syslog-ng 2.0.4 has been released
Dear syslog-ng users, A new stable version of syslog-ng has been released. The list of user-visible changes are summarized below. For more information, visit our just-updated website at http://www.balabit.com/products/syslog-ng/ 2.0.4 Mon, 14 May 2007 11:47:48 +0200 IMPORTANT NOTES: * This version of syslog-ng fixes a bug in enforcing the max-connections() limit for various stream-like sources (unix-stream and tcp). Previously this limit was not enforced, thus production environments may use an inadequate value. Validate your max-connection() settings before upgrading and check your logs for rejected connections. Bugfixes: * Fixed configuration parsing of the localport() and port() parameters. * Fixed template_escape() for non-ASCII characters. * Fixed facility() filter evaluation problems. * Fixed a possible segmentation fault during shutdown, when pending messages were still present in the destination queue of a flow-controlled destination. * Fixed sign of timezone when parsed from the configuration file. * Fixed counting the number of established connections, the value used when comparing against the max-connections() parameter. Features: * Added support for rotated source files. * Added support for perl-like regexp flags to make it possible to specify case-insensitive regular expressions. -- Bazsi
For anyone using my RHEL5 rpms.. I'm sorry to say that the upgrade procedure is a bit broken. I've mistakingly used the RPM %preun and %postun to stop syslog-ng and remove the selinux module. It turned out that these sections are run after upgrades too, not just for un-installs, so upgrading the rpm ended by running: /etc/rc.d/init.d/syslog-ng stop chkconfig --del syslog-ng semodule -l | grep -q syslog_ng && semodule --remove=syslog_ng So, for upgrading from syslog-ng-2.0.3 to syslog-ng-2.0.4 I'd recommend doing: rpm -ev syslog-ng rpm -ivh syslog-ng-2.0.4-3.el5.i386.rpm mv /etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf.rpmsave /etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf Instead of the normal "yum update" or "rpm -Uvh syslog-ng...". http://tanso.net/yum/repodata/repoview/syslog-ng-0-2.0.4-3.el5.html -jf
