Version 5.8.11  [V5-stable] 2012-05-03

  • bugfix: ommysql did not properly init/exit the mysql runtime library this could lead to segfaults. Triggering condition: multiple action instances using ommysql.  Thanks to Tomas Heinrich for reporting this problem and providing an initial patch (which my solution is based on, I need to add more code to clean the mess up).
  • bugfix: rsyslog did not terminate when delayable inputs were blocked due to unvailable sources. Fixes:
    http://bugzilla.adiscon.com/show_bug.cgi?id=299
    Thanks to Marcin M for bringing up this problem and Andre Lorbach for helping to reproduce and fix it.
  • bugfix: active input in “light delay state” could block rsyslog termination, at least for prolonged period of time
  • bugfix: imptcp input name could not be set. Config directive was accepted, but had no effect
  • bugfix: assigned ruleset was lost when using disk queues
    This looked quite hard to diagnose for disk-assisted queues, as the pure memory part worked well, but ruleset info was lost for messages stored inside the disk queue.
  • bugfix: hostname was not requeried on HUP
    Thanks to Per Jessen for reporting this bug and Marius Tomaschewski for his help in testing the fix.
  • bugfix: inside queue.c, some thread cancel states were not correctly reset. While this is a bug, we assume it did have no practical effect because the reset as it was done was set to the state the code actually had at this point. But better fix this…

Version 5.8.9 [V5-stable] 2012-03-15

Changelog for 5.9.5 (v5-devel)

By adisconteamPosted on Posted in ChangelogTagged , , , , ,

Version 5.9.5 [V5-DEVEL], 2012-01-27

  • improved impstats subsystem, added many new counters
  • enhanced module loader to not rely on PATH_MAX
  • refactored imklog linux driver, now combined with BSD driver
    The Linux driver no longer supports outdated kernel symbol resolution,
    which was disabled by default for very long. Also overall cleanup,
    resulting in much smaller code. Linux and BSD are now covered by a
    single small driver.
  • $IMUXSockRateLimitInterval DEFAULT CHANGED, was 5, now 0
    The new default turns off rate limiting. This was chosen as people
    experienced problems with rate-limiting activated by default. Now it
    needs an explicit opt-in by setting this parameter.
    Thanks to Chris Gaffney for suggesting to make it opt-in; thanks to
    many unnamed others who already had complained at the time Chris made
    the suggestion ;-)

Changelog for 5.8.7 (v5-stable)

By adisconteamPosted on Posted in ChangelogTagged , , ,

Version 5.8.7  [V5-stable] 2012-01-17

  • bugfix: instabilities when using RFC5424 header fields
    Thanks to Kaiwang Chen for the patch
  • bugfix: imuxsock did truncate part of received message if it did not contain a proper date. The truncation occured because we removed that part of the messages that was expected to be the date.
    closes: http://bugzilla.adiscon.com/show_bug.cgi?id=295
  • 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
  • bugfix: stats counter were not properly initialized on creation FQDN hostname for multihomed host was not always set to the correct name if multiple aliases existed. Thanks to Tomas Heinreich for the patch.

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.

Version 5.9.4 [V5-DEVEL], 2011-11-29

  • imuxsock: added capability to “annotate” messages with “trusted information”, which contains some properties obtained from the system and as such is sure to not be faked. This is inspired by the similiar idea introduced in systemd. removed dependency on gcrypt for recently-enough GnuTLS
    see: http://bugzilla.adiscon.com/show_bug.cgi?id=289
  • bugfix: imuxsock did no longer ignore message-provided timestamp, if so configured (the *default*). Lead to no longer sub-second timestamps.
