[syslog-ng]syslog-ng 1.6.6 released

[Balazs Scheidler]

Hi,

I have released syslog-ng 1.6.6 with the user-visible changes file
included at the end of this mail.

It has been slightly been changed since the last snapshot to make the
linking changes compatible with Solaris's linker. Otherwise the release
is identical.

Please note that I have changed GPG keys, this is signed with the new
one. The fact that the release was signed with this key might attach
some trust. My fingerprint is:

pub  1024D/ADCF4138 2004-11-10 Balazs Scheidler <bazsi@balabit.hu>

News for the 1.6.6 release
        Fri, 04 Feb 2005 13:06:22 +0100

        * Fixed timezone handling problem on platforms which require an
          explicit tzset() call.
        * Fixed resolving the PRI macro which always expanded to an empty
          string.
        * Fixed possible hang during reload for one second.
        * Fixed syslog2ng script which sometimes generated three dots when
          generating priority ranges. (debug...emerg)
        * Added a notification about splitting message lines, if they are
          over the configured log_msg_size() limit.
        * Added a setsid() call to program destinations to avoid being in
          the same process group as the child, as some shells send signals
          to the whole process group they are in, effectively killing
          syslog-ng. (triggered on OpenBSD for example)
        * Added log_fifo_size option to TCP/UDP destinations.
        * Added relogger.pl to contrib/ which replays existing syslog files.
        * Updated documentation (manpages and SGML documentation)
        * Link to various libraries residing in /usr statically by default,
          also added an --enable-full-static configure option to make a
          fully static version.

Happy logging,
