DESCRIPTION:

  A new stable version of syslog-ng Open Source Edition (2.0.8) has been
  released. For latest fixes in the 2.0.x branch you are recommended to
  upgrade to this version.

CHANGES:

2.0.8
        Thu, 31 Jan 2008 12:38:21 +0100

        Bugfixes:
        * Fixed a regression in 2.0.7 that caused destination files not to
          be reopened when syslog-ng was reloaded. This causes potential
          problems with log rotation.
        * Fixed DNS cache size checking, persistent DNS cache entries were
          also counted against dns_cache_size() which might decrease cache
          space significantly when a large /etc/hosts file is in use.
        * Fixed a bug that caused the persistent DNS cache (e.g. /etc/hosts)
          to be reloaded for all name resolution requests.

        Other changes:
        * Fixed sample configuration file for RedHat.
        * Some portability changes in loggen.
        * Added cygwin packaging files to contrib/cygwin-packaging.
