Version 8.27.0 [v8-stable] 2017-05-16
- imkafka: add module
- imptcp enhancements:
* optionally emit an error message if incoming messages are truncated
* optionally emit connection tracking message (on connection create and
close)
* add "maxFrameSize" parameter to specify the maximum size permitted
in octet-counted mode
* add parameter "discardTruncatedMsg" to permit truncation of
oversize messages
* improve octect-counted mode detection: if the octet count is larger
then the set frame size (or overly large in general), it is now
assumed that octet-stuffing mode is used. This probably solves a
number of issues seen in real deployments.
- imtcp enhancements:
* add parameter "discardTruncatedMsg" to permit truncation of
oversize messages
* add "maxFrameSize" parameter to specify the maximum size permitted
in octet-counted mode
- imfile bugfix: "file not found error" repeatedly being reported
for configured non-existing file.
- imfile: in inotify mode, add error message if configured file cannot
be found
- imfile: add parameter "fileNotFoundError" to optinally disable
"file not found" error messages
- core: replaced gethostbyname() with getaddrinfo() call
- omkafka: add "origin" field to stats output
- imuxsock: rate-limiting also uses process name
both for the actual limit procesing as well as warning messages emitted
- Added new module: KSI log signing ver. 1.2 (lmsig_ksi_ls12)
- rsylsog base functionality now builds on osx (Mac)
- build now works on solaris again
- imfile: fix cross-platform build issue
- bugfix core: segfault when no parser could parse message
- bugfix core: rate-limit internal messages when going to external log system
- bugfix core: when obtaining local hostname, a NULL pointer could be
accessed.
- bugfix core: on shutdown, stderr was written to, even if alrady closed
- bugfix core: perform MainqObj destruction only when not NULL already
- bugfix core: memory leak when internal messages not processed internally
- bugfix imptcp: potential overflow in octet count computation
when a very large octet count was specified, the counter could overflow
Version 8.22.0 [v8-stable] 2016-10-04
- ompgsql: add template support
Thanks to Radu Gheorghe for implementing this.
- generate somewhat better error message on config file syntax error
a common case (object at invalid location) has received it's own error
message; for the rest we still rely on the generic flex/bison handler
- bugfix:omhiredis reconnects after failure
previously it could loose messages under such conditions.
Thanks to Bob Gregory for the patch.
- general cleanup and code improvement
mostly guided by compiler warnings induced by newer opensuse builbot
environment

Version 8.21.0 [v8-stable] 2016-08-23
- CHANGE OF BEHAVIOUR:
by default, internal messages are no longer logged via the internal
bridge to rsyslog but via the syslog() API call [either directly or
via liblogging). For the typical single-rsyslogd-instance installation this
is mostly unnoticable (except for some additional latency). If multiple
instances are run, only the "main" (the one processing system log messages)
will see all messages. To return to the old behaviour, do either of those
two:
1) add in rsyslog.conf:
global(processInternalMessages="on")
2) export the environment variable RSYSLOG_DFLT_LOG_INTERNAL=1
This will set a new default - the value can still be overwritten via
rsyslog.conf (method 1). Note that the environment variable must be
set in your **startup script**.

- slightly improved TLS syslog error messages
- queue subsystem: improved robustness
The .qi file is now persisted whenever an existing queue file is fully
written and a new file is begun. This helps with rsyslog aborts, including
the common case where the OS issues kill -9 because of insufficiently
configured termination timout (this is an OS config error, but a frequent
one). Also, a situation where an orphaned empty file could be left in the
queue work directory has been fixed. We expect that this change causes
fewer permanent queue failures.
- bugfix: build failed on some platforms due to missing include files
