------------------------------------------------------------------------------ PACKAGE : syslog-ng VERSION : 3.4.5 SUMMARY : new stable release DATE : Nov 4, 2013 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ DESCRIPTION: A new stable version of syslog-ng Open Source Edition (3.4.5) has been released. For latest fixes in the 3.4.x feature branch you are recommended to upgrade to this version. CHANGES: 3.4.5 Mon, 4 Nov 2013 08:54:50 +0100 This is the fourth bug-fix release for the 3.4.x series, with important fixes over the 3.4.4 release. Upgrading to this release is highly recommended. Bugfixes ======== * A race condition in log message reference counting code that sometimes led to crashes was fixed. [#255] * An assertion that happened in certain situations when a subst() rewrite rule was used was fixed. [#256] * A use-after-free error that sometimes happened after a reload, and caused memory corruption was also fixed. [#253] * patterndb was corrected not to create a new instance on reload: this way, the old one is not leaked, and db-parser() does not forget the correlation state, nor its idea of current time on reload. [#257] * The syslog-ng.spec file does not try to install the long-removed ChangeLog file anymore. * A few harmless, but noisy compiler warnings have been eliminated. Features ======== * The JSON parser now understands NULL-typed keys, and ignores them.
