rsyslog 5.9.7 (v5-beta) released
This is primarily a bug-fixing release. It also introduces the ability to extract substrings from within property fields. This is a recommended update for all users of the v5-beta branch. It will probably turn into the next v5-stable soon, so everyone is encouraged to give this version a try in order to iron out any remaining bugs.

rsyslog 6.3.8 (v6-devel) released
This is an important new release of the rsyslog v6 devel branch. Among others, it is the version that supports many of the new things done for project lumberjack, better cee-enhanced syslog support as well as a much-improved mongodb driver. The release also contains numerous other enhancements as well as bug-fixes. Please note that part of the feature set is still experimental and unstable in a sense that interfaces or similar thing “taken for granted” (e.g. the default MongoDB schema) may change in later releases.
As a preliminary measure, please make sure you are using the most current versions of libee (0.4.1), libestr (0.1.2) and liblognorm (0.3.4).

rsyslog 5.9.6 (v5-beta) released
This is the first beta version of the 5.9 rsyslog branch. It primarily contains bug fixes and some enhancements over 5.9.5. Most important ones are support for inotify in imfile as well as additional statistics counters. Note that 5.9.5 was made available in January 2012 and did not receive many bug reports. So we plan to put 5.9.6 on an expedited beta track, which hopefully will lead soon to a new v5-stable. As such, testing and feedback is most appreciated.

rsyslog 5.8.10 (v5-stable) released
This is primarily a bugfixing release. There were some segfaults in conjunction with $ActionQueueFileName and when the disk-queue was started with a old queue file. Our thanks go to Tomas Heinrich for the Patches. In addition there was a memory leak that has also been fixed.

rsyslog 5.8.9 (v5-stable) released
This is primarily a maintenance release. It also provides a new tool that permits the recovery of disk queues, when the queue information file (.qi) has been lost. Thanks to Kaiwang Chen for contributing this tool.
There was an important flaw in 5.8.8 that caused disk queue content to be lost after a shutdown and restart of rsyslogd. So if you run this version, an upgrade to 5.8.9 is highly suggested.

Rsyslog Windows Agent Released
The rsyslog Windows agent enables customers to integrate Windows Event Logs into their central rsyslog-based logging system. Even more, it supports acting as a syslog relay as well. This enables small branch offices only runnig Windows to provide local syslog sources to the central server as well.
We have released the first full-featured version of this product today. It is based on Adiscon’s mature suite of Windows-to-syslog tools. Most importantly, it provides the ability to fully extract Windows Event Log data, including local resolution of user IDs, SIDs, GUIDs and similiar objects. It not only supports the current Windows Event Log format but also the legacy (pre Windows-2008/Vista) event log system. The technology behind this tool is already in use at thousands of customer sites for many years (in the form of, for example, EventReporter and other Adiscon products).
The rsyslog Agent for Windows has been highly optimized for use with rsyslog at the back end. For example, it supports mutually-authenticated, TLS encrypted syslog as well as the RELP protocol for reliable delivery. Also, it provides an initial implementation of cee-enhanced syslog, and is the world’s first-ever solution to do so (details can be found in the configuration guide for cee-enhanced syslog).
By purchasing rsyslog Agent for Windows customers not only get first class event log integration, they also help fund further improving the rsyslog solution as whole. The package even contains limited rsyslog professional services.
A trial version can be downloaded from the rsyslog Windows agent page.
rsyslog 5.8.8 (v5-stable) released
This is a bug-fixing release. It fixes the wrong computed facility and severity in imklog and a problem with rsyslog aborting on startup if no binary to execute was configured for omprog.
