<li style="box-sizing: border-box;">
<p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-top: 16px; margin-bottom: 16px;">added groupingby() parser that can perform simple correlation on<br style="box-sizing: border-box;">
log messages. In a way it is similar to the SQL GROUP BY operation, where<br style="box-sizing: border-box;">
an aggregate of a set of input records can be calculated.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;">
The major difference between SQL GROUP BY and groupingby() is that the<br style="box-sizing: border-box;">
first <em style="box-sizing: border-box;">always</em> operates on a enumerable list of records, whereas<br style="box-sizing: border-box;">
groupingby() works on a stream of data. <br style="box-sizing: border-box;">
A few use-cases where this can be useful:</p>
<ul style="box-sizing: border-box; padding-left: 2em; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;">

<p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-top: 16px; margin-bottom: 16px;">added create-context action<br style="box-sizing: border-box;">
<br style="box-sizing: border-box;">
Added a new possible action in the element, to create<br style="box-sizing: border-box;">
a new correlation context out of the current message and its associated<br style="box-sizing: border-box;">
context. This can be used to "split" a state.</p>
</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-top: 0.25em;">
<p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-top: 16px; margin-bottom: 16px;">Added NLSTRING parser that captures a string until the<br style="box-sizing: border-box;">
following end-of-line. It can be used in patterns as: @NLSTRING:value@<br style="box-sizing: border-box;">
It doesn't expect any additional parameters. This makes it pretty easy to<br style="box-sizing: border-box;">
parse multi-line Windows logs.</p>

<p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-top: 16px; margin-bottom: 16px;">install tools and scl under a syslog-ng specific subdirectory<br style="box-sizing: border-box;">
<br style="box-sizing: border-box;">
These should never be installed in /usr/share directly, but rather under a<br style="box-sizing: border-box;">
subdirectory and as described in<br style="box-sizing: border-box;">

we should do that right within the source and not rely on packaging tools<br style="box-sizing: border-box;">
to do it for us.This will trigger a required change in packaging scripts to<br style="box-sizing: border-box;">
avoid changing the --datadir, as the default of<br style="box-sizing: border-box;">
/usr/share should work out-of-the-box.</p>

<p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-top: 16px; margin-bottom: 16px;">Support for native-lanugage (compiled languages, like Rust) bindings.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;">
These bindings just forward the calls to the native side.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;">
<br style="box-sizing: border-box;">
This whole module compiles into a static library<br style="box-sizing: border-box;">
(libsyslog-ng-native-connector.a) which is linked to all external native<br style="box-sizing: border-box;">
modules. A native module defines the required functions<br style="box-sizing: border-box;">
(like native_parser_proxy_new()) so those symbols will be resolved.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;">
<br style="box-sizing: border-box;">
Some symbols have the visibility(hidden) attribute applied to them. Those<br style="box-sizing: border-box;">
symbols are defined by the other half of the native bindings, we only need<br style="box-sizing: border-box;">
their signature here. They are hidden because their definition is contained<br style="box-sizing: border-box;">
in other source files but we would like to keep them as "library private".<br style="box-sizing: border-box;">
If they are exported, the dynamic linker will resolve them when a module is<br style="box-sizing: border-box;">
loaded, therefore every module would be mapped to the first loaded one.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;">
It is best to hide everything in this native connector.</p>

<br style="box-sizing: border-box;">
Currently only the internal librabbitmq-c is supported,<br style="box-sizing: border-box;">
if we want to use the preexisting library, the configuration<br style="box-sizing: border-box;">
will fail.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;">
This change is required if we want to get rid of the<br style="box-sizing: border-box;">
internal libraries.</p>

syslog-ng is developed as a community project, and as such it relies<br style="box-sizing: border-box;">
on volunteers, to do the work necessarily to produce syslog-ng.</p>

Reporting bugs, testing changes, writing code or simply providing<br style="box-sizing: border-box;">
feedback are all important contributions, so please if you are a user<br style="box-sizing: border-box;">
