rsyslog 8.7.0 (v8-stable) released

We have released rsyslog 8.7.0.

Version 8.7.0 contains various improvements and additions to a wide array of modules, like imfile, imptcp, improvements to RainerScript and mmnormalize (thanks to Singh Janmejay) and a couple of other improvements. But, the biggest addition is the new omkafka module that now allows direct writing to Apache Kafka.

This release also contains important bug fixes.

This is a recommended upgrade for all users.
