------------------------------------------------------------------------------ PACKAGE : syslog-ng VERSION : 3.4.0rc1 SUMMARY : new stable release candidate DATE : Jan 7, 2013 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ DESCRIPTION: A new release candidate of syslog-ng Open Source Edition (3.4.0rc1) has been released. For latest fixes in the 3.4.x feature branch you are recommended to upgrade to this version. CHANGES: 3.4.0rc1 Mon, 7 Jan 2013 16:00:00 +0100 Features ======== * Make it possible to link crypto stuff directly into libsyslog-ng, using the new --with-embedded-crypto option to configure. Bugfixes ======== * DNS resolving was made thread-safe, by either using getnameinfo() on platforms where it is available, or protecting the lookups with a mutex. * Restored support for systems that lack GLOB_NOMAGIC. * The syslog() destination now correctly enforces IPv4, so using udp6() followed by syslog() in the same source block will not result in syslog() trying to use IPv6. To use the syslog protocol over IPv6, use the new network() statement. * On AIX, load modules from "a" archives instead of "so" ones. * The config version checking mechanism was patched, which fixes a crash in certain cases when running under systemd. * The GeoIP module can now be built even on systems that do not have a pkg-config file for the geoip library, by setting the GEOIP_LIBS environment variable prior to running configure. 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.
