Hi all,
we have just released rsyslog 3.18.0, a new v3-stable version. Rsyslog 3.18.0 begins a new v3-stable based on the previous 3.17.5 beta branch.
It includes all features and bug-fixes from the beta, among others the ability to natively send email. There is one minor bugfix for 3.17.5 included, where RainerScript did not always properly detect syntax errors. This is a recommended update for all v3-stable branch users.
Please note that I also created a 3.16.3 branch, immediately outdated, for those that prefer to keep the previous version for a couple of days.
That version contains an important bugfix which prevents a big memory leak when running the queue in one of the disk modes. This patch is of course also included in 3.18.0. Find 3.16.3 here:
Just to make sure I am not misunderstood: 3.18.0 is the current v3-stable. Other v3-stables are not officially supported (except, of course, via a commercial support contract). 3.16.3 will not receive any patches in the future. So I suggest moving over to 3.18.0. It has been tested for over two month and looks quite ready for prime time.
I would also like to express my sincere thanks to all of you who provided bug reports and patches. This is immensely helpful.
I hope the release is useful. As always, feedback is appreciated.
Rainer Gerhards
