Rework and clean up the package, split off various bindings
into separate packages. Add SMF support.
Major features and improvements introduced in major releases since 3.2.
3.7
- OpenSSL is now a required dependency for syslog-ng.
- Java-destination driver ported from syslog-ng-incubator.
- Python language support is ported from syslog-ng incubator.
- New Java destination drivers
- New Parsers
3.6
- PCRE is now a required dependency of syslog-ng.
- Threaded mode is now enabled by default.
3.5
- Multi-line support
- STOMP destination
- Redis destination
- Template type hinting
- Template options honored everywhere
- Support for unit suffixes in the configuration
- The Incubator project
3.4
- New plugins: AMQP & SMTP destinations, JSON parser.
- New parsers for patterndb: HOSTNAME, EMAIL, PCRE and LLADDR.
- It is now possible to control what db-parser() sees as its input
via it's new template() option.
- value-pairs() gained support for programmatically
rewriting key names in bulk, via the rekey() method.
- The network() driver is introduced, unifying and extending
tcp(), udp(), syslog(), unix-dgram() and
unix-stream(). The old drivers are still available, but
- Support for junctions & channels were added, which improve
the flexibility of the syslog-ng configuration language.
3.3
- multi-core/CPU scaling: the new multi-threaded architecture allows
syslog-ng to scale into the 800k msg/sec region.
- MongoDB support: using MongoDB instead of SQL is faster and
allows better representation of log data.
- JSON support: using the $(format-json) template function it is
now possible to construct JSON (JavaScript Object Notation)
output for log messages.
- A number of enhancements all over the place: SQL, patterndb.
- The default ports have changed. syslog-ng is using the standard
Delete the AuthenticationAuthority property prior to creating the null
password entry. This prevents the user from showing up in the login window
and fast user switching on newer Darwin releases.
Tools for flashing Rockchip ARM devices.
rkcrc sign files with CRC and KRNL or PARM header
rkflashtool read/write flash data and device info via libusb
rkmisc generate a "misc" partition
rkpad pad file to 512 byte blocks

rkunpack unpack "update.img" files
rnunsign remove KRNL/PARM header and crc footer
tested at this time.
Tools to help hacking Allwinner A10 (aka sun4i) based devices and possibly
it's successors, that's why the 'x' in the package name.
fexc:
`.fex` file (de)compiler
Usage: ./fexc [-vq] [-I <infmt>] [-O <outfmt>] [<input> [<output>]]
infmt: fex, bin (default:fex)
outfmt: fex, bin (default:bin)
bin2fex:
compatibility shortcut to call `fexc` to decompile an script.bin
blob back into `.fex` format used by allwinner's SDK to configure
the boards.
fex2bin:
compatiblity shortcut to call `fexc` to compile a `.fex` file into
the binary form used by the sun4i kernel.
fel:
script interface for talking to the FEL USB handler built in to
th CPU. You activate FEL mode by pushing the usboot/recovery
button at poweron. See http://linux-sunxi.org/FEL/USBBoot for
a detailed usage guide.
fel-gpio:
Simple wrapper around fel-pio and fel to allow GPIO manipulations
via FEL
fel-sdboot:
ARM native sdcard bootloader forcing the device into FEL mode
fel-pio:
ARM native helper for fel-gpio
pio:
Manipulate PIO register dumps
jtag-loop.sunxi:
ARM native boot helper to force the SD port into JTAG
and then stop, to ease debugging of bootloaders.
bootinfo:
Dump information from Allwinner boot files (boot0/boot1)
--type=sd include SD boot info
--type=nand include NAND boot info (not implemented)
phoenix_info:
gives information about a phoenix image created by the
phoenixcard utility and optionally extracts the embedded boot
code & firmware file from their hidden partitions.
builtin. Fix obvious logic error in libxl. Disable the use of global
register variables for clang. Lesser evil, HVM users should use newer
xentools or GCC.
Enhancements:
* Merged in lp:~m4ktub/duplicity/0.6-reliability
- Per fix proposed in Bug 1395341.
* Modded .bzrignore to ignore *.egg test dependencies, normalized, sorted.
* Backport fix for bug 1278529
- Use try/except around get_bucket() rather than bare lookup()
* Backport _librsyncmodule.c compilation bug
Increase the pkgsrc UID range to 300-499. We can no longer afford to avoid
conflicts with the 400-499 range used by Fink, as pkgsrc now has around 200
users and the previous range was insufficient for bulk builds.
Ideally there would be a way to use a temporary OpenDirectory database for
builds, as while a large range is required for full bulk builds and we're going
to hit even this additional limit soon, it's unlikely a user installation will
require the full range. However, finding a way to do this is proving elusive.
Version 1.1.2, 2015-07-20
- permit newline inside parser definition
- new parser "cisco-interface-spec"
- new parser "json" to process json parts of the message
- new parser "mac48" to process mac layer addresses
- new parser "name-value-list" (currently inofficial, experimental)
- some parsers did incorrectly report success when an error occurred
- call "rest" parser only if nothing else matches.
- new API to support error callbacks
- testbench is now enabled by default
- bugfix: misadressing on some constant values
- bugfix: add missing function prototypes
Version 8.13.0 [v8-stable] 2015-09-22
- ZeroMQ enhancements:
- Added the ability to set a static publishing topic per action as an
alternative to constructing topics with templates
- ZMQ_PUB socket now defaults to bind and ZMQ_SUB socket now defaults to
connect
- Redis enhancements:
- Can now LPUSH to a Redis list in "queue" mode
- Can now PUBLISH to a Redis channel in "publish" mode
- build requirement for rsyslog/mmnormalize is now liblognorm 1.1.2 or above
- mmnormalize: liblognorm error messages are now emitted via regular
rsyslog error reporting mechanism (aka "are now logged")
- add support for TCP client side keep-alives
- bugfix: imtcp/TLS hangs on dropped packets
- bugfix testbench: some tests using imptcp are run if module is disabled
- bugfix omkafka: Fixes a bug not accepting new messages anymore.
- bugfix: Parallel build issue "cannot find ../runtime/.libs/librsyslog.a:
No such file or directory" (#479) fixed.
- bugfix: Added missing mmpstructdata testfiles into makefile.
- bugfix: Reverted FIX for issue #392 as it had unexpected side effects.
- The new fix duplicates the Listener object for static files (like
done for dynamic files already), resolving issue #392 and #490.
- bugfix: issues in queue subsystem if syncqueuefiles was enabled
- Error 14 was generated on the .qi file directory handle.
As the .qi filestream does not have a directory set, fsync
was called on an empty directory causing a error 14 in debug log.
- When queue files existed on startup, the bSyncQueueFiles
strm property was not set to 1. This is now done in the
qqueueLoadPersStrmInfoFixup function.
- bugfix/testbench: tcpflood tool could abort when random data was added
- rscryutil: Added support to decrypt a not closed log file.

pkgsrc change: add pkg_alternatives support.
v3.0.3
Improvements
* #330 - fixed warnings on JRuby
v3.0.2
Bugfixes
* fix#328 - add missing require which crashed Listen on OSX (thanks to @noahsw for reporting)
v3.0.1
Bugfixes
* #325, #327 - fix regressions (allow Listen to run correctly without other
deps + properly handle pause())
v3.0.0
KNOWN ISSUES
* #319, #258 - TCP is no longer part of Listen, and there's currently no
alternative except downgrading to Listen 2.x
API CHANGES
* TCP functionality removed (Listen.on, Adapter::TCP,
Adapter::TCP::Broadcaster, etc.)
* Listener#start should be used instead of Listener#unpause
* Listener#directories is no longer available
* Listener#options is no longer available as public API
IMPROVEMENTS
* Major performance improvements (CPU), especially for Polling
* Celluloid is no longer required by Listen (which means: better performance,
less dependencies, less threads used, less version conflicts, easier
debugging, less potential issues/bugs)
* TCP is no longer part of Listen (which means: more maintainable codebase and
possibility to create much better TCP implementation without the tradeoffs)
Development
* major codebase rewrite
* better logging by default
Major changes in 0.12.10
========================
* Add VD_AGENT_CAP_MONITORS_CONFIG_POSITION to handle multi-monitor
configurations that are not multi-head
* Add protocol code generation scripts from spice-common
* Endianness and compiler portability fixes (clang)
