Dear syslog-ng users,
I'm proud to announce that syslog-ng 2.0rc1 has been released. The new
release is based on a completely rewritten code base, and aims to be a
drop-in replacement for syslog-ng 1.6.x.
Highlights over 1.6.x:
- Support for extended timestamps with year, timezone information and
subsecond granularity.
- Flow control support: enabling flow control end-to-end, on the whole
message path leaves TCP connection breaks the only source of message
loss.
- Better performance: various data structures and algorithms have been
optimized.
- IPv6 and multicast support.
- and more...
This release has already been tested in production environment, with
high performance demands.
Here is a list of user-visible changes since 1.9.11:

* Fixed priority range filter evaluation.
* Portability fixes for various OSs (Solaris, AIX and HP-UX) and

but wait some time specified by time_reopen() to match 1.6.x
behaviour.
* Fixed a reproducible segmentation fault in UNIX domain socket
destinations.
* Fixed dir_group() handling.
Other changes:
* Documentation updates.
