Changelog for 7.1.11 (v7-beta)

Version 7.1.11  [beta] 2012-10-16

  • bugfix: imuxsock truncated head of received message
    This happened only under some circumstances. Thanks to Marius Tomaschwesky, Florian Piekert and Milan Bartos for their help in solving this issue.
  • bugfix: do not crash if set statement is used with date field
    Thanks to Miloslav Trmač for the patch.
  • change lumberjack cookie to “@cee:” from “@cee: ”
    CEE originally specified the cookie with SP, whereas other lumberjack tools used it without space. In order to keep interop with lumberjack, we now use the cookie without space as well. I hope this can be changed in CEE as well when it is released at a later time.
    Thanks to Miloslav Trmač for pointing this out and a similiar v7 patch.
  • added deprecated note to omruleset (plus clue to use “call”)
  • added deprecated note to discard action (plus clue to use “stop”)

  • bugfix: small memory leak with string-type templates
  • bugfix: small memory leak when template was specified in omfile
  • bugfix: some config processing warning messages were treated as errors
  • bugfix: small memory leak when processing action() statements
  • bugfix: unknown action() parameters were not reported

Changelog for 6.5.1 (v6-beta)

Version 6.5.1 [BETA] 2012-10-11

  • added tool “logctl” to handle lumberjack logs in MongoDB
  • imfile ported to new v6 config interface
  • imfile now supports config parameter for maximum number of submits
    which is a fine-tuning parameter in regard to input baching
  • added pure JSON output plugin parameter passing mode
  • ommongodb now supports templates
  • bugfix: imtcp could abort on exit due to invalid free()
  • bugfix: remove invalid socket option call from imuxsock
    Thanks to Cristian Ionescu-Idbohrn and Jonny Törnbom
  • bugfix: missing support for escape sequences in RainerScript
    only \’ was supported. Now the usual set is supported. Note that v5
    used \x as escape where x was any character (e.g. “\n” meant “n” and NOT
    LF). This also means there is some incompatibility to v5 for well-know
    sequences. Better break it now than later.
  • bugfix: small memory leaks in template() statements
    these were one-time memory leaks during startup, so they did NOT grow
    during runtime
  • bugfix: config validation run did not always return correct return state
  • bugfix: config errors did not always cause statement to fail
    This could lead to startup with invalid parameters.

rsyslog 6.5.1 (v6-beta) released

This is the new v6-beta, which includes the full v6-subset of the new config language as well as somewhat improved support for lumberjack/CEE. This version concludes development efforts for v6.

Note that it is recommended to use v7 if you do not have any special need for v6.
