------------------------------------------------------------------------------ PACKAGE : syslog-ng VERSION : 3.4.2 SUMMARY : new stable release DATE : Jun 3, 2013 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ DESCRIPTION: A new stable version of syslog-ng Open Source Edition (3.4.2) has been released. For latest fixes in the 3.4.x feature branch you are recommended to upgrade to this version. CHANGES: 3.4.2 Mon, 3 Jun 2013 16:00:00 +0100 This is the first bug-fix release for the 3.4.x series, collecting significant fixes over the 3.4.1 release. Upgrading to this release is highly recommended. Bugfixes ======== * loggen will bail out earily if using Unix sockets without a path specified. * Using the same filter for multiple destinations does not trigger a crash anymore. [#219] * An issue with log branch propagation has been fixed, restoring compatibility with the 3.3 branch (this mostly affected flags(final) use cases). [#220] * The systemd unit file now specified Restart=on-failure. [#222] * Support for empty blocks in the configuration were restored, syslog-ng does not crash anymore when encountering one. * An assertion was fixed in patterndb, that prevented one from overriding built-in values, such as HOST. [#225] * The persist state file (syslog-ng.persist) is now marked close-on-exec, so it does not leak through to forked subprocesses. * The system() source now treats /proc/kmsg as optional: if it is not readable to the user running syslog-ng, it will not be included. * Proper escape handling in backtick insertion has been implemented, so string arguments to block parameters are - again - treated correctly. [#235] * A rare race condition in the SQL, MongoDB, SMTP and AMQP destinations have been fixed. * A possible deadlock was fixed within the suppress() handling code. Credits ======= Attila M.
