.19.5 may still have a problem or may hang where previous versions segfaulted. We are actively looking for feedback from the field. Feature-wise, the $ModDir config directive has been added and $ModLoad has been enhanced. We recommend upgrading only for those that experience the problem with earlier versions or those actively interested in helping to solve the bug. If you experience a bug, please report it.
rsyslog 1.19.4 is a bug fixing release. It contains no new features, but stability updates. Most importantly, it addresses some bugs that have lead to program aborts. 1.19.4 is a recommended update for all users.
rsyslog 1.19.3 has been released today. This is a cleanup and bug fixing release. It fixes a critical bug in dynamic file generation as well as a small memory leak. The negative selector for program name filter (Blocks in rsyslog.conf) works as expected now. Further the rsyslog.conf documentation has been enhanced. This is a highly recommended update for all users.
rsyslog 1.19.2 has been released today. Most importantly, the release fixes a segfault on receiving a specifically formed message. Some other minor bugs have been fixed as well as an issue with applying Global Directives on file creation. This is a recommended update for all
users.
rsyslog 1.19.1 has been released today. This is a cleanup and bug fixing release. It fixes a bug which can lead to a high load closing a remote connection. A potential sefault on reinit was fixed as well as some other bugs. Further the unloading of modules was enhanced.
Especially the MySQL output module has been optimized. The hardcoded module path "/lib/rsyslog" changed to $(pkglibdir) in order to support 64 bit platforms. This is a recommended update for all users.
rsyslog 1.19.0 has been released today. This release is the first to support dynamically loading of output plug-ins. The MySQL output module has been converted into a loadable plug-in. This enables packagers to create much cleaner solutions by providing a rsyslog base package and a MySQL add-on package. This release is recommended for all users.
rsyslog 1.18.2 has been released today. Besides two bug fixes in outchannel code and in ommysql the overall documentation got a refresh. Also by request of a debian packager rsyslog's debian subdirectory was removed. Some preparation for dynamically loadable modules were added, too. Version 1.18.2 is a recommended update for all users.
