News for the 1.6.11 release
Wed, 03 May 2006 13:08:38 +0200
* Using time_sleep() caused a parser error as a rule was missed from
the configuration parser.
* Scalability improvements applied in 1.6.10 broke reading
/proc/kmsg on Linux.
News for the 1.6.10 release
Mon, 27 Mar 2006 16:43:08 +0200
* Updated documentation, documentation is now generated from XML
instead of SGML.
* Scalability improvements for many parallel syslog connections
tunable using the time_sleep() global option.
News for the 1.6.9 release
Wed, 23 Nov 2005 09:52:30 +0100
* Fixed usertty destination, names in utmp records are not NUL
terminated. This might cause some logged in users not to be found.
* Fixed timezone calculation during daylight saving.
* Fixed a warning message in file destinations which indicated that
permissions would be changed even if no permission change was
requested.
* Added a workaround for lose-one-message when connection is broken.
* Owner and group information on files is set independently, so one can
work while the other fails, this fixes the behaviour when
syslog-ng is running as non-root and only the group information is
specified.
* Documentation updates.
* Updated bundled libol to 0.3.17
News for the 1.6.8 release
Thu, 26 May 2005 10:24:33 +0200
* Some configure tweaking to detect proper ld options dynamically on
Linux, Solaris and HP-UX. Other platforms might still have problems
with static linking.
* Some minor manpage fixes.
* Use use_fqdn() option when determining local hostname instead of
directly using the possibly short hostname returned by gethostname().
* Fixed a 64 bit compatibility issue when resolving hostnames.
News for the 1.6.7 release
Sat, 09 Apr 2005 12:46:51 +0200

triggered when a non-514 port was used.
* Added fedora-core specific packaging files.
News for the 1.6.6 release
Fri, 04 Feb 2005 13:06:22 +0100
* Fixed timezone handling problem on platforms which require an
explicit tzset() call.
* Fixed resolving the PRI macro which always expanded to an empty
string.
* Fixed possible hang during reload for one second.
* Fixed syslog2ng script which sometimes generated three dots when
generating priority ranges. (debug...emerg)
* Added a notification about splitting message lines, if they are
over the configured log_msg_size() limit.
* Added a setsid() call to program destinations to avoid being in
the same process group as the child, as some shells send signals
to the whole process group they are in, effectively killing
syslog-ng. (triggered on OpenBSD for example)
* Added log_fifo_size option to TCP/UDP destinations.
* Added relogger.pl to contrib/ which replays existing syslog files.
* Updated documentation (manpages and SGML documentation)
* Link to various libraries residing in /usr statically by default,
also added an --enable-full-static configure option to make a
fully static version.
News for the 1.6.5 release

same socket
* fixed afunix and afinet destination template handling, do not include
the PRI value automatically, let the administrator do it
explicitly in its template
* fixed possible segfault when the value of 0 is represented as a
string in port specications (e.g. remoteport, localport, port)
* added MSGONLY macro which expands to the message only without the
program name which sent the log message
* added global sanitize_filenames() option which changes control
characters in all filenames to '.', defaults to TRUE, this might
avoid escape sequence attacks embedded in filenames (imagine an
administrator doing an ls in a directory where filenames contain
any control characters)
* avoid using GNU extensions in strftime (more specificly the
timezone expansion in $ISODATE used %z which is not portable for
IRIX)
* added address spoofing support (use the original IP address when
resending messages, read the file README.spoof for more information)
* couple of IRIX specific patches were integrated
* updated documentation
News for the 1.6.2 release

News for the 1.5.10 release
Mon, 3 Sep 2001 18:47:48 +0200
The 1.5.9 version was released in a hurry, some features were not
fully completed, and an appropriate NEWS entry was not written. So
this one summarizes the changes both in 1.5.9 and 1.5.10:

series. Experimental patches are applied here.
News for the 1.4.10 release (11/27/2000)
We found a remote DoS attack in 1.4.8 which affects all versions
prior to 1.4.8. The bugfix release changed log parsing
behaviour, which created problems with Solaris and Cisco
logging hosts. 1.4.10 fixes these problems.

Fixed memory leak in destination files (occured if you had several
macro-expanded files)

use_time_recvd()if you want your date expansion macros to use
the received time, instead of the time
specified in the log message.
Updated documentation to include the changes above.

for various platforms.

AIX support added, HP-UX partially supported (untested))
* improved stability
You should be running this version if you want stability and
features. The 1.5.x development cycle is forked so expect
exciting new stuff in those releases.
News for the 1.4.0rc2 release
Changed the lexical scanner to be a bit more friendly wrt '..'. You
can now use debug..info instead of debug .. info.
Portability and other bugfixes (fixed Alpha, PPC problems).
Compiles on AIX.
News for the 1.3.15 release
Added the possibility to create directories on the fly. You'll need
