DESCRIPTION:

  A new stable version of syslog-ng Open Source Edition (3.6.0beta1) has been
  released. Being the first beta release, we would be very grateful for any
  feedback, to stabilize the release further.

CHANGES:

3.6.0beta1
	Wed,  3 Sep 2014 14:40:14 +0200

This is the first beta release of the upcoming syslog-ng OSE 3.6
branch. Compared to the alphas, this release contains a moderate
amount of new functionality and bugfixes. Further releases will focus
on stability and bugfixes.

Features
--------
* One can now use multiple elements in the `key()` and `exclude()`
  options of any value-pairs declaration.

* A new source driver was added to the syslog-ng: `systemd-journal()`,
  which reads from the Journal directly, not via the syslog forwarding
  socket. The `system()` source defaults to using this source when
  systemd is detected.

Bugfixes
--------

* All the various crypto-related template functions now check that the
  desired length of the digest is not larger than the digest itself.
  If a larger value is requested, they will truncate it to the digest
  length.

* The `$(geoip)` template function now works with `threaded(yes)` too.

* The unix domain socket credentials code was changed to only build on
  Linux and FreeBSD. With this change, syslog-ng should compile again
  on platforms where the OS does not support this, with the feature
  disabled.
