------------------------------------------------------------------------------ PACKAGE : syslog-ng Agent for Windows VERSION : 3.0.7 SUMMARY : new stable release DATE : Jan 26, 2010 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ DESCRIPTION: A new stable version of syslog-ng Agent for Windows (3.0.7) has been released. For latest fixes in the 3.0.x branch you are recommended to upgrade to this version. CHANGES: 3.0.7 Tue, 1 Dec 2009 10:20:55 +0100 Core: * The syslog-ng Agent for Windows application now adds the version number to its configuration stored in the registry. This will help to avoid problems during later upgrades to future versions, e.g., to 3.1. Upgrading to syslog-ng Agent version 3.1 will be supported only from syslog-ng Agent version 3.0.7. * In certain situations, the agent terminated unexpectedly if a large number of eventlog sources were registered on the client host. This has been corrected. * The GPO occasionally restarted the syslog-ng Agent if the address of a destination server was very long. This has been corrected. * It is possible to specify the Distinguished Name (DN) of the certificate to use for TLS-encrypted connections. So far it was possible to specify the Common Name (CN) only. Eventlog Sources: * In case an event container did not exist, the agent sent "Cannot format event log message" messages. Now the nonexistent event container is ignored, and a proper log message is sent to the Application container. File Sources: * Until now, the agent has opened text files in a mode that prevented the file from being deleted. Now the files can be deleted, but the deleting application must ensure that there are no unsent messages in the file to avoid losing messages. 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 package.
