rsyslog 7.6.0 (v7-stable) released
This is the first release of rsyslog 7.6 in the v7-stable branch. Since 7.4 a lot of new functions have found their way into rsyslog. With 7.6 being the successor of the 7.5 development branch, everything that has been added there has now found its way into the stable version. The major additions consist of
- imrelp/omrelp now support TLS & (zip) compression
- impstats is now emitting resource usage counters, can directly emit delta values and can now be bound to a ruleset
- mmpstrucdata is a new module to parse RFC5424 structured data into JSON message properties
- mmutf8fix is a new module to fix invalid UTF-8 sequences
- mmsequence is a new module that helps with action load balancing
- new defaults for main/ruleset queues to be more enterprise-like
Also the new stable version has undergone a lot of bug fixes, performance improvements and optimizations that make rsyslog 7.6 a lot more reliable and performing than before. Also, requirements have changed a little. For rsyslog 7.6 you now require librelp 1.1.4 and libestr 0.1.7 due to major fixes.
More detailed information is available in the ChangeLog.

rsyslog 7.5.4 (v7-devel) released
This release offers some interesting features. It provides a new module called mmpstrucdata to parse RFC5424 structured data into json message properties. Also the default queue.size values have been altered to more suitable values. Omfwd and omfile received new parameters and we changed a bigger portion of the documentation to improve usability by linking relevant web ressources to quickly find additional information. Finally, there have been a few other changes and bugfixes.
More detailed information is available in the changelog.

Changelog for 7.5.4 (v7-devel)
Version 7.5.4 [devel] 2013-10-07
- mmpstrucdata: new module to parse RFC5424 structured data into json message properties
- change main/ruleset queue defaults to be more enterprise-like
new defaults are queue.size 100,000 max workers 2, worker activation after 40,000 msgs are queued, batch size 256. These settings are much more useful for enterprises and will not hurt low-end systems that much. This is part of our re-focus on enterprise needs. - omfwd: new action parameter “maxErrorMessages” added
- omfile: new module parameters to set action defaults added
* dirCreateMode
* fileCreateMode - mmutf8fix: new module to fix invalid UTF-8 sequences
- imuxsock: handle unlimited number of additional listen sockets
- doc: improve usability by linking to relevant web ressources
The idea is to enable users to quickly find additional information, samples, HOWTOs and the like on the main site. At the same time, (very) slightly remove memory footprint when few listeners are monitored. - bugfix: omfwd parameter streamdrivermmode was not properly handled
It was always overwritten by whatever value was set via the legacy directive $ActionSendStreamDriverMode - imtcp: add streamdriver.name module parameter
permits overriding the system default stream driver (gtls, ptcp) - bugfix: build system: libgcrypt.h needed even if libgrcypt was disabled
Thanks to Jonny Törnbom for reporting this problem - imported bugfixes from 7.4.4
