rsyslog 7.3.4 (v7-devel) released
This release most importantly contains drastic improvements of disk queue performance (including DA queues). The new code saves one third of file IO calls, improving both rsyslogd as well as overall system performance. It also contains some smaller enhancements as well as bug fixes.

Changelog for 7.2.3 (v7-stable)
Version 7.2.3 [v7-stable] 2012-11-21
- regression fix: rsyslogd terminated when wild-card $IncludeConfig did not
find actual include files. For example, if this directive is present:
$IncludeConfig /etc/rsyslog.d/*.conf
and there are no *.conf files in /etc/rsyslog.d (but rsyslog.d exists),
rsyslogd will emit an error message and terminate. Previous (and expected)
behaviour is that an empty file set is no problem. HOWEVER, if the
directory itself does not exist, this is flagged as an error and will
load to termination (no startup).
Unfortunately, this is often the case by default in many distros, so this
actually prevents rsyslog startup.
rsyslog 7.2.3 (v7-stable) released
This is mainly a re-release of 7.2.2 with an important regression fix. Version 7.2.2 caused premature end of config file (and most often rsyslog termination) if an $IncludeConfig directive was done on a wildcard that matched no files. This is a default situation on my distro plain installs. Users are strongly urged to upgrade to 7.2.3. Note that we did not build RPMs for 7.2.2 as we noticed the problem early enough.
Version 7.2.3 is also available as RPM via the Adiscon repository (see http://www.rsyslog.com/rhelcentos-rpms/ ).

Changelog for 7.2.2 (v7-stable)
Version 7.2.2 [v7-stable] 2012-10-16
- doc improvements
- enabled to build without libuuid, at loss of uuid functionality
this enables smoother builds on older systems that do not support
libuuid. Loss of functionality should usually not matter too much as
uuid support has only recently been added and is very seldom used. - bugfix: omfwd did not properly support “template” parameter
- bugfix: potential segfault when re_match() function was used
Thanks to oxpa for the patch.
closes: http://bugzilla.adiscon.com/show_bug.cgi?id=371 - bugfix: potential abort of imtcp on rsyslogd shutdown
- bugfix: imzmq3 segfault with PULL subscription
Thanks to Martin Nilsson for the patch. - bugfix: improper handling of backslash in string-type template()s
- bugfix: leading quote (“) in string-type template() lead to thight loop
on startup - bugfix: no error msg on invalid field option in legacy/string template
- bugfix: potential segfault due to invalid param handling in comparisons
This could happen in RainerScript comparisons (like contains); in some
cases an unitialized variable was accessed, which could lead to an
invalid free and in turn to a segfault.
closes: http://bugzilla.adiscon.com/show_bug.cgi?id=372
Thanks to Georgi Georgiev for reporting this bug and his great help
in solving it. - bugfix: no error msg on unreadable $IncludeConfig path
- bugfix: $IncludeConfig did not correctly process directories
closes: http://bugzilla.adiscon.com/show_bug.cgi?id=376
The testbench was also enhanced to check for these cases.
Thanks to Georgi Georgiev for the bug report. - bugfix: make rsyslog compile on kfreebsd again
closes: http://bugzilla.adiscon.com/show_bug.cgi?id=380
Thanks to Guillem Jover for the patch - bugfix: garbled message if field name was used with jsonf property option
The length for the field name was invalidly computed, resulting in either
truncated field names or including extra random data. If the random data
contained NULs, the rest of the message became unreadable. - bugfix: potential segfault at startup with property-based filter
If the property name was followed by a space before the comma, rsyslogd
aborted on startup. Note that no segfault could happen if the initial
startup went well (this was a problem with the config parser).
closes: http://bugzilla.adiscon.com/show_bug.cgi?id=381 - bugfix: imfile discarded some file parts
File lines that were incomplete (LF missing) *at the time imfile polled
the file* were partially discarded. That part of the line that was read
without the LF was discarded, and the rest of the line was submitted in
the next polling cycle. This is now changed so that the partial content
is saved until the complete line is read. Note that the patch affects
only read mode 0.
Thanks to Milan Bartos for providing the base idea for the solution.
rsyslog 7.3.2 (v7-devel) released
This release introduced a totally new rate-limiting system for all modules as well as much better “last message repeated n times” handling. For details, please see Rainer’s blog at
http://blog.gerhards.net/2012/10/rate-limiting-in-rsyslog-732.html
Besides this feature, the version also includes enhancements for omelasticsearch as well as input batching support for imudp (which should provide some performance boost on very busy systems). Also, action-like statements (call, stop, …) are now supported in action lists. Of course, there are also some bugfixes, many imported from v6 and v7.2.

Changelog for 7.3.2 (v7-devel)
Version 7.3.2 [devel] 2012-10-30
- totally reworked ratelimiting and “last message repeated n times”
all over rsyslog code. Each of the supported inputs now supports
linux-like ratelimiting (formerly only imuxsock did). Also, the
“last message repeated n times” is now processed at the input side
and no longer at the output side of rsyslog processing. This
provides the basis for new future additions as well as usually more
performance and a much simpler output part (which can be even further
refactored). - imtcp: support for Linux-Type ratelimiting added
- imptcp: support for Linux-Type ratelimiting added
- imudp enhancements:
- support for input batching added (performance improvement)
- support for Linux-Type ratelimiting added
- permited action-like statements (stop, call, …) in action lists
- bugfix: segfault on startup when modules using MSG_PASSING mode are used
- omelasticsearch: support for writing data errors to local file added
- omelasticsearch: fix check for bulk processing status response
