Hi, We are proud to announce that syslog-ng 3.7.0alpha1 is released. This is the first alpha release of the syslog-ng OSE 3.7 branch. Changes compared to the latest stable release (3.6.1): Features It is possible to create templates without braces. User defined template-function support added. User can define template functions in her/his configuration the same way she/he would define a template. $(format-cim) template function added into an SCL module. A new choice for inherit-properties implemented that will merge all name-value pairs into the new synthetic message, with the most recent being beferred over older values. Developer notes Added implementation for user-defined template functions. A new API added, user_template_function_register() that allows registering a LogTemplate instance as a template function, dynamically. Credits syslog-ng is developed as a community project, and as such it relies on volunteers, to do the work necessarily to produce syslog-ng. Reporting bugs, testing changes, writing code or simply providing feedback are all important contributions, so please if you are a user of syslog-ng, contribute.
