ChangeLog for 5.5.1 (devel)

Version 5.5.1 [DEVEL] (rgerhards), 2009-11-27

• introduced the ablity for netstream drivers to utilize an epoll interface
  This offers increased performance and removes the select() FDSET size limit from imtcp. Note that we fall back to select() if there is no epoll netstream drivers. So far, an epoll driver has only been implemented for plain tcp syslog, the rest will follow once the code proves well in practice AND there is demand.

• re-implemented $EscapeControlCharacterTab config directive
  Based on Jonathan Bond-Caron’s patch for v4. This now also includes some automatted tests.

• bugfix: enabling GSSServer crashes rsyslog startup
  Thanks to Tomas Kubina for the patch [imgssapi]

• bugfix (kind of): check if TCP connection is still alive if using TLS
  Thanks to Jonathan Bond-Caron for the patch.
