syslog-ng 3.4.1 has been released
by devel＠balabit.hu 31 Jan '13

31 Jan '13

------------------------------------------------------------------------------ PACKAGE : syslog-ng VERSION : 3.4.1 SUMMARY : new stable release DATE : Jan 31, 2013 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ DESCRIPTION: A new stable version of syslog-ng Open Source Edition (3.4.1) has been released. For latest fixes in the 3.4.x feature branch you are recommended to upgrade to this version. CHANGES: 3.4.1 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 11:00:00 +0100 This is the first stable release in the 3.4 series adding a number of features compared to 3.3, a culmination of more than a year's worth of development. Major features since 3.3 ======================== * New plugins: AMQP & SMTP destinations, JSON parser. See the following links for more details about them: http://git.io/mgF_sA (AMQP), http://git.io/Os9qpA (SMTP) and http://git.io/7MerYA (JSON parser) * New parsers for patterndb: HOSTNAME, EMAIL, PCRE and LLADDR. * It is now possible to control what db-parser() sees as its input via it's new template() option. (Defaults to $MESSAGE) See http://git.io/YZHPtg for more details. * value-pairs() gained support for programmatically rewriting key names in bulk, via the rekey() method. See http://git.io/VylQUg for more details. * The network() driver is introduced, unifying and extending tcp(), udp(), syslog(), unix-dgram() and unix-stream(). The old drivers are still available, but migrating over to network() is encouraged. See http://git.io/0Xjlhg for more details. * Support for junctions & channels were added, which improve the flexibility of the syslog-ng configuration language. This allows combining sources with their closely tied processing functionality (like parser, rewrite and filter statements). Read this blog post for more information: http://goo.gl/T8Txa In the final form of the functionality the "log" keyword as described in the blog post above was replaced with "channel". Changes since 3.4.0rc2: ======================= Bugfixes ======== * PatternDB allows a wider range of characters in a class value now. Newly allowed chars are: %, :, @, +, !, ^, / and \. * The fsync() and flush-lines() functionality was restored in the file() destination, both work as expected and correctly now. * The set() and subst() rewrite operations were fixed to work even when referenced from multiple places (and in a number of different corner-cases too). Credits: ======== syslog-ng is developed as a community project, and as such it relies on volunteers to do the work necessarily to produce syslog-ng.

17 Jan '13

------------------------------------------------------------------------------ PACKAGE : syslog-ng VERSION : 3.4.0rc2 SUMMARY : new stable release candidate DATE : Jan 17, 2013 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ DESCRIPTION: A new release candidate of syslog-ng Open Source Edition (3.4.0rc2) has been released. For latest fixes in the 3.4.x feature branch you are recommended to upgrade to this version. This release candidate is intended to become the new stable release by the end of the month. CHANGES: 3.4.0rc2 Wed, 17 Jan 2013 14:00:00 +0100 Features ======== * The dbparser() parser gained support for the template() option, which allows one to have more control (in an easy, and straightforward way) over what data the parser operates on. Bugfixes ======== * Building the AMQP destination can now be properly disabled. * The bundled ivykis was upgraded from the 0.30 stable branch to 0.36, for platform support and other improvements. * Fix the test suite when --with-embedded-crypto is in use. * The LLADDR parser was fixed, formerly it required the exact number of components to be present, and had parts and count values backwards.

syslog-ng 3.3.8 has been released
by devel＠balabit.hu 17 Jan '13

17 Jan '13

------------------------------------------------------------------------------ PACKAGE : syslog-ng VERSION : 3.3.8 SUMMARY : new stable release DATE : Jan 17, 2013 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ DESCRIPTION: A new stable version of syslog-ng Open Source Edition (3.3.8) has been released. For latest fixes in the 3.3.x stable branch you are recommended to upgrade to this version. CHANGES: 3.3.8 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 11:00:00 +0100 Highlights ========== This release is a bug-fix release, correcting a handful of issues discovered since the previous one. Bugfixes ======== * The system() source now works correctly accross all supported FreeBSD versions. * The patterndb loader was improved to handle certain semantic errors better: to report the error instead of crashing. * Fixed unsafe use of non-reentrant APIs to resolve IP addresses to names, which caused problems when threaded mode was enabled. [#212] * Support for systems lacking GLOB_NOMAGIC (like AIX) was restored. [#213] * The syslog() destination now forces IPv4, like all the other destinations, thus using it after udp6() would not result in syslog-ng trying to use IPv6 for syslog() aswell. [#61] * The bundled ivykis has been updated, fixing the following issues: * Certain Linux kernel & glibc combinations triggered a scenario that confused ivykis, leading to syslog-ng not starting up at all. Other changes ============= * It is now possible to build syslog-ng with crypto routines directly embedded into the main libsyslog-ng.so library, making libsyslog-ng-crypto.so unnecessary. This is useful in a few different cases, and can be enabled by passing the --with-embedded-crypto to the configure script. Credits ======= syslog-ng is developed as a community project, and as such it relies on volunteers to do the work necessarily to produce syslog-ng.

syslog-ng 3.4.0rc1 has been released
by devel＠balabit.hu 07 Jan '13

07 Jan '13

------------------------------------------------------------------------------ PACKAGE : syslog-ng VERSION : 3.4.0rc1 SUMMARY : new stable release candidate DATE : Jan 7, 2013 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ DESCRIPTION: A new release candidate of syslog-ng Open Source Edition (3.4.0rc1) has been released. For latest fixes in the 3.4.x feature branch you are recommended to upgrade to this version. CHANGES: 3.4.0rc1 Mon, 7 Jan 2013 16:00:00 +0100 Features ======== * Make it possible to link crypto stuff directly into libsyslog-ng, using the new --with-embedded-crypto option to configure. Bugfixes ======== * DNS resolving was made thread-safe, by either using getnameinfo() on platforms where it is available, or protecting the lookups with a mutex. * Restored support for systems that lack GLOB_NOMAGIC. * The syslog() destination now correctly enforces IPv4, so using udp6() followed by syslog() in the same source block will not result in syslog() trying to use IPv6. To use the syslog protocol over IPv6, use the new network() statement. * On AIX, load modules from "a" archives instead of "so" ones. * The config version checking mechanism was patched, which fixes a crash in certain cases when running under systemd. * The GeoIP module can now be built even on systems that do not have a pkg-config file for the geoip library, by setting the GEOIP_LIBS environment variable prior to running configure.
