Hi all,
Rsyslog 3.12.1 is available immediately. There has been a log going on under the hood, code has been cleaned up and become more modular (you'll see more of that in the upcoming releases) and a library plugin-interface has been added (which so far is not really visible to the end user). We also worked a bit on portability and rsyslogd now compiles under HP UX. We are looking for testers, so if you have HP UX, you are invited to try it out.
Feature-wise, a new syslog mib as been added, runtime debugging support enhanced and the ability to discard timestamps received via unix sockets has now been added (and is the default). This is necessary to keep time information consistent even if local programs log with wrong time information (what they do in practice).
The gssapi code has greatly been changed and uses the new dynamic plugin library system. Consequently, some trouble in this regard cannot be ruled out ;).
Finally, there is an important bugfix: failed actions were not properly retried, causing message loss in a destination-failure scenario. This is now corrected.
