CHANGES: 4.0.1 Fri, 04 Feb 2011 10:20:55 +0100 WARNING Upgrading to syslog-ng Agent version 4.0.1 is supported only from syslog-ng Agent version 3.0.8 and 3.2.1. BUGFIXES Protocols * When using Legacy BSD Syslog Protocol, syslog-ng Agent for Windows replaced CRLF with 1 spaces in the $EVENT_MSG macro. Now, this has been corrected: the agent replaces CRLF with 2 spaces. Installer * The installer displays a warning if there is only the currently incompatible Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0 version present on the computer. The syslog-ng Agent for Windows requires the Microsoft .NET Framework version 2.0 or 3.0 or 3.5. * The executable (.exe) version of the syslog-ng Agent installer automatically executes the gpupdate command if the agent is installed on the host of a domain and domain configuration is used. Messages * MARK messages now have syslog(5) facility and info(6) severity. * Shut down and startup messages now have syslog(5) facility and notice(5) priority. Eventlog sources * In case of XML Eventlog messages, the agent cannot handle illegal unicode characters in the messages. Now, they are replaced with "_" in the messages. HOW TO UPGRADE WARNING Upgrading to syslog-ng Agent for Windows version 4.0.1 is supported only from syslog-ng Agent version 3.0.8 and 3.2.1. * When upgrading a machine running version 3.0.8 or 3.2.1 in standalone mode, run the .exe installer and verify that the displayed information is correct. * When upgrading a machine running version 3.0.8 or 3.2.1 in domain mode, follow the steps described in section 'Installing the syslog-ng Agent on the hosts of a domain' of the documentation. The system will automatically recognize that the new package will update the syslog-ng Agent for Windows package.
