------------------------------------------------------------------------------ PACKAGE : syslog-ng VERSION : 2.0.8 SUMMARY : new stable release DATE : Jan 31, 2008 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ DESCRIPTION: A new stable version of syslog-ng Open Source Edition (2.0.8) has been released. For latest fixes in the 2.0.x branch you are recommended to upgrade to this version. CHANGES: 2.0.8 Thu, 31 Jan 2008 12:38:21 +0100 Bugfixes: * Fixed a regression in 2.0.7 that caused destination files not to be reopened when syslog-ng was reloaded. This causes potential problems with log rotation. * Fixed DNS cache size checking, persistent DNS cache entries were also counted against dns_cache_size() which might decrease cache space significantly when a large /etc/hosts file is in use. * Fixed a bug that caused the persistent DNS cache (e.g. /etc/hosts) to be reloaded for all name resolution requests. Other changes: * Fixed sample configuration file for RedHat. * Some portability changes in loggen. * Added cygwin packaging files to contrib/cygwin-packaging.
