Changelog for 6.3.10 (v6-beta)
Version 6.3.10 [BETA] 2012-06-04
- bugfix: delayble source could block action queue, even if there was disk queue associated with it. The root cause of this problem was that it makes no sense to delay messages once they arrive in the action queue – the “input” that is being held in that case is the main queue worker, what makes no sense.
Thanks to Marcin for alerting us on this problem and providing instructions to reproduce it. - bugfix: invalid free in imptcp could lead to abort during startup
- bugfix: if debug message could end up in log file when forking if rsyslog was set to auto-background (thus fork, the default) and debug mode to stdout was enabled, debug messages ended up in the first log file opened. Currently, stdout logging is completely disabled in forking mode (but writing to the debug log file is still possible). This is a change in behaviour, which is under review. If it causes problems to you, please let us know.
Thanks to Tomas Heinrich for the patch. - bugfix: –enable-smcustbindcdr configure directive did not work
closes: http://bugzilla.adiscon.com/show_bug.cgi?id=330
Thanks to Ultrabug for the patch. - bugfix: made rsyslog compile when libestr ist not installed in /usr
Thanks to Miloslav Trmač for providing patches and suggestions
rsyslog 6.3.9 (v6-beta) released
This is a new beta release vor the v6 branch. It is a follow-up to the current devel-branch. This release contains a lot of bugfixes and has some new features added like the capability to specify substrings for field extraction mode or the new property “jsonf”. More detailed information can be found in the changelog.
Since this is a new beta version, it would be nice to get some test results on the features and fixes from the userbase. Responses can be submitted via the mailing list.

Changelog for 6.3.9 (v6-beta)
Version 6.3.9 [BETA] 2012-05-22
- bugfix: imtcp could cause hang during reception this also applied to other users of core file tcpsrv.c, but imtcp was by far the most prominent and widely-used, the rest rather exotic (like imdiag)
- added capability to specify substrings for field extraction mode
- added the “jsonf” property replacer option (and fieldname)
- bugfix: omudpspoof did not work correctly if no spoof hostname was configured
- bugfix: property replacer option “json” could lead to content loss message was truncated if escaping was necessary
- 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/imuxsock: solving abort if hostname was not set; configured hostname was not used (both merge regressions)
- bugfix/omfile: template action parameter was not accepted (and template name set to “??” if the parameter was used)
Thanks to Brian Knox for alerting us on this bug. - 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:

Thanks to Marcin M for bringing up this problem and Andre Lorbach for helping to reproduce and fix it. - added capability to specify substrings for field extraction mode
- 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.
Changelog for 6.2.1 (v6-stable)
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
rsyslog 6.2.1 (v6-stable) released
This is a bug-fixing release. Updating is recommended for users of the v6-stable branch. New users please note that in order to build this release, libestr, libee and optionally liblognorm (for mmnormalize) is required.
As always, feedback is appreciated.
Best regards, Tim Eifler
rsyslog 6.3.8 (v6-devel) released
This is an important new release of the rsyslog v6 devel branch. Among others, it is the version that supports many of the new things done for project lumberjack, better cee-enhanced syslog support as well as a much-improved mongodb driver. The release also contains numerous other enhancements as well as bug-fixes. Please note that part of the feature set is still experimental and unstable in a sense that interfaces or similar thing “taken for granted” (e.g. the default MongoDB schema) may change in later releases.
As a preliminary measure, please make sure you are using the most current versions of libee (0.4.1), libestr (0.1.2) and liblognorm (0.3.4).
