ChangeLog for 4.3.0 (devel)

Version 4.3.0 [DEVEL] (rgerhards), 2009-04-17

• new feature: new output plugin omprog, which permits to start program and feed it (via its stdin) with syslog messages. If the program terminates, it is restarted.
• improved internal handling of RainerScript functions, building the necessary plumbing to support more functions with decent runtime performance. This is also necessary towards the long-term goal of loadable library modules.
• added new RainerScript function “tolower”
• improved testbench
  • added tests for tcp-based reception
  • added tcp-load test (1000 connections, 20,000 messages)
• added $MaxOpenFiles configuration directive
• bugfix: solved potential memory leak in msg processing, could manifest itself in imtcp
• bugfix: ompgsql did not detect problems in sql command execution this could cause loss of messages. The handling was correct if the connection broke, but not if there was a problem with statement execution. The most probable case for such a case would be invalid sql inside the template, and this is now much easier to diagnose.
