DESCRIPTION:

CHANGES:

3.5.3
        Tue, 24 Dec 2013 19:53:05 +0100

        This is the second bug-fix release for the 3.5.x series, with
        a number of important changes over the previous release.
        Upgrading to this version is highly recommended.

        Bugfixes
        ========

        * Node flag propagation has been fixed, so flags(final) works
          the same as it did in 3.3, when embedded log statements are
          used too.

        * Improvements were made to the build system, to make it more
          reliable when building in parallel.

        * Using the value-pairs() framework, either via the
          $(format-json) template function or any of the destinations
          that make use of it, will now correctly skip and ignore
          empty values, even in SDATA.

        * The configure script will correctly detect newer versions of
          json-c too, without compatibility symlinks being present.

        * A file descriptor and memory leak has been fixed in the
          syslog() destination.

        * The pdbtool program will warn in test mode when a test
          message has no program attribute. [BugZilla #263]

        * If the PID property is overwritten, syslog-ng will now stop
          using the cached MSGHDR value, and therefore, use the newly
          set PID instead, as it was supposed to.

        * The localport() option of various network destinations has
          been restored, and will work correctly now. [BugZilla #266]

        * The upstart service file in contrib has been updated to use
          a different process mode (background), as we do not need a
          supervisor when running under upstart. This also means that
          upstart will be far less confused.

        * Manual pages are now always included in the tarball.
