Changelog for 7.6.0 (v7-stable)
Version 7.6.0 [v7.6-stable] 2014-01-??
This starts a new stable branch based on 7.5.8 plus the following changes:
- bugfix: imuxsock input parameters were not accepted due to copy&paste error.
Thanks to Andy Goldstein for the fix. - added ProcessInternalMessages global system parameter
This permits to inject rsyslog status messages into *another* main syslogd or the journal. - new dependency: liblogging-stdlog (for submitting to external logger)
- bugfix: json templates are improperly created
Strings miss the terminating NUL character, which obviously can lead to all sorts of problems.

Thanks to Alain for the analysis and the patch. - ompgsql bugfix: improper handling of auto-backgrounding mode
If rsyslog was set to auto-background itself (default code behaviour, but many distros now turn it off for good reason), ompgsql could not properly connect. This could even lead to a segfault. The core reason was that a PG session handle was kept open over a fork, something that is explicitely forbidden in the PG API.
Thanks to Alain for the analysis and the patch.
