CHANGES:

3.5.2
        Fri, 29 Nov 2013 17:09:40 +0100

        This is the first bug-fix release for the 3.5.x series, with a
        number of significant fixes over the original 3.5.1 release.
        Upgrading to this release is highly recommended.

        Bugfixes
        ========

        * The system() source has been fixed on Solaris and HP-UX: it
          correctly recognises the system on Solaris, and uses
          /dev/log (and not /dev/pipe) on HP-UX.

        * The system() source has much stricter requirements to select
          /dev/kmsg on Linux, so it won't choose it over /proc/kmsg
          unless the kernel really does support it.

        * The syslog-format() module has been fixed to only set the
          PROGRAM to "kernel" if all of the previous conditions apply,
          and the message is a local message.

        * The linux-kmsg-format parser (and system() on Linux 3.5+ as
          a consequence) will correctly calculate the timestamp of
          kernel messages on 32-bit systems now.

        * The sun-streams() source has been fixed, it compiles and
          works again.

        * A very rare and short race condition has been fixed in the
          pipe() source and destination modules, which could leave the
          pipe available with elevated permissions for a short time.

        * The SQL, MongoDB and SMTP modules were fixed to not cause a
          segmentation fault when loaded before the socket module.

        * A crash was fixed in the no-tls build of the socket
          destination driver.

        * It is now possible to specify the host() and port()
          parameters for the redis() destination.

        * Various stability fixes, such as:
          - A use-after-free condition was corrected in the queue
            backlog acknowledgement code.
          - Always use setsid() when detaching, even if we're not
            detaching from a TTY.
          - Memory leaks were fixed in the persist state handling
            code.
          - Changing stats-level() and reloading syslog-ng produced a
            crash, which has been fixed.
