Release date of syslog-ng Premium Edition 4.0: 2011Q1
-----------------------------------------------------

The current roadmap on syslog-ng Premium Edition listed the next stable
release (v4.0) for Q4 2010.

In order to satisfy customer requests, we will include further features in
syslog-ng Premium Edition 4.0, therefore decided to extend the timeframe of
the project until 31th January, 2011.

In addition to the new features already listed on the roadmap, syslog-ng
Premium Edition 4.0 will also:

   * support the Solaris 8, 9 and 10 operating systems on sparc64
   * offer significant performance improvements in the SQL destination by
     using explicit commits, instead of committing every INSERT statement
     automatically.

The complete list of features planned for syslog-ng Premium Edition 4.0 is
available at:

Further plans
-------------

Plans about versions beyond syslog-ng Premium Edition 4.1 are expected to be 
available by the end of 2010.
