The $TRANSPORT macro of syslog-ng
---------------------------------
Do you want to know how your log messages arrived to syslog-ng? The new $TRANSPORT macro provides you with part of the answer. It shows you the protocol variant for network sources, or the kind of local source used.

Rolling RPM platforms added to the syslog-ng package build system
-----------------------------------------------------
Syslog-ng uses a container-based system to generate the official source tgz and to build ready-to-use packages for various Linux distributions. Recently, we added support for some rolling RPM Linux distributions, allowing us to spot breaking changes before a stable release of the OS would become available.
