—————————————————————————-
v1.0.4 2014-04-03
– fix build problems on some platforms (namely RHEL/CENTOS 5)
– add –disable-man pages ./configure option
  This permits to totally turn off man page handling. This is useful for
  platforms like RHEL/CENTOS 5 where rst2man is hard to get when building
  from git is desired.
– lower build system requirements to autoconf 2.59
  This permits building on RHEL/CENTOs 5 with stock autotools.

librelp 1.2.5

This version of librelp allows to use anonymous TLS on platforms where GnuTLS misses certificate verification function. This permits to use at least anon TLS on platforms like RHEL and CENTOS 6.

Version 1.2.5 – 2014-03-20
– permit to use anonymous TLS on platforms where GnuTLS misses
certificate verification function. This permits to use at least
anon TLS on platforms like RHEL and CENTOS 6.

liblogging 1.0.3 [download]

We have released liblogging 1.0.3.

This is a pure bug-fixing release fixing some build problems and clarifying part of the API.

v1.0.3 2014-03-18
– fix build problem in Ubuntu 10.04
  Thanks to Assaf Gordon for reporting
  See: https://github.com/rsyslog/liblogging/issues/11
– do not override user varibale CFLAGS
  Thanks to Thomas D. for reporting this problem and suggesting a solution.
  closes: https://github.com/rsyslog/liblogging/issues/15
– make liblogging-rfc3195 not export private symbols
  Thanks to Michael Biebl for his help in getting this right.
– explain that stdlog_log() return code usually most not be checked
  (if same level of reliability like syslog(3) is desired)

librelp 1.2.4

librelp 1.2.4 [download]

This version of librelp is a correction for the API/ABI change in v1.2.3. Everything else stays the same.

———————————————————————-
Version 1.2.4 – 2014-03-17
– correct API/ABI change in 1.2.3
My reasoning was flawed, and we could run into problems with
apps that required the new version but could not detect that an
older one was installed.
Thanks to Michael Biebl for pointing this out.
What we have done is:
– revert back to previous state (return void)
* relpSrvEnableTLS();
* relpSrvEnableTLSZip();
These functions are now deprecated.
– introduce new functions that return a state
* relpSrvEnableTLS2();
* relpSrvEnableTLSZip2();

librelp 1.2.3

librelp 1.2.3 [download]

This version of librelp addresses the problem that RHEL and CENTOS provide too-old versions of GnuTLS to make support librelp’s TLS functionality. To “solve” this problem, TLS can now be disabled in librelp, so that base RELP functionality is also available on those platforms.

Note that librelp previously built on those platforms, but DID NOT WORK.

Version 1.2.3 – 2014-03-13
– add ability to build librelp without TLS
This is required on some platforms where GnuTLS is too old
Use –disable-tls to select this mode. If set, RELP_RET_ERR_NO_TLS
will be returned on calls that selected TLS mode.
See also: https://github.com/rsyslog/librelp/issues/1
– API change: two functions that used to return void now return state
these are:
* relpSrvEnableTLS();
* relpSrvEnableTLSZip();
This change is acceptable because the state must not necessary be
evaluated. If not, the same error is returned a bit later in the
calling sequence. Having it early, however, may help with better
error messages. So it’s still optional to check.
– bugfix: configure required too-old version of GnuTLS

  This lead to successful builds which later on would not execute.

LibLogging 1.0.2 released

liblogging 1.0.2 [download]

We have released liblogging 1.0.2.

This is the first release with a basically feature-complete liblogging-stdlog component. It is an enhanced replacement for the syslog(3) API which supports multiple channels, signal-safeness, and logging drivers for syslog, the systemd journal, unix sockets, and files. While this version is suitable for use with applications, we still invite comments and code reviews.

The man page for the standard logging library is available at
    https://github.com/rsyslog/liblogging/blob/master/stdlog/stdlog.rst

Please report issues and feature requests to
    https://github.com/rsyslog/liblogging/issues

Feedback of any kind is highly appreciated.

Note: if the journal driver is to be build (enabled by default), a new dependency libsystemd-journal exists. This is the required to use the journal API. You can turn off building the journal driver via the –disable-journal configure option.

How to Contribute to rsyslog?

Rsyslog is a real open source project and open to contributions. By contributing, you help improve the state of logging as well as improve your own professional profile. Contributing is easy, and there are options for everyone – you don’t need to be developer.

These are many ways to contribute to the project:

  • become a rsyslog ambassador and let other people know about rsyslog and how to utilize it for best results. Help rsyslog getting backlinks, be present on Internet news sites or at meetings you attend.
  • help others by offering support on
  • help with the documentation; you can either contribute
  • become a bug-hunter and help with testing rsyslog development releases
  • help driving the rsyslog infrastructure with its web sites, wiki’s and the like
  • help creating packages
  • or, obviously, help with rsyslog code development

This list is not conclusive. There for sure are many more ways to contribute and if you find one, just let us know. We are very open to new suggestions and like to try out new things.

We have also some more in-depth information on specific contribution topics available and more is upcoming. Right now, dig down into

Again, your contribution is highly appreciated, and very rewarding. Participate in the open source movement!
