FEATURED NEWS


syslog-ng 3.3.4 is being prepared

---------------------------------

The release of 3.3.3 brought many new users to the latest syslog-ng 
version, which helped to uncover some more bugs in advanced 
configurations. Until a new release arrives, please check the git tree ( 
git://git.balabit.hu/bazsi/syslog-ng-3.3 ) and the mailing list 
archives, if your problem is addressed by a patch.


If working directly from git is problematic in your environment, a daily 
shapshot of 3.3 development is available at 
http://packages.madhouse-project.org/syslog-ng/3.3/syslog-ng-3.3-HEAD.tar.gz


Meet us at FOSDEM 2012 in Brussels!

-----------------------------------

There will be one or two presentations held by BalaBit guys this year. 
As schedule and rooms are not yet final, please check 
http://www.fosdem.org/ if you want to meet us or drop me an e-mail!

Version 3.4 of syslog-ng is under intensive development. One of the new
