We have just released 8.3.4 of the v8-devel branch. This is a somewhat unexpected new 8.3 devel version: thanks to some sponsor, we could work on providing better parsers for Cisco IOS devices as well as some improvements to the general date parser. As we want to integrate this into 8.4, we have decided to […]

A new rsyslog v8-stable is coming up soon. It will not just be the next iteration of 8.2, instead it will be a new feature release based on the current 8.3 devel. So be prepared to welcome 8.4. Frequent followers may wonder why 8.4 is ready. Originally, we planned to release it after the summer break. […]

We have just released 8.3.3 of the v8-devel branch. This provides the capability to automatically close files (including dynafiles) after some inactivity timeout. It also makes some of the more exotic modules build under v8, which now supports the same set of output modules as v7 did.

We have just released 8.2.2 of the v8-stable branch. This release allows to build the missing (contributed) modules under v8. Please note, that most of these modules did not yet receive real testing as we don’t have the necessary environments. We depend on users submitting error reports and helping out to iron out any issues […]

We have just released 8.3.2 of the v8-devel branch.

We have just released 8.2.1 of the v8-stable branch. This release permits to build against json-c 0.12. Due to the ABI breckage, this is necessary. Json-c versions prior to 0.12 had security issues, so this is desirable. At least some distros have fixed the security issue in older versions of json-c, so this seems to […]
