------------------------------------------------------------------------------ PACKAGE : syslog-ng Agent for Windows VERSION : 3.0.6 SUMMARY : new stable release DATE : Nov 24, 2009 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ DESCRIPTION: A new stable version of syslog-ng Agent for Windows (3.0.6) has been released. For latest fixes in the 3.0.x branch you are recommended to upgrade to this version. CHANGES: Core: * The syslog-ng Agent for Windows application now supports the Windows 2008 R2 platform. * In certain situations, the agent skipped sending a few messages after the eventlog container was emptied. This has been corrected. * The logging of configuration updates when managing the agent from a Domain Controller. Setting the Software\\BalaBit\\syslog-ng Agent\\GpoDbgLog registry key to 1 produces detailed (debug) logs about the process, while setting the key to 2 produces a log file called syslog_gpext.txt. The log file will be created under C:\Windows\System32 or C:\Winnt\system32, depending on the platform. * The agent did not properly handle cases when dll-s referred by eventlog messages were not available. This has been corrected. HOW TO UPGRADE * When upgrading a machine running version 3.0.3 or later in standalone mode, run the .exe installer and verify that the displayed information is correct. * When upgrading a machine running version 3.0.3 or later 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 version 3.0.6 package.
