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.

other fixes.

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

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.
