librelp 1.2.11
librelp 1.2.11 [download]
This new release of librelp is mostly a bugfixing release that fixes several issues, especially a potential segfault. The new version also has an API enhancement that adds a configurable connection timeout.
For more details, please take a look at the changelog below.
– bugfix: do not accept more than one “open” verb on a connection
closes https://github.com/rsyslog/librelp/issues/37
– bugfix: potential segfault when high-numbered fd is used in sender
When a fd (socket) with value >= 1024 was used by the client sender
process, the library could segfault in select(). This depended a bit
on the platform.
This patch solves the issue by replacing the select() call with
poll(). Note that we do not changed to epoll(), because
(a) we only wait on a single fd
(b) poll() is more portable
closes https://github.com/rsyslog/librelp/issues/38
– bugfix: make librelp not run in thight loop when out of sockets
If the process can no longer accept new connections (via accept)
because it has reached its file handle maximum, librelp runs in
a thight loop until either the client connection request is aborted
or a file handle becomes available.
This happens due to the fact that we get event notifications on
connection requests. As we can’t satisfy it, we librelp always
retries. Unfortunately, there is no socket call to cancel a
connection request, so we cannot push the client request out.
An alternative solution would be to close and re-open the
listening socket, but in that case it is uncertain if we ever can
re-aquire a socket (an easy DoS). So the best thing we can
probably do is delay retries a bit. We must be careful, however,
not to use a too long delay, as that would also affect other
connections. We could address that problem via a dedicated thread
for the listening process, but librelp is designed so that it can
be used by callers with any threading library and threading model,
and that would violate this design principle.
Judging the alternatives, a slight delay probably is the best
solution, especially as the situation is uncommon and will hopefully
not last too long. This patch implements that solution.

session is restarting

librelp 1.2.10
librelp 1.2.10 [download]
This new release of librelp fixes a problem with sending large buffers, improves sender/receiver code and enables compatibility with older versions of GnuTLS.
– make compatible with older versions of GnuTLS which require
libgcrypt
– improve example sender/receiver code
Thanks to Chris Pilkington for the patches.
– bugfix: Send full buffers after connection re-establishing
When sending large buffers it’s possible that only part of buffer data
will be transferred before connection is closed. Then on connection
re-establishing librelp thinks part of buffer is already sent and
transfers only remaining part. Remote side then is not be able to parse
such message and always closes the connection.
Thanks to github user cellscape for the patch.

Thanks to Ivan Kryak for the patch

LibLogging 1.0.4 released
liblogging 1.0.4 [download]
We have released liblogging 1.0.4.
—————————————————————————-
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
librelp 1.2.5 [download]
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 released
liblogging 1.0.3 [download]
We have released liblogging 1.0.3.
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();
