beta

Version 3.21.8 [BETA] (rgerhards), 2008-12-04

• security bugfix: $AllowedSender was not honored, all senders were
  permitted instead (see security advisory)

• bugfix: imklog did not compile on FreeBSD
• merged in all other changes from 3.20.1 (see there)

Version 3.21.9 [BETA] (rgerhards), 2008-12-04

• re-release of 3.21.8 with an additional fix, that could also lead
  to DoS; 3.21.8 has been removed from the official download archives

• security fix: imudp emitted a message when a non-permitted sender
  tried to send a message to it. This behaviour is operator-configurable.
  If enabled, a message was emitted each time. That way an attacker could
  effectively fill the disk via this facility. The message is now
  emitted only once in a minute (this currently is a hard-coded limit,
  if someone comes up with a good reason to make it configurable, we
  will probably do that).

Version 3.21.7 [BETA] (rgerhards), 2008-11-11

• this is the new beta branch, based on the former 3.21.6 devel
• new functionality: ZERO property replacer nomatch option (from v3-stable)

Version 3.19.12 [BETA] (rgerhards), 2008-10-16

• bugfix: subseconds where not correctly extracted from a timestamp
  if that timestamp did not contain any subsecond information (the
  resulting string was garbagge but should have been “0”, what it
  now is).

• increased maximum size of a configuration statement to 4K (was 1K)
• imported all fixes from the stable branch (quite a lot)

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.

Version 3.21.11 [BETA] (rgerhards), 2009-04-03

• all patches from 3.20.5 (v3-stable) have been incorporated, so please see the ChangeLog entry of the stable branch for more information
