Version 5.8.3 [V5-stable] (rgerhards), 2011-07-11
- systemd support: set stdout/stderr to null – thx to Lennart for the patch
- added support for the “:omusrmsg:” syntax in configuring user messages
- added support for the “:omfile:” syntax in configuring user messages
Note: previous outchannel syntax will generate a warning message. This
may be surprising to some users, but it is quite urgent to alert them
of the new syntax as v6 can no longer support the previous one.

- added support for the “:omusrmsg:” syntax in configuring user messages
- added support for the “:omfile:” syntax in configuring user messages

- bugfix: PRI was invalid on Solaris for message from local log socket
- bugfix: local hostname was pulled too-early, so that some config
directives (namely FQDN settings) did not have any effect - bugfix: atomic increment for msg object may not work correct on all
platforms. Thanks to Chris Metcalf for the patch - bugfix: a slightly more informative error message when a TCP
connections is aborted
rsyslog 6.3.2 (devel) released

Changelog for 6.3.2 (v6-devel)
Version 6.3.2 [DEVEL] (rgerhards), 2011-07-06
- added support for the “:omusrmsg:” syntax in configuring user messages
- systemd support: set stdout/stderr to null – thx to Lennart for the patch
- added support for obtaining timestamp for kernel message from message
If the kernel time-stamps messages, time is now take from that
timestamp instead of the system time when the message was read. This
provides much better accuracy. Thanks to Lennart Poettering for
suggesting this feature and his help during implementation. - added support for obtaining timestamp from system for imuxsock
This permits to read the time a message was submitted to the system
log socket. Most importantly, this is provided in microsecond resolution.
So we are able to obtain high precision timestampis even for messages
that were – as is usual – not formatted with them. This also simplifies
things in regard to local time calculation in chroot environments.
Many thanks to Lennart Poettering for suggesting this feature,
providing some guidance on implementing it and coordinating getting the
necessary support into the Linux kernel. - bugfix: timestamp was incorrectly calculated for timezones with minute
offset
closes: http://bugzilla.adiscon.com/show_bug.cgi?id=271 - bugfix: memory leak in imtcp & subsystems under some circumstances
This leak is tied to error conditions which lead to incorrect cleanup
of some data structures.
rsyslog 5.9.1 (devel) released
This release offers better systemd integration as well as better support for chrooted environments by supporting better timestamps in these environments. It also contains a number of important bug fixes.
Upgrading to this release is strongly recommended for users of the v5-devel branch.
Remeber that v5-devel receives mostly minor and/or very urgent improvements. The “real” development takes place in v6, which already offers features not found in v5.
