Changelog for 5.5.5 (devel)

Version 5.5.5 [DEVEL] (rgerhards), 2010-05-20

  • added new cancel-reduced action thread termination method
    We now manage to cancel threads that block inside a retry loop to terminate without the need to cancel the thread. Avoiding cancellation helps keep the system complexity minimal and thus provides for better stability.
    This also solves some issues with improper shutdown when inside an action retry loop.

rsyslog 5.5.5 (devel) released

Hi all,

We have just released rsyslog 5.5.5, a member of the devel branch. This is a bug-fixing release which contains a single fix that solves a potential hang condition on system shutdown when infinite action retries are configured for an asynchronous action using a queue in disk-assisted mode and the action was suspended. This is probably not a very common case, but a configuration recommended by our doc samples. If you do not use such a configuration, there is no need to update at this time. See Changelog for more details.

rsyslog 4.7.2 (v4-devel) released

Hi all,

We have just released rsyslog 4.7.2, a member of the v4-devel branch. 4.7.2 is a bugfixing-release. Its primary bugfix solves problems with atomic instruction emulation. Users who have compiled rsyslog for older CPUs (like Intel 386) or CPUs for which gcc lacks atomic instruction support (like Sparc) are strongly encouraged to upgrade to the new versions. For all others, an update is optional. See Changelog for more details.
