Changelog for 7.1.6 (v7-devel)
Version 7.1.6 [devel] 2012-09-28
- implemented RainerScript input() statement, including support for it in major input plugins
- implemented RainerScript ruleset() statement
Changelog for 7.1.5 (v7-devel)
Version 7.1.5 [devel] 2012-09-26
- implemented RainerScript prifield() function
- implemented RainerScript field() function
- added new module imkmsg to process structured kernel log
Thanks to Milan Bartos for contributing this module - implemented basic RainerScript optimizer, which will speed up script
operations - bugfix: invalid free if function re_match() was incorrectly used
if the config file parser detected that param 2 was not constant, some
data fields were not initialized. The destructor did not care about that.
This bug happened only if rsyslog startup was unclean.
Changelog for 6.4.2 (v6-stable)
Version 6.4.2 [V6-STABLE] 2012-09-20
- bugfix: potential abort, if action queue could not be properly started
This most importantly could happen due to configuration errors. - 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-known sequences. Better break it now than later. - bugfix: config validation run did not always return correct return state
Changelog for 7.1.4 (v7-devel)
Version 7.1.4 [devel] 2012-09-19
- implemented ability for CEE-based properties to be stored in disk queues
- implemented string concatenation in expressions via &-operator
- implemented json subtree copy in variable assignment
- implemented full JSON support for variable manipulation
- introduced “subtree”-type templates
- bugfix: omfile action did not respect “template” parameter
… and used default template in all cases - bugfix: MsgDup() did not copy CEE structure
This function was called at various places, most importantly during “last messages repeated n times” processing and omruleset. If CEE(JSON) data was present, it was lost as part of the copy process. - bugfix: debug output indicated improper queue type
Changelog for 7.1.3 (v7-devel)
Version 7.1.3 [devel] 2012-09-17
- introduced “set” and “unset” config statements
- 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: invalid property name in property-filter could cause abort if action chaining (& operator) was used

Thanks to pilou@gmx.com for the bug report
Changelog for 7.1.2 (v7-devel)
Version 7.1.2 [devel] 2012-09-12
- bugfix: messages were duplicated, sometimes massively regression from new code in 7.1.1 and reason for early release
- bugfix: remove invalid socket option call from imuxsock
Thanks to Cristian Ionescu-Idbohrn and Jonny Törnbom - bugfix: abort when invalid property name was configured in property-based filter
- bugfix: multiple rulesets did no longer work correctly (7.1.1 regression)
Changelog for 7.1.0 (v7-devel)
Version 7.1.0 [devel] 2012-09-06
- added support for hierarchical properties (CEE/lumberjack)
- added pure JSON output plugin parameter passing mode
- ommongodb now supports templates
- bugfix: imtcp could abort on exit due to invalid free()
- imported bugfixes from 6.4.1
Changelog for 6.5.0 (v6-devel)
Version 6.5.0 [devel] 2012-08-28
- imrelp now supports non-cancel thread termination
(but now requires at least librelp 1.0.1) - implemented freeCnf() module interface
This was actually not present in older versions, even though some modules already used it. The implementation was now done, and not in 6.3/6.4 because the resulting memory leak was ultra-slim and the new interface handling has some potential to seriously break things. Not the kind of thing you want to add in late beta state, if avoidable. - added –enable-debugless configure option for very high demanding envs
This actually at compile time disables a lot of debug code, resulting in some speedup (but serious loss of debugging capabilities) - added new 0mq plugins (via czmq lib)
Thanks to David Kelly for contributing these modules - bugfix: omhdfs did no longer compile
- bugfix: SystemLogSocketAnnotate did not work correctly
Thanks to Miloslav Trmač for the patch - $SystemLogParseTrusted config file option
Thanks to Milan Bartos for the patch - added template config directive
- added new uuid message property
Thanks to Jérôme Renard for the idea and patches.

Changelog for 5.10.0 (v5-stable)
Version 5.10.0 [V5-STABLE], 2012-08-23
NOTE: this is the new rsyslog v5-stable, incorporating all changes from the 5.9.x series. In addition to that, it contains the fixes and enhancements listed below in this entry.
- bugfix: delayble source could block action queue, even if there was a disk queue associated with it. The root cause of this problem was that it makes no sense to delay messages once they arrive in the action queue – the “input” that is being held in that case is the main queue worker, what makes no sense.
Thanks to Marcin for alerting us on this problem and providing instructions to reproduce it. - bugfix: disk queue was not persisted on shutdown, regression of fix to
http://bugzilla.adiscon.com/show_bug.cgi?id=299
The new code also handles the case of shutdown of blocking light and full delayable sources somewhat smarter and permits, assuming sufficient timouts, to persist message up to the max queue capacity. Also some nits in debug instrumentation have been fixed. - add small delay (50ms) after sending shutdown message
There seem to be cases where the shutdown message is otherwise not processed, not even on an idle system.
Thanks to Marcin for bringing this problem up. - support for resolving huge groups
closes: http://bugzilla.adiscon.com/show_bug.cgi?id=310
Thanks to Alec Warner for the patch - bugfix: potential hang due to mutex deadlock
closes: http://bugzilla.adiscon.com/show_bug.cgi?id=316
Thanks to Andreas Piesk for reporting&analyzing this bug as well as providing patches and other help in resolving it. - bugfix: property PROCID empty instead of proper nilvalue if not present
If it is not present, it must have the nilvalue “-” as of RFC5424
closes: http://bugzilla.adiscon.com/show_bug.cgi?id=332
Thanks to John N for reporting this issue. - bugfix: “last message repeated n times” message was missing hostname
Thanks to Zdenek Salvet for finding this bug and to Bodik for reporting - bugfix: multiple main queues with same queue file name was not detected
This lead to queue file corruption. While the root cause is a config error, it is a bug that this important and hard to find config error was not detected by rsyslog.

Incremented pthread stack size to 4MB for imtcp, imptcp and imttcp

- bugfix: problem with cutting first 16 characters from message with bAnnotate
Thanks to Milan Bartos for the patch.
