rsyslog version numbering change

Rainer GerhardsNews, Top NewsNo Comments on rsyslog version numbering change

Rsyslog used a version number scheme of

8.<real-version>.0

where we incremented <real-version> every 6 weeks with each release. The 8 and 0 are constant (well, the 0 could change to 1 with a very important patch, but in practice we have only done this once).

While this scheme has worked pretty well since we introduced it, we often see people not understanding that there is really a big difference between 8.24 and e.g. 8.40. Followind recent trends in software versioning, we  will make more clear how old a version really is. Begining with today’s release, we change the version number slightly  to

8.yymm.0

where yy is the two-digit year and mm the two-digit month of the release date. We release every 6 weeks, so we will never have two releases within the same month.

So while you expected 8.41.0, you will now get 8.1901.0. To make things even more clear, rsyslog visible version output will be even more up to the point: rsyslog -v will now report “8.1901.0 (aka 2019.01)“.

Rainer Gerhards’ blog has more details on why we did this change and how we came to the new system.

RSyslog Windows Agent 5.1 Released

friedlNews, news-rwa, ,

Adiscon is proud to announce the 5.1 release of Rsyslog Windows Agent.

While this is a minor release, it offers considerable security
improvements for syslog. Now, when TLS/SSL is configured, the user has
full control over TLS options like ciphers, hashes and protocols.
There are GUI settings for the most common options, but also the
ability to provide in-depth detail configuration of each and every
aspect via TLS library specific strings. The insecure protocol list
has been updated and the SSLv2 protocol is now disabled by
default.

The RELP protocol has been upgraded to the newest version and now also
supports TLS/SSL.

The LogNorm Action has been hardened and supports / processes  Array types now

The property replacer has also been enhanced: it now supports the new
“cef” option to convert properties into a valid McAffee CEF FORMAT
string.

Full details are available via the version history.
Version 5.1 is a free download. Customers with existing 4.x keys can contact our Sales department for upgrade prices. If you have a valid Upgrade Insurance ID, you can request a free new key by sending your Upgrade Insurance ID to sales@adiscon.com.
