v0 to v6 are deprecated and no longer supported. If you want to use one of these versions anyway and need support, you may consider purchasing a rsyslog support package. Just let us point out that it is really not a good idea to still run a v0 version.
Supported Versions
The project officially supports the head versions of all supported branches (as of the rsyslog status page). For some detailed info about supported versions please read this blog post on Rainer’s Blog.
Platforms
Thankfully, a number of folks have begin to build packages and help port rsyslog to other platforms. As such, the platform list is now maintained inside the rsyslog wiki. Platform maintainers perhaps have posted extra information there. If you do platform-specific work, feel free to add information to the wiki.
Rsyslog is the default syslogd on almost all modern Linuxes. It is also available under BSD and Sun Solaris.
