Version 8.12.0 [v8-stable] 2015-08-11

• Harmonize resetConfigVariables values and defaults
  see also https://github.com/rsyslog/rsyslog/pull/413
  Thanks to Tomas Heinrich for the patch.
• GT/KSI: fix some issues in signature file format and add conversion tool
  The file format is incompatible to previous format, but tools have been upgraded to handle both and also an option been added to convert from old to new format.
• bugfix: ommysql did not work when gnutls was enabled
  As it turned out, this was due to a check for GnuTLS functions with the side-effect that AC_CHECK_LIB, by default, adds the lib to LIBS, if there is no explicit action, what was the case here. So everything was now linked against GnuTLS, which in turn made ommysql fail.
  Thanks to Thomas D. (whissi) for the analysis of the ommysql/gnutls problem and Thomas Heinrich for pointing out that AC_CHECK_LIB might be the culprit.
• bugfix omfile: potential memory leak on file close
  see also: https://github.com/rsyslog/rsyslog/pull/423
  Thanks to Robert Schiele for the patch.
• bugfix omfile: potential race in dynafile detection/creation
  This could lead to a segfault.
  Thanks to Tomas Heinrich for the patch.
• bugfix omfile: Fix race-condition detection in path-creation code
  The affected code is used to detect a race condition in between testing for the existence of a directory and creating it if it didn’t exist.  The variable tracking the number of attempts wasn’t reset for subsequent elements in the path, thus limiting the number of reattempts to one per the whole path, instead of one per each path element.
  This solution was provided by Martin Poole.
• bugfix parser subsystem: potential misadressing in SanitizeMsg() could lead to a segfault
  Thanks to Tomas Heinrich for the patch.
• imfile: files moved outside of directory are now (properly) handled
• bugfix: imfile: segfault when using startmsg.regex if first log line doesn’t match
  Thanks to Ciprian Hacman for the patch.
• bugfix imfile: file table was corrupted when on file deletion
  This could happen when a file that was statically configured (not via an wildcard) was deleted.
• bugfix ompgsql: transaction were improperly handled
  Now transaction support is solidly disabled until we have enough requests to implement it again. Module still works fine in single insert mode.

• bugfix mmjsonparse: memory leak if non-cee-json message is processed
  see also https://github.com/rsyslog/rsyslog/pull/383
