Changelog for 7.5.5 (v7-devel)
Version 7.5.5 [devel] 2013-10-16
- imfile: permit to monitor an unlimited number of files
- imptcp: add “defaultTZ” input parameter
- imudp: support for multiple receiver threads added
- imudp: add “dfltTZ” input config parameter
- bugfix: memory leak in mmnormalize
- bugfix: mmutf8fix did not properly handle invalid UTF-8 at END of message if the very last character sequence was too long, this was not detected
Thanks to Risto Vaarandi for reporting this problem. - 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.

Thanks to Muri Cicanor for initiating the discussion - now requires libestr 0.1.7 as early versions had a nasty bug in string comparisons
- 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
rsyslog 7.5.4 (v7-devel) released
This release offers some interesting features. It provides a new module called mmpstrucdata to parse RFC5424 structured data into json message properties. Also the default queue.size values have been altered to more suitable values. Omfwd and omfile received new parameters and we changed a bigger portion of the documentation to improve usability by linking relevant web ressources to quickly find additional information. Finally, there have been a few other changes and bugfixes.
More detailed information is available in the changelog.

Changelog for 7.5.4 (v7-devel)
Version 7.5.4 [devel] 2013-10-07
- mmpstrucdata: new module to parse RFC5424 structured data into json message properties
- change main/ruleset queue defaults to be more enterprise-like
new defaults are queue.size 100,000 max workers 2, worker activation after 40,000 msgs are queued, batch size 256. These settings are much more useful for enterprises and will not hurt low-end systems that much. This is part of our re-focus on enterprise needs. - omfwd: new action parameter “maxErrorMessages” added
- omfile: new module parameters to set action defaults added
* dirCreateMode
* fileCreateMode - mmutf8fix: new module to fix invalid UTF-8 sequences
- imuxsock: handle unlimited number of additional listen sockets
- doc: improve usability by linking to relevant web ressources
The idea is to enable users to quickly find additional information, samples, HOWTOs and the like on the main site. At the same time, (very) slightly remove memory footprint when few listeners are monitored. - bugfix: omfwd parameter streamdrivermmode was not properly handled
It was always overwritten by whatever value was set via the legacy directive $ActionSendStreamDriverMode - imtcp: add streamdriver.name module parameter
permits overriding the system default stream driver (gtls, ptcp) - bugfix: build system: libgcrypt.h needed even if libgrcypt was disabled
Thanks to Jonny Törnbom for reporting this problem - imported bugfixes from 7.4.4

rsyslog 7.5.3 (v7-devel) released
Note that the new imfile multi-line handling may cause a change of behaviour if you use it together with the input() config statement. For details, please see
http://blog.gerhards.net/2013/
Users of the rsyslog development branch are strongly encouraged to upgrade to the new version.

Changelog for 7.5.3 (v7-devel)
Version 7.5.3 [devel] 2013-09-11
- imfile: support for escaping LF characters added embedded LF in syslog messages cause a lot of trouble. imfile now has the capability to escape them to “#012″ (just like the regular control character escape option). This requires new-style input statements to be used. If legacy configuration statements are used, LF escaping is always turned off to preserve compatibility.
NOTE: if input() statements were already used, there is a CHANGE OF BEHAVIOUR: starting with this version, escaping is enabled by default. So if you do not want it, you need to add escapeLF=”off” to the input statement. Given the trouble LFs cause and the fact that the majority of installations still use legacy config, we considered this behaviour change acceptable and useful.
see also: http://blog.gerhards.net/2013/09/imfile-multi-line-messages. html - add support for global and local variables
- bugfix: queue file size was not correctly processed
this could lead to using one queue file per message for sizes >2GiB
Thanks to Tomas Heinrich for the patch. - add main_queue() configuration object to configure main message queue
- bugfix: stream compression in imptcp caused timestamp to be corrupted
- imudp: add ability to specify SO_RCVBUF size (rcvbufSize parameter)
- imudp: use inputname for statistics, if configured
- impstats: add process resource usage counters [via getrusage()]
- impstats: add paramter “resetCounters” to report delta values possible for most, but not all, counters. See doc for details.
- librelp 1.2.0 is now required
- make use of new librelp generic error reporting facility
This leads to more error messages being passed to the user and thus simplified troubleshooting. - bugfix: very small memory leak in imrelp
more or less cosmetic, a single memory block was not freed, but this only happens immediately before termination (when the OS automatically frees all memory). Still an annoyance e.g. in valgrind. - fix compile problem in debug build
- imported fixes from 7.4.4
