[rsyslog] rsyslog 5.1.3 (devel) released

[Tom Bergfeld]

Hi All,
We have just released rsyslog 5.1.3, a member of the v5-development branch.
This version offers a change in the architecture, queue now always has at
least one worker thread if not running in direct mode. Previous versions
could run without any active workers. This simplifies the code at a very
small expense. See v5 compatibility note document for more in-depth
discussion. There are also some bug fixes like a fix for a minor static
memory leak while reading configuration. Furthermore there is the ability
added to terminate input modules not via pthread_cancel but an alternate
approach via pthread_kill. This is somewhat safer as we do not need to think
about the cancel-safeness of all libraries we use. This is a recommended
update for all users of the devel branch.
