CHANGES:

3.4.1
        Thu, 31 Jan 2013 11:00:00 +0100

        This is the first stable release in the 3.4 series adding a number
        of features compared to 3.3, a culmination of more than a
        year's worth of development.

        Major features since 3.3
        ========================

          * New plugins: AMQP & SMTP destinations, JSON parser.

            See the following links for more details about them:

            http://git.io/mgF_sA (AMQP), http://git.io/Os9qpA (SMTP)
            and http://git.io/7MerYA (JSON parser)

          * New parsers for patterndb: HOSTNAME, EMAIL, PCRE and
            LLADDR.

          * It is now possible to control what db-parser() sees as its
            input via it's new template() option. (Defaults to
            $MESSAGE)

            See http://git.io/YZHPtg for more details.

          * value-pairs() gained support for programmatically
            rewriting key names in bulk, via the rekey() method.

            See http://git.io/VylQUg for more details.

          * The network() driver is introduced, unifying and extending
            tcp(), udp(), syslog(), unix-dgram() and
            unix-stream(). The old drivers are still available, but
            migrating over to network() is encouraged.

            See http://git.io/0Xjlhg for more details.

          * Support for junctions & channels were added, which improve
            the flexibility of the syslog-ng configuration
            language. This allows combining sources with their closely
            tied processing functionality (like parser, rewrite and
            filter statements). Read this blog post for more
            information:

            In the final form of the functionality the "log" keyword
            as described in the blog post above was replaced with
            "channel".

        Changes since 3.4.0rc2:
        =======================

        Bugfixes
        ========

        * PatternDB allows a wider range of characters in a class
          value now.

          Newly allowed chars are: %, :, @, +, !, ^, / and \.

        * The fsync() and flush-lines() functionality was restored in
          the file() destination, both work as expected and correctly
          now.

        * The set() and subst() rewrite operations were fixed to work
          even when referenced from multiple places (and in a number
          of different corner-cases too).

        Credits:
