------------------------------------------------------------------------------ PACKAGE : syslog-ng VERSION : 3.5.0beta2 SUMMARY : new beta release DATE : Sep 27, 2013 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ DESCRIPTION: A new beta version of syslog-ng Open Source Edition (3.5.0beta2) has been released. Being a beta release, testing is most appreciated, but running it in production is not advised. CHANGES: 3.5.0beta2 Fri, 27 Sep 2013 10:06:52 +0200 This is the second BETA release of the syslog-ng 3.5 development branch, introducing new features and a handful of fixes since the last beta version. While running in production is still not advised, testing is most appreciated. Major Features ============== Redis destination ----------------- Developed during the Google Summer of Code 2013 program, this destination driver makes it possible to easily send commands to a Redis server. For further information and examples, please see the following blog post: http://tichygsoc.blogspot.hu/2013/09/the-road-so-far.html Template type hinting --------------------- In 3.5.0beta1, type hinting was implemented for the MongoDB destination, with this release, it is also available for the $(format-json) template function. Template options honored everywhere ----------------------------------- Until this release, there were situations where template options were ignored, such as filter expressions that use the comparsion operators, regexp based substitutions, incoming templates for parsers, the new value rewrite rules, SMTP values, some of the new drivers (stomp, amqp), and patterndb context-id. These all honor the global template options now, and per-driver options such as frac-digits and local-time-zone are available for drivers which did not have them before, like MongoDB. Bugfixes ======== * The AMQP destination has been fixed, and using it does not lead to a crash anymore. * Several memory leaks in the STOMP destination have been fixed. * The --no-framing option of loggen has been fixed, and works as advertised now. * The in-list() filter ignores empty lines in its input file, to avoid matching on empty values. * Compilation on FreeBSD has been fixed.
