Hi,
As there are some changes since syslog-ng 1.6.5, I'd like to release a
new version. Before doing so I'd like to ask you to test the latest
snapshot a little bit. The most important and risky change seems to be
this one:
2005-01-20 Balazs Scheidler <bazsi@bzorp.balabit>
* src/main.c: fix possible log message losing during HUP as
syslog-ng was not accepting messages for 1 second and these
messages were dropped, processing changed so we still wait 1
second to flush buffers but also accept messages in this interval,
so the window of losing messages becomes much smaller. (fixes:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=282771)
Everything else is minor, and although they might cause build problems
on some platforms, I doubt they'd cause real problems.
The latest snapshot is here:
http://www.balabit.com/downloads/syslog-ng/1.6/src-snapshot/
The summary of changes can be found in the file named ChangeLog within
the tarball. If no show-stopper bugs are found, I'm going to release
syslog-ng 1.6.6 this week.
Thanks in advance.
