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: 2.0rc1 Sat, 08 Jul 2006 13:52:50 +0200 Some minor new features: * Added LEVEL_NUM and FACILITY_NUM macros. * Added optional() support for destination files to avoid flooding the log if a given destination cannot be opened. Bugfixes: * Fixed priority range filter evaluation. * Portability fixes for various OSs (Solaris, AIX and HP-UX) and architectures (64bit CPUs) * In the case of a broken connection don't reconnect immediately, 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. -- Bazsi
