About:
Rsyslog is an enhanced multi-threaded syslogd. Among others, it offers support for on-demand disk buffering, reliable syslog over TCP, SSL, TLS, and RELP, writing to databases (MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle, and many more), email alerting, fully configurable output formats (including high-precision timestamps), the ability to filter on any part of the syslog message, on-the-wire message compression, and the ability to convert text files to syslog. It is a drop-in replacement for stock syslogd and able to work with the same configuration file syntax.

Release focus: Minor bugfixes

Changes:
This version primarily fixes some problems with the build system. There were some files missing, which could result in some strange warnings. Also, some minor code cleanup to get rid of some compiler warnings is included. This version is highly recommended for all users of the development branch. Note, however, that it is still not suitable for use on production machines.
