Changelog for 6.5.0 (v6-devel)

By Adiscon SupportPosted on Posted in ChangelogTagged , , , , , , , ,

Version 6.5.0  [devel] 2012-08-28

  • imrelp now supports non-cancel thread termination
    (but now requires at least librelp 1.0.1)
  • implemented freeCnf() module interface
    This was actually not present in older versions, even though some modules already used it. The implementation was now done, and not in 6.3/6.4 because the resulting memory leak was ultra-slim and the new interface handling has some potential to seriously break things. Not the kind of thing you want to add in late beta state, if avoidable.
  • added –enable-debugless configure option for very high demanding envs
    This actually at compile time disables a lot of debug code, resulting in some speedup (but serious loss of debugging capabilities)
  • added new 0mq plugins (via czmq lib)
    Thanks to David Kelly for contributing these modules
  • bugfix: omhdfs did no longer compile
  • bugfix: SystemLogSocketAnnotate did not work correctly
    Thanks to Miloslav Trmač for the patch
  • $SystemLogParseTrusted config file option
    Thanks to Milan Bartos for the patch
  • added template config directive
  • added new uuid message property
    Thanks to Jérôme Renard for the idea and patches.

Version 6.2.2  [v6-stable], 2012-06-13

  • build system improvements and spec file templates
    Thanks to Abby Edwards for providing these enhancements
  • bugfix: disk queue was not persisted on shutdown, regression of fix to
    http://bugzilla.adiscon.com/show_bug.cgi?id=299
    The new code also handles the case of shutdown of blocking light and full delayable sources somewhat smarter and permits, assuming sufficient timouts, to persist message up to the max queue capacity. Also some nits in debug instrumentation have been fixed.
  • bugfix: –enable-smcustbindcdr configure directive did not work
    closes: http://bugzilla.adiscon.com/show_bug.cgi?id=330
    Thanks to Ultrabug for the patch.
  • add small delay (50ms) after sending shutdown message. There seem to be cases where the shutdown message is otherwise not processed, not even on an idle system.
    Thanks to Marcin for bringing this problem up.
  • support for resolving huge groups
    closes: http://bugzilla.adiscon.com/show_bug.cgi?id=310
    Thanks to Alec Warner for the patch
  • bugfix: potential hang due to mutex deadlock
    closes: http://bugzilla.adiscon.com/show_bug.cgi?id=316
    Thanks to Andreas Piesk for reporting&analyzing this bug as well as providing patches and other help in resolving it.
  • bugfix: property PROCID empty instead of proper nilvalue if not present
    If it is not present, it must have the nilvalue “-” as of RFC5424
    closes: http://bugzilla.adiscon.com/show_bug.cgi?id=332
    Thanks to John N for reporting this issue.
  • bugfix: did not compile under solaris due to $uptime property code
    For the time being, $uptime is not supported on Solaris
  • bugfix: “last message repeated n times” message was missing hostname
    Thanks to Zdenek Salvet for finding this bug and to Bodik for reporting
