------------------------------------------------------------------------------ PACKAGE : syslog-ng VERSION : 3.5.0rc1 SUMMARY : new release candidate release DATE : Oct 24, 2013 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ DESCRIPTION: A new release candidate of syslog-ng Open Source Edition (3.5.0rc1) has been released. For latest fixes in the 3.5.x feature branch you are recommended to upgrade to this version. CHANGES: 3.5.0rc1 Thu, 24 Oct 2013 10:48:51 +0200 This is the first Release Candidate of the syslog-ng 3.5 development branch, with stability and reliability improvements. Being a release candidate, this release should be very close to production ready. Bugfixes ======== * The program() source and destination now properly terminates child processes on reload and shutdown. * The AMQP, SMTP, MongoDB, Redis and STOMP destinations now work correctly across reloads. * A rare race condition in the log message reference cache was corrected, fixing a crash. * The JSON parser now understands null-typed values, and ignores the whole key silently when it encounters one. * Using the subst() rewrite rule when the same source is present in multiple logpaths does not crash anymore. Miscellaneous ============= * The autogen.sh script is included in the distributed tarball. Known Bugs ========== * The afstreams module is broken, does not compile, and does not work. This will be corrected before the final 3.5.1 release.
