Changelog for 6.3.7 (v6-devel)

By Adiscon SupportPosted on Posted in ChangelogTagged , , , , , , , ,

Version 6.3.7  [DEVEL] 2012-02-02

  • imported refactored v5.9.6 imklog linux driver, now combined with BSD driver
  • removed imtemplate/omtemplate template modules, as this was waste of time
    The actual input/output modules are better copy templates. Instead, the now-removed modules cost time for maintenance AND often caused confusion on what their role was.
  • added  new stats objects
  • improved support for new v6 config system. The build-in output modules now all support the new config language
  • bugfix: facility local<x> was not correctly interpreted in legacy filters
    Was only accepted if it was the first PRI in a multi-filter PRI. Thanks to forum user Mark for bringing this to our attention.
  • bugfix: potential abort after reading invalid X.509 certificate
    closes: http://bugzilla.adiscon.com/show_bug.cgi?id=290
    Thanks to Tomas Heinrich for the patch
  • bufgix: legacy parsing of some filters did not work correctly
  • bugfix: rsyslog aborted during startup if there is an error in loading an action and legacy configuration mode is used
  • bugfix: bsd klog driver did no longer compile
  • relicensed larger parts of the code under Apache (ASL) 2.0

Changelog for 6.2.0 (v6-stable)

By Adiscon SupportPosted on Posted in ChangelogTagged , , , , ,

ChangeLog (from 6.1.12 to 6.2.0):

  • bugfix (kind of): removed numerical part from pri-text see v6 compatibility document for reasons
  • bugfix: race condition when extracting program name, APPNAME, structured data and PROCID (RFC5424 fields) could lead to invalid characters e.g. in dynamic file names or during forwarding (general malfunction of these fields in templates, mostly under heavy load)
  • bugfix: imuxsock did no longer ignore message-provided timestamp, if so configured (the *default*). Lead to no longer sub-second timestamps.
    closes: http://bugzilla.adiscon.com/show_bug.cgi?id=281
  • bugfix: omfile returns fatal error code for things that go really wrong previously, RS_RET_RESUME was returned, which lead to a loop inside the rule engine as omfile could not really recover.
  • bugfix: rsyslogd -v always said 64 atomics were not present
    thanks to mono_matsuko for the patch
  • bugfix: potential abort after reading invalid X.509 certificate closes:
    http://bugzilla.adiscon.com/show_bug.cgi?id=290
    Thanks to Tomas Heinrich for the patch
  • $Begin, $End, $StrictScoping directives have been removed as v6.4 will provide the same functionality in a far better way. So we do not want to clutter the code.
