rsyslog

This release adds an $InputRELPServerBindRuleset directive to specify rulesets for RELP. It fixes a bug which caused the configuration parser not to support properties with dashes in them inside property-based filters.

Potential misadressing in the property replacer was fixed. A memcpy overflow was fixed. This could occur in allowed sender checking if a name is resolved to an IPv4-mapped-on-IPv6 address. A MSGID corruption in the RFC5424 parser under some circumstances was fixed.

This release brings bugfixes and further improvements to the rule engine. Most importantly, the (scoped, RainerScript-based) action object is now available. This enables users to get some early experience with the new system's advanced features. Note that output plugins must support the new system. With this release, omfile and omusrmsg have been upgraded to support it.

This is a very important milestone release. It features the new configuration parser and thus provides the basis for a more intuitive configuration format. Some enhancements were already made to the format. More changes will come up with the next minor releases.

This release supports new enhancements in systemd and provides forward-compatibility patches.
