syslog-ng 3.3.2 has been released
by devel＠balabit.hu 14 Nov '11

14 Nov '11

------------------------------------------------------------------------------ PACKAGE : syslog-ng VERSION : 3.3.2 SUMMARY : new stable release DATE : Nov 13, 2011 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ DESCRIPTION: A new stable version of syslog-ng Open Source Edition (3.3.2) has been released. For latest fixes in the 3.3.x feature branch you are recommended to upgrade to this version. CHANGES: 3.3.2 Sat, 12 Nov 2011 20:48:53 +0100 Bugfixes: ========= * Fixed a segmentation fault on reload when using the same rewrite rule from multiple log paths. * Fixed a segmentation fault when processing a reload request in case an existing tcp() source is removed from the config and there are open connections. * Fixed a possible segmentation fault in the scalable queue implementation, which happens in case a destination is slower to process messages than syslog-ng would like to send them. * Fixed a possible file() destination issue that could cause syslog-ng to omit data or to write garbage to the log file in case the kernel reports that only a smaller portion of the actual write request could be accomplished. * Fixed an "internal error duplicate config element" error during reload due to an invalid bugfix applied for 3.3.1. Older beta versions of 3.3 were not affected. * Fixed a memory leak that causes macro based file destinations to leak their queue when destination files are closed due to time-reap(). * Fixed the handling of the condition() option for rewrite rules. * Fixed a race condition in value-pairs support, potentially causing heap corruption problems when $(format-json) is used in threaded mode. * Fixed a memory leak in value-pairs template function argument parsing, fixing a leak if $(format-json) is used. * Repeated definitions of source, destination, filter, rewrite, parser and block elements are not allowed by default anymore. These are reported as configuration errors unless @define allow-config-dups 1 is specified in the configuration file. * Fixed pdbtool error reporting in "pdbtool test" to make it easier to understand what went wrong. * Added an SQL connection health check in case an INSERT failed. This way syslog-ng handles SQL server timeouts better. * Fixed support for systemd socket activation. Previously such sockets were not set to non-blocking mode, causing syslog-ng to hang. * Fixed the filter() function in the filter expression to work also when used as a part of an AND or OR construct. * Allow the sql() destination to operate even without an indexes() option. That parameter was meant to be optional, but it wasn't. * Fixed compilation issues if no OpenSSL is present. * Fixed a minor memory leak in the usertty() driver that can increase memory usage on every reload. (The username() parameter wasn't properly freed on reload). * Fixed a minor memory leak in the sql() driver that can increase the memory usage on every reload (indexes() parameter wasn't properly freed on reload).
