Version 6.3.7 [DEVEL] 2012-02-02
- imported refactored v5.9.6 imklog linux driver, now combined with BSD driver
- removed imtemplate/omtemplate template modules, as this was waste of time
The actual input/output modules are better copy templates. Instead, the now-removed modules cost time for maintenance AND often caused confusion on what their role was.
- added new stats objects
- improved support for new v6 config system. The build-in output modules now all support the new config language
- bugfix: facility local<x> was not correctly interpreted in legacy filters
Was only accepted if it was the first PRI in a multi-filter PRI. Thanks to forum user Mark for bringing this to our attention.
- bugfix: potential abort after reading invalid X.509 certificate
closes: http://bugzilla.adiscon.com/show_bug.cgi?id=290
Thanks to Tomas Heinrich for the patch
- bufgix: legacy parsing of some filters did not work correctly
- bugfix: rsyslog aborted during startup if there is an error in loading an action and legacy configuration mode is used
- bugfix: bsd klog driver did no longer compile
- relicensed larger parts of the code under Apache (ASL) 2.0

Version 5.9.5 [V5-DEVEL], 2012-01-27
- improved impstats subsystem, added many new counters
- enhanced module loader to not rely on PATH_MAX
- refactored imklog linux driver, now combined with BSD driver
The Linux driver no longer supports outdated kernel symbol resolution,
which was disabled by default for very long. Also overall cleanup,
resulting in much smaller code. Linux and BSD are now covered by a
single small driver.
- $IMUXSockRateLimitInterval DEFAULT CHANGED, was 5, now 0
The new default turns off rate limiting. This was chosen as people
experienced problems with rate-limiting activated by default. Now it
needs an explicit opt-in by setting this parameter.
Thanks to Chris Gaffney for suggesting to make it opt-in; thanks to
many unnamed others who already had complained at the time Chris made
the suggestion ;-)

This release brings many additional statistics counters and a couple of bug fixes. Note that the default setting of $IMUxSockRateLimitInterval was changed to 0, as rate limiting seems to have caused more trouble than it was worth. To enable it, simply set it to 200, the previous default.

This release provides support for “trusted properties”, which may enhance overall system security. This is a new concept and feedback on it is appreciated. For more details on trusted properties, please visit
http://www.rsyslog.com/what-are-trusted-properties/
or Rainer’s blog post with some more background about trusted properties:
http://blog.gerhards.net/2011/11/trusted-properties-in-rsyslog.html
In addition to this feature, we have reduced dependency on libgcrypt and fixed some bugs.

Version 5.9.4 [V5-DEVEL], 2011-11-29
- imuxsock: added capability to “annotate” messages with “trusted information”, which contains some properties obtained from the system and as such is sure to not be faked. This is inspired by the similiar idea introduced in systemd. removed dependency on gcrypt for recently-enough GnuTLS
see: http://bugzilla.adiscon.com/show_bug.cgi?id=289
- bugfix: imuxsock did no longer ignore message-provided timestamp, if so configured (the *default*). Lead to no longer sub-second timestamps.
closes: http://bugzilla.adiscon.com/show_bug.cgi?id=281
- bugfix: omfile returns fatal error code for things that go really wrong previously, RS_RET_RESUME was returned, which lead to a loop inside the rule engine as omfile could not really recover.
- bugfix: rsyslogd -v always said 64 atomics were not present
thanks to mono_matsuko for the patch
