ChangeLog for 3.22.1 (v3-stable)

Version 3.22.1 [v3-stable] (rgerhards), 2009-07-02

bugfix: invalid error message issued if $inlcudeConfig was on an empty set of files (e.g. *.conf, where none such files existed) thanks to Michael Biebl for reporting this bug
bugfix: when run in foreground (but not in debug mode), a debug message (“DoDie called”) was emitted at shutdown. Removed. thanks to Michael Biebl for reporting this bug
bugfix: some garbagge was emitted to stderr on shutdown. This garbage consisted of file names, which were written during startup (key point: not a pointer error) thanks to Michael Biebl for reporting this bug
bugfix: startup and shutdown message were emitted to stdout thanks to Michael Biebl for reporting this bug
bugfix: error messages were not emitted to stderr in forked mode
(stderr and stdo are now kept open across forks)
bugfix: internal messages were emitted to whatever file had fd2 when rsyslogd ran in forked mode (as usual!) Thanks to varmojfekoj for the patch
small enhancement: config validation run now exits with code 1 if an error is detected. This change is considered important but small enough to apply it directly to the stable version. [But it is a border case, the change requires more code than I had hoped. Thus I have NOT tried to actually catch all cases, this is left for the current devel releases, if necessary]
bugfix: light and full delay watermarks had invalid values, badly affecting performance for delayable inputs
bugfix: potential segfault issue when multiple $UDPServerRun directives are specified. Thanks to Michael Biebl for helping to debug this one.
relaxed GnuTLS version requirement to 1.4.0 after confirmation from the field that this version is sufficient
bugfix: parser did not properly handle empty structured data
bugfix: invalid mutex release in msg.c (detected under thread debugger, seems not to have any impact on actual deployments)
