CHANGES:

3.4.4
        Thu, 17 Oct 2013 12:16:40 +0200

        This is the third bug-fix release for the 3.4.x series, with
        important fixes over the 3.4.3 release. Upgrading to this
        release is highly recommended.

        Bugfixes
        ========

        * Fixed the log message reference counting in the AMQP
          destination, thus stopping it from crashing.

        * Fixed a possible crash in the AMQP destination that could be
          triggered when the AMQP server was unreachable at the time
          of a syslog-ng reload or shutdown.

        * pdbtool no longer segfaults when used with the --module
          switch [#249]

        * pdbtool test exits with a return value of 2 if the test
          value matched a different pattern than expected. [#241]

        * The inherit-properties attribute was added to the patterndb
          XSD. [#251]

        * A memory corruption was fixed in the @STRING@ parser of
          db-parser(). [#254]

        * Corrected a mistake in the afsocket module that lead to
          crashes on reload when unix-stream or unix-dgram
          destinations were in use.

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

        * The program() source and destination now correctly kill the
          started child on reload and shutdown.

        * The file destination does not use lseek() anymore.

        * When setting default template options, all random memory
          junk is cleared from the object first.

        * The order of header include paths was fixed in the test
          suite, so it should compile cleanly even in the presence of
          potentially conflicting headers.

        Features
        ========

        * The $(format-json) template function, and anything else that
          may use the same value-pairs command line parser now allow
          specifying multiple scopes separated by commas (as opposed
          to having to use the --scope switch multiple times) [#248]
