Version 3.12.1 (rgerhards), 2008-03-06
added library plugins, which can be automatically loaded
bugfix: actions were not correctly retried; caused message loss
changed module loader to automatically add ".so" suffix if not
specified (over time, this shall also ease portability of config
files)
improved debugging support; debug runtime options can now be set via
an environment variable
bugfix: removed debugging code that I forgot to remove before releasing
3.12.0 (does not cause harm and happened only during startup)
added support for the MonitorWare syslog MIB to omsnmp
internal code improvements (more code converted into classes)
internal code reworking of the imtcp/imgssapi module
added capability to ignore client-provided timestamp on unix sockets and
made this mode the default; this was needed, as some programs (e.g. sshd)
log with inconsistent timezone information, what messes up the local
logs (which by default don't even contain time zone information). This
seems to be consistent with what sysklogd did for the past four years.
Alternate behaviour may be desirable if gateway-like processes send
messages via the local log slot - in this case, it can be enabled
via the $InputUnixListenSocketIgnoreMsgTimestamp and
$SystemLogSocketIgnoreMsgTimestamp config directives
added ability to compile on HP UX; verified that imudp worked on HP UX;
however, we are still in need of people trying out rsyslogd on HP UX,
so it can not yet be assumed it runs there
