Changelog for 7.4.10 (v7-stable)

Version 7.4.10 [v7.4-stable] 2014-02-12

bugfix: json templates are improperly created
Strings miss the terminating NUL character, which obviously can lead to all sorts of problems.

Thanks to Alain for the analysis and the patch.
ompgsql bugfix: improper handling of auto-backgrounding mode
If rsyslog was set to auto-background itself (default code behaviour, but many distros now turn it off for good reason), ompgsql could not properly connect. This could even lead to a segfault. The core reason was that a PG session handle was kept open over a fork, something that is explicitely forbidden in the PG API.
Thanks to Alain for the analysis and the patch.
