rsyslog 8.1.2 (v8-devel) released

By Adiscon SupportPosted on Posted in News, Release AnnouncementTagged , , , , , ,

We have just released 8.1.2 of the v8-devel branch. This is primarily a maintenance release, but offers some improvements. Thanks to Pavel Levshin, mmnormalize now offers higher performance and we have added the ability to link directly to jemalloc. Also, usability of queue settings has been improved by using better (and dynamic) defaults for a range of settings.

Feedback is *very much* appreciated.
