Version 7.6.3 [v7.6-stable] 2014-03-27

• add capability to override GnuTLS path in build process
  Thanks to Clayton Shotwell for the patch
• support for librelp 1.2.5
  Support new return states of librelp 1.2.5 to emit better error messages. For obvious reasons, librelp 1.2.5 is now required.
• bugfix: ompipe used invalid default template
  This is a regression from an old change (didn’t track it down precisely, but over a year ago). It used the Forwarding template instead of the file template (so we have a full syslog header). This fix corrects it back to previous behaviour, but new scripts that used the wrong format may now need to have the RSYSLOG_ForwardingFormat template explicitely be applied.

• bugfix: ompipe did emit many suspension messages for /dev/xconsole
  (hopefully now) closes: https://github.com/rsyslog/rsyslog/issues/35
  When it was present, but nobody reading from it. The problem is the way the rsyslog v7 engine tries to resolve failures in outputs. It does some retries, and along those lines some state information gets lost and it is close to impossible to retain it. However, the actual root problem is that ompipe does not reliably detect if it is able to recover. The problem here is that it actually does not know this before it does an actual write. These two things together mess up the logic that suppresses invalid resumption/suspension messages (actually, the plugin switches state really that often). Nevertheless, the prime problem with /dev/xconsole (and probably most other pipes as well) is that it gets full. So I have now added code that checks, during resume processing, if the pipe is writable. If it is not, resume is deferred. That should address the case.
