+Version 4.7.0 [v4-devel] (rgerhards), 2009-09-??
+- added new config option $InputUnixListenSocketCreatePath
+ to permit the auto-creation of pathes to additional log sockets. This
+ turns out to be useful if they reside on temporary file systems and
+ rsyslogd starts up before the daemons that create these sockets
+ (rsyslogd always creates the socket itself if it does not exist).
+- added $LogRSyslogStatusMessages configuration directive
+ permitting to turn off rsyslog start/stop/HUP messages. See Debian
+ ticket http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=463793
