Version 6.1.1 [DEVEL] (rgerhards), 2010-11-30

  • bugfix(important): problem in TLS handling could cause rsyslog to loop in a tight loop, effectively disabling functionality and bearing the
    risk of unresponsiveness of the whole system.

  • support for omhdfs officially added (import from 5.7.1)

  • bugfix: a couple of problems that imfile had on some platforms, namely Ubuntu (not their fault, but occured there)

    64 bit long’s!)
  • a number of other bugfixes from older versions imported
