Message-ID: <577465F99B41C842AAFBE9ED71E70ABA2782F3@grfint2.intern.adiscon.com> Hi all, Peter Vrabec, the maintainer of the Fedora sysklogd package has created a RPM file for Red Hat. It includes a patch that integrates klogd into the rsyslog package. (klogd is installed under the name of rklogd). That removes rsyslog's dependency on the original sysklogd package - many thanks, Peter! The RPM can be found here: http://people.redhat.com/pvrabec/rpms/rsyslog-1.13.1-2.src.rpm I am now working on integrating this patch. I need to do some testing on the other Distros. I am positive a new release will be due soon. Peter also expressed some interest in working with us to get rsyslog better integrated into Red Hat. We appreciate that very much. As it looks, that will start another round of new features und functionality in rsyslog.

The main reason for release is addition of klogd, now making the rsyslog package a full replacement for sysklogd. There are other changes who facilitated the creation of a Red Hat RPM as well as one bug fix. Existing users do not need to update to the new release except, of course, when they would like to have the new functionality. The release notes are available at http://www.rsyslog.com/Article66.phtml To download it, please visit http://www.rsyslog.com/Downloads-req-getit-lid-31.phtml I hope this release is useful. Comments and suggestions are always welcome.

It fixes issues in rklogd, most importantly it allows klogd to resume logging after rsyslogd has been restarted. The update also removes a license incompatibility issue for file syslog.c. Users of 1.13.2 are strongly advised to update to the new release. For others, it is not really important. Please visit www.rsyslog.com for details and the download. Thanks, Rainer Gerhards PS: Please note that I plan to do another release next week.

The new release solves a bug in rklogd signal processing and provides new message properties. Most importantly, it supports recording syslog message priority with nearly no effort (there is also a tutorial on how to do that included). Users of 1.13.3 are advised to upgrade. All others need to upgrade only if they need the new functionality. The change log can be found at http://www.rsyslog.com/Article71.phtml Download it from http://www.rsyslog.com/Downloads-req-getit-lid-33.phtml I hope this release is useful. As always, feedback is appreciated.

Its goal is to find areas which need to be improved and/or which may be vulnerable to security issues. We are doing that review in an effort to get an as-clean-as-possible code base before we continue with adding new major features. The review focuses on rsyslogd and its helpers. klogd, recently being added from sysklogd package, is not yet in the prime focus (no changes are scheduled to it). To track action items, we use the sourceforge tracker items: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=123448 Anybody is welcome to participate in that review and add tracker items. Of course, feature requests are also very welcome.

The maximum number of tcp client sessions can now be set via the command line. Besides that, it is a cleanup release, which fixes a number of minor bugs. It is recommended to upgrade to that release. Change Log: http://www.rsyslog.com/Article74.phtml Download: http://www.rsyslog.com/Downloads-req-getit-lid-34.phtml I hope that new release is helpful. An outlook: Peter Vrabec has provided me a patch for IPv6 support. We are currently working together to fully integrate IPv6 into rsyslog and it looks very well. All the best, Rainer Gerhards From rgerhards at hq.adiscon.com Thu Jun 28 09:23:15 2007 From: rgerhards at hq.adiscon.com (Rainer Gerhards) Date: Thu, 28 Jun 2007 09:23:15 +0200 Subject: [rsyslog] rsyslog 1.14.0 released Message-ID: <577465F99B41C842AAFBE9ED71E70ABA278438@grfint2.intern.adiscon.com> Hi all, I am happy to announce that rsyslog 1.14.0 has been released today. Thanks to Peter Vrabec of Red Hat, this release now contains IPv6 support. Currently, IPv6 is only supported for UDP. There are also a few nits that need to be ironed out. However, the code is reasonably complete, so I decided to release it now. It is too good to stay hidden until IPv6 TCP is implemented. I would really appreciate any implementation reports, comments and such from IPv6 environments. I have very limited testing capabilities and so I am pretty much depending on the user base. IPv6 and removal of the nits will be focus of the upcoming next releases. If you run rsyslog on an important production box, I recommend waiting for the next release before you upgrade. Besides IPv6, there were some minor cleanups and a fix to the Red Hat init script - see changelog.

Peter Vrabec sent me a patch for TCP IPv6, so I have immediately integrated it. Thanks to Peter, IPv6 support is now complete in rsyslog. There are still some nits (which can be seen in the bug tracking system), but the implementation is pretty complete now. The nits will be addressed in the next days.
