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

- 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
* Using libtool.
* fixes configure option for pidfile.
* tell sysconfigdir to configure.
* syslog2ng is using awk, add runtime dependency on awk and fix shebang.
* and let not to patch hard-coded uname path for NetBSD specific.
* VARBASE is used for various directory, set to BUILDE_DEFS.
* remove distractions from PLIST, libtoolized shlib files and an empty line.
PR pkg/45419
* fixes config file handling with CONF_FILES.
* require dbdir specified by --localstatedir.
Bump PKGREVISION.
Some key changes:
* configure.in: changed "source" to "." as the source command is a
bashism, changed a couple of double equal signs to single ones,
moved libol to the statically linked libs as AIX links to .a files
dynamically unless static linking is explicitly requested
* src/filters.c (do_filter_netmask): fixed negation for the
netmask() filter
* src/macros.c: added LEVEL_NUM and FACILITY_NUM macros
