Changelog for 6.1.1 (devel)

Version 6.1.1 [DEVEL] (rgerhards), 2010-11-30

  • bugfix(important): problem in TLS handling could cause rsyslog to loop in a tight loop, effectively disabling functionality and bearing the
    risk of unresponsiveness of the whole system.
    Bug tracker: http://bugzilla.adiscon.com/show_bug.cgi?id=194
  • support for omhdfs officially added (import from 5.7.1)
  • merged imuxsock improvements from 5.7.1 (see there)
  • support for systemd officially added (import from 5.7.0)
  • bugfix: a couple of problems that imfile had on some platforms, namely Ubuntu (not their fault, but occured there)
  • bugfix: imfile utilizes 32 bit to track offset. Most importantly, this problem can not experienced on Fedora 64 bit OS (which has
    64 bit long’s!)
  • a number of other bugfixes from older versions imported

Changelog for 5.7.2 (v5-devel)

Version 5.7.2  [V5-DEVEL] (rgerhards), 2010-11-26

  • bugfix(important): problem in TLS handling could cause rsyslog to loop in a tight loop, effectively disabling functionality and bearing the risk of unresponsiveness of the whole system.Bug tracker: http://bugzilla.adiscon.com/show_bug.cgi?id=194
  • bugfix: imfile state file was not written when relative file name for it was specified
  • bugfix: compile failed on systems without epoll_create1()Thanks to David Hill for providing a fix.
  • bugfix: atomic increment for msg object may not work correct on all platforms. Thanks to Chris Metcalf for the patch
  • bugfix: replacements for atomic operations for non-int sized types had problems. At least one instance of that problem could potentially lead to abort (inside omfile).

Changelog for 4.7.3 (v4-devel)

Version 4.7.3  [v4-devel] (rgerhards), 2010-11-25

  • bugfix(important): problem in TLS handling could cause rsyslog to loop
  • added omuxsock, which permits to write message to local Unix sockets this is the counterpart to imuxsock, enabling fast local forwarding
  • added imptcp, a simplified, Linux-specific and potentielly fast syslog plain tcp input plugin (NOT supporting TLS!)
  • bugfix: a couple of problems that imfile had on some platforms, namely Ubuntu (not their fault, but occured there)
  • bugfix: imfile utilizes 32 bit to track offset. Most importantly, this problem can not experienced on Fedora 64 bit OS (which has 64 bit long’s!)

    • $InputUnixListenSocketUsePIDFromSystem
    • $SystemLogUsePIDFromSystem
    • $SystemLogRateLimitInterval
    • $SystemLogRateLimitBurst
    • $SystemLogRateLimitSeverity
    • $IMUxSockRateLimitInterval
    • $IMUxSockRateLimitBurst
    • $IMUxSockRateLimitSeverity
  • imuxsock now supports up to 50 different sockets for input

  • bugfix: /dev/log was unlinked even when passed in from systemd in which case it should be preserved as systemd owns it
