ChangeLog for 3.22.1 (v3-stable)

Version 3.22.1 [v3-stable] (rgerhards), 2009-07-02

  • bugfix: invalid error message issued if $inlcudeConfig was on an empty set of files (e.g. *.conf, where none such files existed) thanks to Michael Biebl for reporting this bug
  • bugfix: when run in foreground (but not in debug mode), a debug message (“DoDie called”) was emitted at shutdown. Removed. thanks to Michael Biebl for reporting this bug
  • bugfix: some garbagge was emitted to stderr on shutdown. This garbage consisted of file names, which were written during startup (key point: not a pointer error) thanks to Michael Biebl for reporting this bug
  • bugfix: startup and shutdown message were emitted to stdout thanks to Michael Biebl for reporting this bug
  • bugfix: error messages were not emitted to stderr in forked mode
    (stderr and stdo are now kept open across forks)

  • bugfix: internal messages were emitted to whatever file had fd2 when rsyslogd ran in forked mode (as usual!) Thanks to varmojfekoj for the patch
  • small enhancement: config validation run now exits with code 1 if an error is detected. This change is considered important but small enough to apply it directly to the stable version. [But it is a border case, the change requires more code than I had hoped. Thus I have NOT tried to actually catch all cases, this is left for the current devel releases, if necessary]
  • bugfix: light and full delay watermarks had invalid values, badly affecting performance for delayable inputs
  • bugfix: potential segfault issue when multiple $UDPServerRun directives are specified. Thanks to Michael Biebl for helping to debug this one.
  • relaxed GnuTLS version requirement to 1.4.0 after confirmation from the field that this version is sufficient
  • bugfix: parser did not properly handle empty structured data
  • bugfix: invalid mutex release in msg.c (detected under thread debugger, seems not to have any impact on actual deployments)
