ChangeLog for 4.5.8 (v4-beta)

Version 4.5.8 [v4-beta] (rgerhards), 2010-02-10

• enhanced doc for using PostgreSQL
  Thanks to Marc Schiffbauer for the new/updated doc

• bugfix: property replacer returned invalid parameters under some (unusual) conditions. In extreme cases, this could lead to garbled logs and/or a system failure.
• bugfix: invalid length returned (often) when using regular expressions inside the property replacer
• bugfix: submatch regex in property replacer did not honor “return 0 on no match” config case
• bugfix: imuxsock incorrectly stated inputname “imudp”
  Thanks to Ryan Lynch for reporting this.

• (slightly) enhanced support for FreeBSD by setting _PATH_MODDIR to the correct value on FreeBSD.
  Thanks to Cristiano for the patch.

• bugfix: -d did not enable display of debug messages regression from introduction of “debug on demand” mode
  Thanks to Michael Biebl for reporting this bug

• bugfix: blanks inside file names did not terminate file name parsing.
  This could reslult in the whole rest of a line (including comments) to be treated as file name in “write to file” actions.
  Thanks to Jack for reporting this issue.

• bugfix: rsyslog hang when writing to a named pipe which nobody was reading. Thanks to Michael Biebl for reporting this bug.
• bugfix: memory leak when sending messages in zip-compressed format
  Thanks to Naoya Nakazawa for analyzing this issue and providing a patch.

• bugfix: potential segfaults during queue shutdown (bugs require certain non-standard settings to appear)
  Thanks to varmojfekoj for the patch
