ChangeLog for 5.3.6 (v5-beta)

Version 5.3.6 [BETA] (rgerhards), 2010-01-13

• bugfix: ompgsql did not properly check the server connection in
  tryResume(), which could lead to rsyslog running in a thight loop

• bugfix: suspension during beginTransaction() was not properly handled
  by rsyslog core

• bugfix: omfile output was only written when buffer was full, not at
  end of transaction

• bugfix: commit transaction was not properly conveyed to message layer,
  potentially resulting in non-message destruction and thus hangs

• bugfix: enabling GSSServer crashes rsyslog startup
  Thanks to Tomas Kubina for the patch [imgssapi]

• bugfix (kind of): check if TCP connection is still alive if using TLS
  Thanks to Jonathan Bond-Caron for the patch.

• bugfix: $CreateDirs variable not properly initialized, default thus
  was random (but most often “on”) [imported from v3]

• bugfix: ompgsql had problems with transaction support, what actually
  rendered it unsuable. Thanks to forum user “horhe” for alerting me
  on this bug and helping to debug/fix it!

• bugfix: memory leak when sending messages in zip-compressed format
  Thanks to Naoya Nakazawa for analyzing this issue and providing a patch.

• worked around an issue where omfile failed to compile on 32 bit platforms
  under some circumstances (this smells like a gcc problem, but a simple
  solution was available). Thanks to Kenneth Marshall for some advice.
