[syslog-ng] syslog-ng 3.7.0alpha1 is released

[Czanik, Péter]

Hi,

We are proud to announce that syslog-ng 3.7.0alpha1 is released.

This is the first alpha release of the syslog-ng OSE 3.7
branch.

Changes compared to the latest stable release (3.6.1):

Features

It is possible to create templates without braces.

User defined template-function support added.
User can define template functions in her/his configuration the same
way she/he would define a template.

$(format-cim) template function added into an SCL module.

A new choice for inherit-properties implemented that will merge
all name-value pairs into the new synthetic message, with the most recent
being beferred over older values.

Developer notes

Added implementation for user-defined template functions. A new API
added, user_template_function_register() that allows registering a
LogTemplate instance as a template function, dynamically.

Credits

on volunteers, to do the work necessarily to produce syslog-ng.
