rsyslog 8.2.2 (v8-stable) released
We have just released 8.2.2 of the v8-stable branch.
This release allows to build the missing (contributed) modules under v8. Please note, that most of these modules did not yet receive real testing as we don’t have the necessary environments. We depend on users submitting error reports and helping out to iron out any issues that may arise.
Additionaly, the separated documentation is available as a tarball download on the download page.

Ubuntu Repository legacy
The Adiscon Ubuntu Repository has been setup to provide support for the latest rsyslog versions on Ubuntu including support for necessary third party packages. Please note that the Ubuntu Repository is open for testing at the moment, and contains the latest RSyslog version. Currently supported Ubuntu Versions:
- Ubuntu 14.04 (Trusty)

rsyslog 8.2.1 (v8-stable) released
We have just released 8.2.1 of the v8-stable branch.
This release permits to build against json-c 0.12. Due to the ABI breckage, this is necessary. Json-c versions prior to 0.12 had security issues, so this is desirable. At least some distros have fixed the security issue in older versions of json-c, so this seems to apply mostly when building from sources.
Additionaly, the doc is no longer shipped as part of the rsyslog tarball to allow de-coupled release cycles.

Introducing the rsyslog config builder tool
Wouldn’t it be great if we had an interactive tool that permitted it novices to build complex rsyslog configurations interactively? Without any need to understand the inner workings or even terminology? Indeed, that would not only be great, but in our opinion also remove a lot of pressure that we have on rsyslog’s documentation part.
In the light of this, we started to work on a tool called the “rsyslog configuration builder“. An initial preview goes life right now today and we invite everyone to play with it. The initial version is hopefully already useful for many cases. However, the primary intent is to gather community feedback, reactions and further suggestions.
The initial version has a restricted set of supported inputs and outputs, as well as other constructs. It works with rsyslog v7.6 and above. The tool can be used anonymously and configurations are kept during the session, with the session timeout being a couple of hours. So that should be a fair amount of time to build your config. For the future, we plan to permit saving the config when logged in into the site. That way, you can work multiple days on a single configuration.
We have many more enhancements on our mind, but first of all we would like to get your feedback. You can provide feedback any way you like, but we would be extremely happy if you post either to the rsyslog mailing list or create an issue in the rsyslog website’s github project.

rsyslog 7.6.3 (v7-stable) released
This release offers a couple of bug-fixes and also supports better interaction with librelp 1.2.5, which in turn supports anonymous TLS on platforms like CENTOS/RHEL 6 where GnuTLS is too old and RELP TLS was completely disable previously.
