3.25.1
Highlights

  *   http-destination: Users now can specify the action for any HTTP result code.
Use with response-action(response_code => action) in your http block.
Available actions are: success, retry, drop and disconnect. (#3007<https://github.com/syslog-ng/syslog-ng/pull/3007>)
  *   syslog-ng-cfg-db: Added a new script, which can provide the options of
sources and destinations queried by the user. This tool can make the configuration
of syslog-ng a lot easier. Use with ./syslog-ng-cfg-db.py from the
contrib/config_database dir.(#2997<https://github.com/syslog-ng/syslog-ng/pull/2997>)
