## Features
- Support added for `if`/`elif`/`else` blocks to the configuration
file syntax.
- Dramatically improved debug messages during filter/parser
evaluation.
- Similarly improved the error messages shown on syntax errors, they
now show a full backtrace of inclusions, among other things.
- The `hook-commands` module was added, allowing one to run custom
commands on source or destination setup and teardown.
- Implemented a way to skip processing included config file snippets
in case a dependency is missing: The `@requires json` pragma.
- Basic client-side failover support was implemented.
- Errors from python destinations are now reported together with any
exception text (if any).
- `add-contextual-data` gained a new `ignore-case()` option.
## Bugfixes
- Fix a crash that happened on disk queue restart.
- Fixed another crash when a corrupted disk queue file was being moved
away.
- Fixed a crash that could happen during nvtable deserialization.
- Fixed a crash that occurred when NVTables were stored on low memory
addresses.
- Fixed an issue with TLS session resumption, the session id context
value is now properly set.
- We now link directly to the `evtlog` shipped with syslog-ng, and are
not using the system library, not even when present.
- TLS destinations now work again without `key-file` or `cert-file`
specified.
- SDATA block names are now sanitized, in order to not break the spec
when we get our SDATA from sources that are more lax (such as JSON).
- Some internal messages contained key-value pairs where the key had
spaces in it, this has been addressed, they do not contain spaces
anymore.
- The STOMP destination will now correctly use template options when
formatting its body part.

## Other changes
