Changelog for 7.2.1 (v7-stable)

Version 7.2.1  [v7-stable] 2012-10-29

  • bugfix: ruleset()-object did only support a single statement
  • added -D rsyslogd option to enable config parser debug mode
  • improved syntax error messages by outputting the error token
  • the rsyslog core now suspeneds actions after 10 failures in a row
    This was former the case after 1,000 failures and could cause rsyslog
    to be spammed/ressources misused. See the v6 compatibility doc for more details.
  • ommongodb rate-limits error messages to prevent spamming the syslog
    closes (for v7.2): http://bugzilla.adiscon.com/show_bug.cgi?id=366

Changelog for 7.3.1 (v7-devel)

Version 7.3.1  [devel] 2012-10-19

  • optimized template processing performance, especially for $NOW family of properties
  • change lumberjack cookie to “@cee:” from “@cee: ”
    CEE originally specified the cookie with SP, whereas other lumberjack tools used it without space. In order to keep interop with lumberjack, we now use the cookie without space as well. I hope this can be changed in CEE as well when it is released at a later time.
    Thanks to Miloslav Trmač for pointing this out and a similiar v7 patch.
  • bugfix: imuxsock and imklog truncated head of received message
    This happened only under some circumstances. Thanks to Marius
    Tomaschwesky, Florian Piekert and Milan Bartos for their help in solving this issue.
  • bugfix: imuxsock did not properly honor $LocalHostIPIF

Changelog for 7.1.12 (v7-beta)

Version 7.1.12  [beta] 2012-10-18

  • minor updates to better support newer systemd developments
    Thanks to Michael Biebl for the patches.
  • build system cleanup
    Thanks to Michael Biebl for the patch series.
  • cleanup: removed remains of -c option (compatibility mode) both from code & doc and emitted warning message if still used
    closes: http://bugzilla.adiscon.com/show_bug.cgi?id=361
    Thanks to Michael Biebl for reporting & suggestions
  • bugfix: imklog truncated head of received message
    This happened only under some circumstances. Thanks to Marius Tomaschwesky and Florian Piekert for their help in solving this issue.

Changelog for 7.1.11 (v7-beta)

Version 7.1.11  [beta] 2012-10-16

  • bugfix: imuxsock truncated head of received message
    This happened only under some circumstances. Thanks to Marius Tomaschwesky, Florian Piekert and Milan Bartos for their help in solving this issue.
  • bugfix: do not crash if set statement is used with date field
    Thanks to Miloslav Trmač for the patch.
  • change lumberjack cookie to “@cee:” from “@cee: ”
    CEE originally specified the cookie with SP, whereas other lumberjack tools used it without space. In order to keep interop with lumberjack, we now use the cookie without space as well. I hope this can be changed in CEE as well when it is released at a later time.
    Thanks to Miloslav Trmač for pointing this out and a similiar v7 patch.
  • added deprecated note to omruleset (plus clue to use “call”)
  • added deprecated note to discard action (plus clue to use “stop”)

Changelog for 7.1.10 (v7-beta)

Version 7.1.10 [beta] 2012-10-11

  • bugfix: m4 directory was not present in release tarball
  • bugfix: small memory leak with string-type templates
  • bugfix: small memory leak when template was specified in omfile
  • bugfix: some config processing warning messages were treated as errors
  • bugfix: small memory leak when processing action() statements
  • bugfix: unknown action() parameters were not reported

Changelog for 6.5.1 (v6-beta)

Version 6.5.1 [BETA] 2012-10-11

  • added tool “logctl” to handle lumberjack logs in MongoDB
  • imfile ported to new v6 config interface
  • imfile now supports config parameter for maximum number of submits
    which is a fine-tuning parameter in regard to input baching
  • added pure JSON output plugin parameter passing mode
  • ommongodb now supports templates
  • bugfix: imtcp could abort on exit due to invalid free()
  • bugfix: remove invalid socket option call from imuxsock
    Thanks to Cristian Ionescu-Idbohrn and Jonny Törnbom
  • bugfix: missing support for escape sequences in RainerScript
    only \’ was supported. Now the usual set is supported. Note that v5
    used \x as escape where x was any character (e.g. “\n” meant “n” and NOT
    LF). This also means there is some incompatibility to v5 for well-know
    sequences. Better break it now than later.
  • bugfix: small memory leaks in template() statements
    these were one-time memory leaks during startup, so they did NOT grow
    during runtime
  • bugfix: config validation run did not always return correct return state
  • bugfix: config errors did not always cause statement to fail
    This could lead to startup with invalid parameters.

Changelog for 7.3.0 (v7-devel)

Version 7.3.0 [devel] 2012-10-09

  • omlibdbi improvements, added
    • support for config load phases & module() parameters
    • support for default templates
    • driverdirectory is now cleanly a global parameter, but can no longer be specified as an action paramter. Note that in previous versions this parameter was ignored in all but the first action definition
  • improved omfile zip writer to increase compression This was achieved by somewhat reducing the robustness of the zip archive. This is controlled by the new action parameter “VeryReliableZip”.

Changelog for 7.1.8 (v7-beta)

Version 7.1.8  [beta] 2012-10-02

  • bugfix: ruleset(){} directive errornously changed default ruleset much like the $ruleset legacy conf statement. This potentially lead to statements being assigned to the wrong ruleset.
  • improved module doc
  • added “parser” parameter to ruleset(), so that parser chain can be configured
  • implemented “continue” RainerScript statement
