rsyslog 6.1.8 (beta) released

This release begins the first beta branch for the v6 branch of rsyslog.

Note that the 6.1.7 version, released roughly a month ago was not functionally enhanced since then. We already begun a new branch that will become 6.3.0. So technically, 6.1.7 can be considered beta as well.

As such, we expect a quicker than usual beta cycle for version 6.1.

This release imports some bug fixes done to older versions as well as some minor enhancements (not affecting stability). An update to this version is useful for users of the 6.1 versions, but if you experience no problems, it the update is not urgent.

Changelog for 5.7.7 (v5-beta)

Version 5.7.7  [V5-BETA] (rgerhards), 2011-03-02

  • bugfix: potential abort condition when $RepeatedMsgReduction set to on as well as potentially in a number of other places where MsgDup() was used. This only happened when the imudp input module was used and it depended on name resolution not yet had taken place. In other words, this was a strange problem that could lead to hard to diagnose instability. So if you experience instability, chances are good that this fix will help.
