DESCRIPTION:

  A new beta version of syslog-ng Open Source Edition (3.5.0beta3) has been
  released. Being a beta release, testing is most appreciated, but running
  it in production is not advised.

CHANGES:

3.5.0beta3
        Fri, 11 Oct 2013 10:21:38 +0200

        This is the third BETA release of the syslog-ng 3.5
        development branch, with stability fixes and other
        enhancements. While running in production is still not
        advised, testing is most appreciated.

        Incompatible changes
        ====================

        Template escaping
        -----------------

        Template escaping was changed in an incompatible way:
        previously, both the lexer and the template compiler used the
        '\' character for escaping, which was confusing. The template
        compiler uses '$$' to escape the '$' char, and '@@' to escape
        '@'.

        If a non-numeric value follows '@', a warning will be printed.

        Bugfixes
        ========

        * syslog-ng should compile again on non-Linux platforms.

        * The flush() and fsync() options of the file destination were
          fixed, and they should work the same way now as they do in
          3.3 and 3.4.

        * The hiredis library should be detected on the default
          include paths, so one does not necessarily need to specify
          --with-libhiredis non non-Debian systems. Said option was
          also made to work.

        * A memory corruption was fixed in the @STRING@ parser of
          db-parser().

        * Excludes now work properly with value-pairs(), and they do
          not get ignored if the value to exclude is in the default
          set.

        Known Bugs
        ==========

        * The afstreams module is broken, does not compile, and does
          not work. This will be corrected before the final 3.5.1
          release.
