  A new stable version of syslog-ng Open Source Edition (2.0.7) has been

CHANGES:

2.0.7
        Thu, 03 Jan 2008 07:01:59 +0100

        Bugfixes:
        * Fixed UNIX domain socket destinations on Solaris.
        * Fixed flow-control behaviour for follow-mode source files.
        * Added the "mark" keyword to be an alias of "mark_freq" for
          compatibility with syslog-ng 1.6.
        * Fixed message loss in destination files during configuration
          reloads if syslog-ng is heavily loaded.
        * Fixed a possible segmentation fault in the dns-cache-host() file
          parsing code for improperly formatted host files.
        * Fixed possible "Insufficient buffer space" errors in the STREAMS
          driver.
        * Fixed the starvation of the timer used to reap unused destination
          files, which could cause some files never to be closed under
          heavy load.
        * Fixed ISO timestamp parsing for timestamps that have no
          timezone information or have a too long fraction of a second
          portion.
        * Added a workaround for possible deadlocks on /proc/kmsg and
          user terminals.
        * Fixed program name parsing that caused problems for TAG values
          that include the '/' character. This problem was introduced by
          2.0.6.

        Other changes:
        * The fsync() option was implemented.
        * Added support for file sources that do not exist at startup.
        * Added support the "--persist-file" configuration option.
        * Added support for timestamps used by some LinkSys routers.
        * Added loggen tool to generate syslog messages at the specified
          rate.
