<!-- Mon, 08 Jun 2015 10:37:31 +0200 -->
5+
6+
This is the third maintanance release for 3.6.x series.
7+
8+
Changes compared to 3.6.2:
9+
10+
Core fixes
11+
----------
12+
13+
* Inaccurate timestamps fixed on Linux for messages read from /dev/kmsg.
14+
For those messages syslog-ng uses keep-timestamp(no).
15+
16+
* Added DOS/Windows line ending support in config.
17+
18+
* In some cases, not all the existing plugins were loaded by default.
19+
20+
* In some cases, syslog-ng crashed during stop phase when user wanted
21+
syslog-ng to stop immediately after start.
22+
23+
* Some memory leak around reload and internal queueing mechanism has been fixed.
24+
25+
Build related fixes
26+
-------------------
27+
28+
* Manpage build issue fixed by adding `--enable-manpages` and `--with-docbook`
29+
configure option. `--with-docbook=PATH` gives the user the opportunity to
30+
specify the path for the user's own installed docbook.
31+
32+
* Fixed parallel build by adding correct dependencies to
33+
syslog-ng-ctl/Makefile.am.
34+
35+
Module fixes
36+
------------
37+
38+
* When a not writeable file becomes writeable later, syslog-ng recognize it
39+
(with the help of reopen-timer) and delivers messages to the file without
40+
dropping those which were received during the file was not available.
41+
42+
* Fixed a crash at the first message delivery when templates are used in
43+
a filename.
44+
45+
* Fixed a memory leak around file destination driver.
46+
47+
* In some circumstances, during reload, syslog-ng crashed when
48+
high internal message rate occured.
49+
50+
* When the configured host was not available during the initialization of
51+
`afsocket` destination syslog-ng just didn't start. From now, syslog-ng
52+
starts in that case and will retry connecting to the host periodically.
53+
54+
* Retries fixed in SQL destination. In some circumstances when
55+
`retry_sql_inserts` was set to 1, after an insertion failure all incoming
56+
messages were dropped.
57+
58+
* Connection process fixed in `amqp` destination and RabbitMQ module is
59+
set to upstream.
60+
61+
* Monolithic libsystemd library support added.
62+
In systemd 209, the various small libsystemd-* libraries were merged
63+
into a single libsystemd. From now, syslog-ng detects and
64+
uses the merged library when present, while still supports the split
65+
ones too. If the merged library is found, that will be preferred.
66+
67+
* Destination port fixed in `afstomp`.
68+
69+
* A memory leak fixed around ping functionality in `redis`.
70+
