rsyslog 5.7.9 (v5-beta) released

We have just released rsyslog 5.7.9, the new v5-beta.

This is primarily a bug-fixing release with a small enhancement handling a very uncommon case (rsyslog build on newer kernel and executed on older one). This probably is the last 5.7 release before the beginning of the new stable 5.8 versions.

PLEASE NOTE that this version contains fixes which are not yet part of v5-stable. Especially the fix for bug 236 (failover scenario) is rather big and it  has some potential for regressions. So we decided to release v5-beta first, check the feedback, and only after that release the updated v5-stable. As such, feedback would be deeply appreciated (even more than usually ;)).

Please see the ChangeLog for more details.
