Changelog for 6.3.2 (v6-devel)

Version 6.3.2 [DEVEL] (rgerhards), 2011-07-06

  • added support for the “:omusrmsg:” syntax in configuring user messages
  • systemd support: set stdout/stderr to null – thx to Lennart for the patch
  • added support for obtaining timestamp for kernel message from message
    If the kernel time-stamps messages, time is now take from that
    timestamp instead of the system time when the message was read. This
    provides much better accuracy. Thanks to Lennart Poettering for
    suggesting this feature and his help during implementation.

  • added support for obtaining timestamp from system for imuxsock
    This permits to read the time a message was submitted to the system
    log socket. Most importantly, this is provided in microsecond resolution.
    So we are able to obtain high precision timestampis even for messages
    that were – as is usual – not formatted with them. This also simplifies
    things in regard to local time calculation in chroot environments.
    Many thanks to Lennart Poettering for suggesting this feature,
    providing some guidance on implementing it and coordinating getting the
    necessary support into the Linux kernel.

  • bugfix: timestamp was incorrectly calculated for timezones with minute
    offset
    closes: http://bugzilla.adiscon.com/show_bug.cgi?id=271

  • 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.
