rsyslog 7.5.5 (v7-devel) released
This release offers some important bug fixes and exciting new features. Most importantly, imudp can now use multiple input threads for even higher UDP input throughput. And imfile now longer has a hardcoded limit on the number of files that can be monitored. You can now monitor as many files as you like. Support for setting default timezones has been added to imptcp and imudp, but is still in experimental state (but feel free to use it if it suits you!). More detailed information is available in the changelog.

Changelog for 7.5.5 (v7-devel)
Version 7.5.5 [devel] 2013-10-16
- imfile: permit to monitor an unlimited number of files
- imptcp: add “defaultTZ” input parameter
- imudp: support for multiple receiver threads added
- imudp: add “dfltTZ” input config parameter
- bugfix: memory leak in mmnormalize
- bugfix: mmutf8fix did not properly handle invalid UTF-8 at END of message if the very last character sequence was too long, this was not detected
Thanks to Risto Vaarandi for reporting this problem. - mmanon: removed the check for specific “terminator characters” after last octet. As it turned out, this didn’t work in practice as there was an enormous set of potential terminator chars — so removing them was the best thing to do. Note that this may change behaviour of existing installations. Yet, we still consider this an important bugfix, that should be applied to the stable branch.

Thanks to Muri Cicanor for initiating the discussion - now requires libestr 0.1.7 as early versions had a nasty bug in string comparisons
- bugfix: mmanon did not detect all IP addresses in rewrite mode
The problem occured if two IPs were close to each other and the first one was shrunk.

Thanks to micah-at-riseup.net for reporting this bug - bugfix: mmanon sometimes used invalid replacement char in simple mode depending on configuration sequence, the replacement character was set to ‘s’ instead of the correct value. Most importantly, it was set to ‘s’ if simple mode was selected and no replacement char set.

Thanks to micah-at-riseup.net for reporting this bug - bugfix: memory leak in mmnormalize
