    fixes: http://bugzilla.adiscon.com/show_bug.cgi?id=226
    fixes: http://bugzilla.adiscon.com/show_bug.cgi?id=218

Changelog for 5.7.5

Version 5.7.5 [V5-BETA] (rgerhards), 2011-02-23

  • enhance: imfile did not yet support multiple rulesets, now added
    we do this directly in the beta because a) it does not affect existing
    functionality and b) one may argue that this missing functionality is
    close to a bug.
  • improved testbench, added tests for imuxsock
  • bugfix: imuxsock did no longer sanitize received messages
    This was a regression from the imuxsock partial rewrite. Happened
    because the message is no longer run through the standard parsers.

  • bugfix: minor race condition in action.c – considered cosmetic
    This is considered cosmetic as multiple threads tried to write exactly
    the same value into the same memory location without sync. The method
    has been changed so this can no longer happen.

Changelog for 6.1.4 (devel)

Version 6.1.4 [DEVEL] (rgerhards), 2011-02-18

  • bugfix/omhdfs: directive $OMHDFSFileName rendered unusable
    due to a search and replace-induced bug ;)
  • bugfix: minor race condition in action.c – considered cosmetic
    This is considered cosmetic as multiple threads tried to write exactly
    the same value into the same memory location without sync. The method
    has been changed so this can no longer happen.
  • added pmsnare parser module (written by David Lang)
  • enhanced imfile to support non-cancel input termination
  • improved systemd socket activation thanks to Marius Tomaschweski
  • improved error reporting for $WorkDirectory
    non-existance and other detectable problems are now reported,
    and the work directory is NOT set in this case
  • bugfix: pmsnare causded abort under some conditions
  • bugfix: abort if imfile reads file line of more than 64KiB
    Thanks to Peter Eisentraut for reporting and analysing this problem.
    bug tracker: http://bugzilla.adiscon.com/show_bug.cgi?id=221
  • bugfix: queue engine did not properly slow down inputs in FULL_DELAY mode
    when in disk-assisted mode. This especially affected imfile, which
    created unnecessarily queue files if a large set of input file data was
    to process.
  • bugfix: very long running actions could prevent shutdown under some
    circumstances. This has now been solved, at least for common
    situations.
  • bugfix: fixed compile problem due to empty structs
    this occured only on some platforms/compilers. thanks to Dražen Kačar
    for the fix
