DESCRIPTION:

  A new stable version of syslog-ng Open Source Edition (3.2.2) has been
  released. For latest fixes in the 3.2.x feature branch you are recommended to
  upgrade to this version.

CHANGES:

3.2.2
        Sat, 15 Jan 2011 13:50:35 +0100

        Bugfixes:
        * Fixed a possible segmentation fault when the port number is
          changed for a TCP source, the configuration is reloaded and there
          were open connections for the old port, which send messages after
          the SIGHUP. This behaviour has been broken since 3.0.1.
        * Fixed a possible security issue on FreeBSD and on
          platforms where mode_t is an unsigned 16 bit value. On these
          platforms syslog-ng may be using 0xFFFF as the permission bits
          causing log files to be world readable/writable/executable/setuid.
        * Fixed leaking the contents of internal() messages (such as MARK or
          the statistics message).
        * Fixed current time tracking when calculating the time in the
          correllation engine.
        * When the patterndb file got reloaded the correllation state was
          dropped. This behaviour was fixed.
        * Really ignore invalid persist-state files, which caused syslog-ng
          startup to fail previously.
        * Added the missing support for blocks inside log {} statements.
        * Fixed a configuration init error when the same db-parser()
          instance is referenced from multiple log paths.
        * Fixed handling the port() options for SQL destinations.

        Platform specific:
        * Added cygwin support to the system() source.

        Build related:
        * syslog-ng modules are now linked with "-module -no-undefined"
          parameters, pdbtool and unit tests are using -dlpreopen when
          explicitly linking against such modules.
        * The core patterndb functionality got split off to a separate
          library installed to $libdir to make it easier to be used by
          pdbtool.
        * Fixed support for an explicit --exec-prefix configure parameter.
          Earlier if exec_prefix was different from prefix, the installation
          layout produced unworkable binaries.
        * If no OpenSSL libraries are available, pdbtool patternize still
          can work, although in this case proper UUID generation is not
          possible.
        * If syslog-ng is compiled against an old glib (earlier than 2.13),
          it'll not use an API that is present in newer ones. Please note
          however that there might be other similar compatibility issues
          with old Glib versions.
        * Updated cygwin packaging files.
        * Don't use -wno-pointer-sign in dbparser if gcc doesn't support it.
          This will emit a lot of warnings, but still make the code possible
          to compile with older gcc versions.

        improvements requires effort, and this effort is really appreciated.

        Writing code, testing changes or simply providing use-cases and
        information on one's setup will make syslog-ng better.
