Changelog for 6.2.1 (v6-stable)

By adisconteamPosted on Posted in ChangelogTagged , , , , , , , , , ,

Version 6.2.1 [v6-stable], 2012-05-10

  • change plugin config interface to be compatible with pre-v6.2 system
    The functionality was already removed (because it is superseeded by the
    v6.3+ config language), but code was still present. I have now removed
    those parts that affect interface. Full removal will happen in v6.3, in
    order to limit potential regressions. However, it was considered useful
    enough to do the interface change in v6-stable; this also eases merging
    branches!
  • re-licensed larger parts of the codebase under the Apache license 2.0
  • bugfix: omprog made rsyslog abort on startup if not binary to
    execute was configured
  • bugfix: imklog invalidly computed facility and severity
    closes: http://bugzilla.adiscon.com/show_bug.cgi?id=313
  • bugfix: stopped DA queue was never processed after a restart due to a
    regression from statistics module
  • bugfix: memory leak in array passing output module mode
  • bugfix: ommysql did not properly init/exit the mysql runtime library
    this could lead to segfaults. Triggering condition: multiple action
    instances using ommysql. Thanks to Tomas Heinrich for reporting this
    problem and providing an initial patch (which my solution is based on,
    I need to add more code to clean the mess up).
  • bugfix: rsyslog did not terminate when delayable inputs were blocked
    due to unvailable sources. Fixes:
    http://bugzilla.adiscon.com/show_bug.cgi?id=299
    Thanks to Marcin M for bringing up this problem and Andre Lorbach
    for helping to reproduce and fix it.
  • bugfix/tcpflood: sending small test files did not work correctly

Version 5.8.11  [V5-stable] 2012-05-03

  • bugfix: ommysql did not properly init/exit the mysql runtime library this could lead to segfaults. Triggering condition: multiple action instances using ommysql.  Thanks to Tomas Heinrich for reporting this problem and providing an initial patch (which my solution is based on, I need to add more code to clean the mess up).
  • bugfix: rsyslog did not terminate when delayable inputs were blocked due to unvailable sources. Fixes:
    http://bugzilla.adiscon.com/show_bug.cgi?id=299
    Thanks to Marcin M for bringing up this problem and Andre Lorbach for helping to reproduce and fix it.
  • bugfix: active input in “light delay state” could block rsyslog termination, at least for prolonged period of time
  • bugfix: imptcp input name could not be set. Config directive was accepted, but had no effect
  • bugfix: assigned ruleset was lost when using disk queues
    This looked quite hard to diagnose for disk-assisted queues, as the pure memory part worked well, but ruleset info was lost for messages stored inside the disk queue.
  • bugfix: hostname was not requeried on HUP
    Thanks to Per Jessen for reporting this bug and Marius Tomaschewski for his help in testing the fix.
  • bugfix: inside queue.c, some thread cancel states were not correctly reset. While this is a bug, we assume it did have no practical effect because the reset as it was done was set to the state the code actually had at this point. But better fix this…

rsyslog 5.8.10 (v5-stable) released

By Adiscon SupportPosted on Posted in News, Release AnnouncementTagged , , , , , ,

This is primarily a bugfixing release. There were some segfaults in conjunction with $ActionQueueFileName and when the disk-queue was started with a old queue file. Our thanks go to Tomas Heinrich for the Patches. In addition there was a memory leak that has also been fixed.
