All releases of rsyslog

Changes: This version begins a new stable series based on the 5.3.x series, which has been proven rather well in practice. Most importantly, the previous 5.2.x stable series had some serious issues. This version contains fixes for all known problems. The main new feature is speed: several optimizations were done, including support for epoll in tcp listeners.

Changes: This is a bug fixing release. Most importantly, it fixes an issue with the build system that could potentially result in segfaults, especially on 32-bit machines.

Changes: This version brings all new features of 4.5.x to the stable releases. This includes bugfixes as well as many new features. Of special note are the ability to have output files automatically zipped, the ability to have multiple TCP listeners, and overall performance improvement.

Changes: This is a bug-fixing release, fixing all the issues that have been reported in the past weeks. This is scheduled to replace the current v4-stable and to conclude the v4 development efforts.

Changes: This release primarily provides bugfixes, but also offers enhanced functionality to escape 8-bit characters on reception.

Changes: This release contains fixes for a problem with named pipes and some other issues. No new functionality is included.

Changes: The primary new feature is that the epoll() interface is now supported for plain tcp syslog. This results in better performance and also removes the upper bound of connections in select() in a portable way. The select() interface is still supported for platforms that do not provide epoll(). There are also some important fixes.

Changes: This version begins a new development branch. The primary new functionality in this release is moving away reverse DNS resolution from the UDP receiver's input thread to backend processing, which should reduce UDP message loss.

Changes: Most importantly, a so-called "On Demand Debug" mode was added, in which debug output can be generated only after the process has started, but not right from the beginning. This is assumed to be useful for hard-to-find bugs. The documentation on the debug system was also improved.

Changes: This release is based on the last v5-devel version, with some bugfixes and enhancements. The enhancements provide slightly increased performance. This release is a very important milestone. Based on feedback from the v5-devel branches, it is in pretty good shape. The aim is to have a quick beta phase this time, taking the problems with the current v5-stable into account.
