Changelog for 7.4.7 (v7-stable)
Version 7.4.7 [v7.4-stable] 2013-12-10
- bugfix: limiting queue disk space did not work properly
- queue.maxdiskspace actually initializes queue.maxfilesize
- total size of queue files was not checked against queue.maxdiskspace for disk assisted queues.
Thanks to Karol Jurak for the patch.
- bugfix: linux kernel-like ratelimiter did not work properly with all inputs (for example, it did not work with imdup). The reason was that the PRI value was used, but that needed parsing of the message, which was done too late.
- bugfix: disk queues created files in wrong working directory if the $WorkDirectory was changed multiple times, all queues only used the last value set.
- bugfix: legacy directive $ActionQueueWorkerThreads was not honored
- bugfix: segfault on startup when certain script constructs are used
e.g. “if not $msg …” - bugfix: imuxsock: UseSysTimeStamp config parameter did not work correctly
Thanks to Tomas Heinrich for alerting us and provinding a solution suggestion. - bugfix: $SystemLogUseSysTimeStamp/$
SystemLogUsePIDFromSystem did not work
Thanks to Tomas Heinrich for the patch. - improved checking of queue config parameters on startup
- bugfix: call to ruleset with async queue did not use the queue
closes: http://bugzilla.adiscon.com/show_bug.cgi?id=443 - bugfix: if imtcp is loaded and no listeners are configured (which is uncommon), rsyslog crashes during shutdown.
rsyslog 7.5.7 (v7-devel) released
This is primarily a bug-fixing release, but offers some improvements in worker thread handling (thanks to Pavel Levshin!) as well as usability improvements when working changing queue sizes.
More detailed information is available in the changelog.

Changelog for 7.4.6 (v7-stable)
Version 7.4.6 [v7.4-stable] 2013-10-31
- bugfix: potential abort during HUP
This could happen when one of imklog, imzmq3, imkmsg, impstats,
imjournal, or imuxsock were under heavy load during a HUP.
closes: http://bugzilla.adiscon.com/show_bug.cgi?id=489
Thanks to Guy Rozendorn for reporting the problem and Peval Levhshin for
his analysis. - bugfix: imtcp flowControl parameter incorrectly defaulted to “off”
This could cause message loss on systems under heavy load and was
a change-of-behaviour to previous version. This is a regression
most probably introduced in 5.9.0 (but did not try hard to find the
exact point of its introduction). - now requires libestr 0.1.9 as earlier versions lead to problems with
number handling in RainerScript - bugfix: memory leak in strlen() RainerScript function
Thanks to Gregoire Seux for reportig this bug.
closes: http://bugzilla.adiscon.com/show_bug.cgi?id=486
- bugfix: buffer overrun if re_extract function was called for submatch 50
Thanks to Pavel Levshin for reporting the problem and its location. - bugfix: memleak in re_extract() function
Thanks to Pavel Levshin for reporting this problem. - bugfix: potential abort in RainerScript optimizer
closes: http://bugzilla.adiscon.com/show_bug.cgi?id=488
Thanks to Thomas Doll for reporting the problem and Pavel Levshin for
fixing it. - bugfix: memory leak in omhiredis
Thanks to Pavel Levshin for the fix - bugfix: segfault if variable was assigned to non-container subtree

Changelog for 7.5.6 (v7-devel)
Version 7.5.6 [devel] 2013-10-29
- improved performance of RainerScript variable access
by refactoring the whole body of variable handling code. This also
solves some of the anomalies experienced in some versions of rsyslog.
All variable types are now handled in unified code, including
access via templates. - RainerScript: make use of 64 bit for numbers where available
Thanks to Pavel Levshin for enhancement. - slight performance optimization if GCC is used
We give branch prediction hints for the frequent RETiRet macro which is
used for error handling. Some slight performance gain is to be expected
from that. - removed global variable support
The original idea was not well thought out and global variables, as
implemented, worked far different from what anybody would expect. As
such, we consider the current approach as an experiment that did not
work out and opt to removing it, clearing the way for a better future
solution. Note: global vars were introduced in 7.5.3 on Sept, 11th 2013. - new module mmsequence, primarily used for action load balancing
Thanks to Pavel Levshin for contributing this module. - bugfix: unset statement always worked on message var, even if local
var was given - bugfix: segfault if variable was assigned to non-container subtree
Thanks to Pavel Levshin for the fix - bugfix: imuxsock did not suport addtl sockets if syssock was disabled
Thanks to Pavel Levshin for the fix - bugfix: running imupd on multiple threads lead to segfault if recvmmsg
is available - bugfix: segfault if re_extract() function was used and no match found
- bugfix: omelasticsearch did not compile on platforms without atomic
instructions - bugfix: potential misadressing on startup if property-filter was used
This could happen if the property name was longer than 127 chars, a case
that would not happen in practice. - bugfix: invalid property filter was not properly disabled in ruleset
Note: the cosmetic memory leak introduced with that patch in 7.4.5 is
now also fixed.

Changelog for 7.4.5 (v7-stable)
Version 7.4.5 [v7.4-stable] 2013-10-22
- mmanon: removed the check for specific “terminator characters” after
last octet. As it turned out, this didn’t work in practice as there
was an enormous set of potential terminator chars — so removing
them was the best thing to do. Note that this may change behaviour of
existing installations. Yet, we still consider this an important
bugfix, that should be applied to the stable branch.
closes: http://bugzilla.adiscon.com/show_bug.cgi?id=477
Thanks to Muri Cicanor for initiating the discussion - now requires libestr 0.1.8 as early versions had a nasty bug in
string comparisons - omelasticsearch: add failed.httprequests stats counter
- bugfix: invalid property filter was not properly disabled in ruleset
Note that this bugfix introduces a very slight memory leak, which is
cosmetic, as it just holds data until termination that is no longer
needed. It is just the part of the config that was invalid. We will
“fix” this “issue” in the devel version first, as the fix is a bit
too intrusive to do without hard need in the stable version. - bugfix: segfault if re_extract() function was used and no match found
- bugfix: potential misadressing on startup if property-filter was used
This could happen if the property name was longer than 127 chars, a case
that would not happen in practice. - bugfix: omelasticsearch: correct failed.http stats counter
- bugfix: omelasticsearch: did not correctly initialize stats counters
- bugfix: omelasticsearch: failed.es counter was only maintained in bulk mode
This usually did not lead to any problems, because they are in static
memory, which is initialized to zero by the OS when the plugin is
loaded. But it may cause problems especially on systems that do not
support atomic instructions – in this case the associated mutexes also
did not get properly initialized. - bugfix: mmanon did not detect all IP addresses in rewrite mode
The problem occured if two IPs were close to each other and the first one
was shrunk.
closes: http://bugzilla.adiscon.com/show_bug.cgi?id=485
Thanks to micah-at-riseup.net for reporting this bug - bugfix: mmanon sometimes used invalid replacement char in simple mode
depending on configuration sequence, the replacement character was set
to ‘s’ instead of the correct value. Most importantly, it was set to
‘s’ if simple mode was selected and no replacement char set.
closes: http://bugzilla.adiscon.com/show_bug.cgi?id=484
Thanks to micah-at-riseup.net for reporting this bug - bugfix: memory leak in mmnormalize
- bugfix: array-based ==/!= comparisions lead to invalid results
This was a regression introduced in 7.3.5 bei the PRI optimizer - bugfix: omprog blocked signals to executed programs
The made it impossible to send signals to programs executed via
omprog.
Thanks to Risto Vaarandi for the analysis and a patch. - bugfix: doc: imuxsock legacy param $SystemLogSocketParseTrusted was
misspelled
Thanks to David Lang for alerting us - bugfix: imfile “facility” input parameter improperly handled
caused facility not to be set, and severity to be overwritten with
the facility value.
Thanks to forum user dmunny for reporting this bug. - bugfix: small memory leak in imfile when $ResetConfigVariables was used
Thanks to Grégory Nuyttens for reporting this bug and providig a fix - bugfix: segfault on startup if TLS was used but no CA cert set
- bugfix: segfault on startup if TCP TLS was used but no cert or key set
- bugfix: some more build problems with newer json-c versions
Thanks to Michael Biebl for mentioning the problem. - bugfix: build system: libgcrypt.h needed even if libgrcypt was disabled
Thanks to Jonny Törnbom for reporting this problem
