Version 5.8.2 [V5-stable] (rgerhards), 2011-06-21

  • bugfix: problems in failover action handling
    closes: http://bugzilla.adiscon.com/show_bug.cgi?id=270
    closes: http://bugzilla.adiscon.com/show_bug.cgi?id=254

  • bugfix: mutex was invalidly left unlocked during action processing
    At least one case where this can occur is during thread shutdown, which
    may be initiated by lower activity. In most cases, this is quite
    unlikely to happen. However, if it does, data structures may be
    corrupted which could lead to fatal failure and segfault. I detected
    this via a testbench test, not a user report. But I assume that some
    users may have had unreproducable aborts that were cause by this bug.

  • bugfix: memory leak in imtcp & subsystems under some circumstances
    This leak is tied to error conditions which lead to incorrect cleanup
    of some data structures. [backport from v6]

  • bugfix/improvement:$WorkDirectory now gracefully handles trailing slashes
