------------------------------------------------------------------------------ PACKAGE : syslog-ng Premium Edition VERSION : 2.1.11 SUMMARY : new stable release DATE : May 28, 2008 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ DESCRIPTION: A new stable version of syslog-ng Premium Edition (2.1.11) has been released. For latest fixes in the 2.1.x branch you are recommended to upgrade to this version. CHANGES: 2.1.11 Tue, 27 May 2008 11:06:48 +0200 Bugfixes: * Fixed RPM packaging to create /var/lib/syslog-ng automatically. * Fixed a 100% CPU usage problem triggered by the pipe() destination. This is a regression in 2.1.10 and does not affect earlier versions. * Fixed hostname parsing for names that begin with numeric characters. * Proper handling of disk-full conditions (and any write-related errors); prior versions suspended writing to the failing destination until a SIGHUP was received. From now on syslog-ng reopens the given destination after time_reopen() seconds. * Fixed year recognition heuristics to properly handle timestamps that are slightly in the future at month changes. Earlier versions mistakenly recognized these timestamps as ones from the preceding year. Other changes: * Added support for specifying the name of the disk-spool directory on the syslog-ng command line. * The configuration file can use DOS-style CRLF line endings. * Added support for the BSDTAG macro. * The syslog-ng startup will not fail if the initial connection to the server fails; syslog-ng will try to reconnect later instead.
