------------------------------------------------------------------------------ PACKAGE : syslog-ng VERSION : 3.3.7 SUMMARY : new stable release DATE : Oct 30, 2012 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ DESCRIPTION: A new stable version of syslog-ng Open Source Edition (3.3.7) has been released. For latest fixes in the 3.3.x feature branch you are recommended to upgrade to this version. CHANGES: 3.3.7 Wed, 31 Oct 2012 10:00:00 +0200 Highlights ========== This release is a bug-fix release, correcting a handful of issues discovered after the previous version was tagged. Bugfixes ======== * The bundled ivykis has been updated, fixing the following issues: * Fixed a Solaris-specific issue relating to TCP sources [#190] * Fixed a spinlock issue, triggered on at least FreeBSD [#193] * Workaround an issue with kqueue() on /dev/klog [#201] * The file source was corrected to properly handle character devices. This, and the ivykis update fixes a CPU spinning issue on FreeBSD. [#201] * The sun-streams module had a file descriptor leak, which has been corrected too. [#151] * The glob-based configuration file inclusion was fixed to behave similarly to including a whole directory, to include files alphabetically. [#191] The @include mechanism was also updated to not fail silently, but report an error in certain cases (such as permission errors, or missing files in case of an explicit, non-glob include). [#209] * Fixed a crash when trying to display the available modules in debug mode. [#189] * Fixed the building of afsocket-notls, so that it is correctly built without TLS support. [#188] * Fix compilation without spoof-source. [#192] * Avoid a feedback loop when emitting debug (and trace) messages. [#208] * Various minor fixes around the build system. Features ======== * The stats will now list the filename of unix domain sockets.
