ChangeLog for 3.19.11
Version 3.19.11 [BETA] (rgerhards), 2008-08-25
- This is a refresh of the beta. No beta-specific fixes have been added.
- included fixes from v3-stable (most importantly 3.18.3). Among
others, these are:- bugfix: imfile could cause a segfault upon rsyslogd HUP and termination
Thanks to lperr for an excellent bug report that helped detect this
problem. - enhanced ommysql to support custom port to connect to server
Port can be set via new $ActionOmmysqlServerPort config directive
Note: this was a very minor change and thus deemed appropriate to be
done in the stable release. - bugfix: misspelled config directive, previously was
$MainMsgQueueWorkeTimeoutrThreadShutdown, is now
$MainMsgQueueWorkerTimeoutThreadShutdown. Note that the misspelled
directive is not preserved – if the misspelled directive was used
(which I consider highly unlikely), the config file must be changed.
Thanks to lperr for reporting the bug. - disabled flow control for imuxsock, as it could cause system hangs
under some circumstances. The devel (3.21.3 and above) will
re-enable it and provide enhanced configurability to overcome the
problems if they occur.

ChangeLog for 3.21.3 (devel)
Version 3.21.3 [DEVEL] (rgerhards), 2008-08-13
- added ability to specify flow control mode for imuxsock
- added ability to execute actions only after the n-th call of the action
This also lead to the addition of two new config directives:
$ActionExecOnlyEveryNthTime and $ActionExecOnlyEveryNthTimeTimeout
This feature is useful, for example, for alerting: it permits you to
send an alert only after at least n occurences of a specific message
have been seen by rsyslogd. This protectes against false positives
due to waiting for additional confirmation. - bugfix: IPv6 addresses could not be specified in forwarding actions
New syntax @[addr]:port introduced to enable that. Root problem was IPv6
addresses contain colons. - somewhat enhanced debugging messages
- imported from 3.18.3:
- enhanced ommysql to support custom port to connect to server
Port can be set via new $ActionOmmysqlServerPort config directive
Note: this was a very minor change and thus deemed appropriate to be
done in the stable release. - bugfix: misspelled config directive, previously was
