DESCRIPTION:

  A new stable version of syslog-ng Open Source Edition (3.3.5) has been
  released. For latest fixes in the 3.3.x feature branch you are recommended to
  upgrade to this version.

CHANGES:

3.3.5
	Sat, 07 Apr 2012 10:35:25 +0200


	Bugfixes:
	=========
	* Fixed a significant memory leak that occurred when the receiver
	  side of a syslog connection is slower than syslog-ng. The message
	  which we got EAGAIN for got leaked.

	* Fixed another memory leak that caused the complete queue for
	  socket based destination drivers to be leaked at reload time.

	* Fixed a memory leak related to handling TLS enabled connections.
	  As connections come and go the TLS context wasn't freed.

	* Fixed a small memory leak that occurred when worker threads exit
	  (and later start again).

	* Fixed a deadlock in the SQL destination that occurred when a
	  COMMIT TRANSACTION command failed.

	* Fixed an abort() which occurred when the retry timer of a
	  suspended destination fired.

	* Fixed a framing error in RFC5424 destinations.

	* MongoDB & SQL: fixed a race condition that caused mongodb/sql
	  destinations to hang.

	* Fixed handling the ENOBUFS error in udp() destinations on FreeBSD
	  and related/derived platforms. Previously ENOBUFS caused syslog-ng
	  to suspend the destination for time_reopen() (which defaults to 60
	  seconds), but that's excessive.  Reading the literature suggests
	  that there are three ways to handle an ENOBUFS: wait for some
	  undetermined amount of time until the interface buffers are
	  presumably emptied, or let the packet be dropped or go back to the
	  poll loop and hope that by the next time the event is dispatched
	  ENOBUFS will be gone. Right now, syslog-ng will drop the affected
	  packet, as the other two could cause other tasks to starve (wait
	  some time) OR syslog-ng to use 100% CPU.

	Other changes:
	==============

	* The XML sources for manual pages are now included in the source
	  tarball, along with a set of already built man pages to avoid
	  having to install XML related toolings to compile syslog-ng.  The
	  path to the stylesheets and the path to xsltproc is hard-coded in
	  the Makefiles right now (to the paths used by Ubuntu 11.10) In
	  case you want to change and rebuild manpages these need to be
	  adjusted.  Patches to autodetect the proper paths on any system
	  would be welcome.

	* Rewrite expressions report an error during the configuration
	  parsing phase instead of silently (ok with a warning :) falling
	  back to changing the MESSAGE macro.

	Credits:
	========
	syslog-ng is developed as a community project, and as such it relies
        on volunteers to do the work necessarily to produce syslog-ng.

        Reporting bugs, testing changes, writing code or simply providing
        feedback are all important contributions, so please if you are a
        user of syslog-ng, contribute.
