This requires new-style input statements to be + used. If legacy configuration statements are used, LF escaping is always + turned off to preserve compatibility. + NOTE: if input() statements were already used, there is a CHANGE OF + BEHAVIOUR: starting with this version, escaping is enabled by + default. So if you do not want it, you need to add + escapeLF="off" + to the input statement. Given the trouble LFs cause and the fact + that the majority of installations still use legacy config, we + considered this behaviour change acceptable and useful. + see also: http://blog.gerhards.net/2013/09/imfile-multi-line-messages.html +- add support for global and local variables +- bugfix: queue file size was not correctly processed + this could lead to using one queue file per message for sizes >2GiB + Thanks to Tomas Heinrich for the patch. +- add main_queue() configuration object to configure main message queue +- bugfix: stream compression in imptcp caused timestamp to be corrupted +- imudp: add ability to specify SO_RCVBUF size (rcvbufSize parameter) +- imudp: use inputname for statistics, if configured +- impstats: add process resource usage counters [via getrusage()] +- impstats: add paramter "resetCounters" to report delta values + possible for most, but not all, counters. See doc for details. +- librelp 1.2.0 is now required +- make use of new librelp generic error reporting facility + This leads to more error messages being passed to the user and + thus simplified troubleshooting. +- bugfix: very small memory leak in imrelp + more or less cosmetic, a single memory block was not freed, but this + only happens immediately before termination (when the OS automatically + frees all memory). Still an annoyance e.g. in valgrind. +- fix compile problem in debug build +- imported fixes from 7.4.4 +--------------------------------------------------------------------------- +Version 7.5.2 [devel] 2013-07-04 +- librelp 1.1.4 is now required + We use API extensions for better error reporting and higher performance. +- omrelp: use transactional mode to make imrelp emit bulk sends +- omrelp: add "windowSize" parameter to set custom RELP window size +- bugfix: double-free in omelasticsearch + closes: http://bugzilla.adiscon.com/show_bug.cgi?id=461 + a security advisory for this bug is available at: + http://www.lsexperts.de/advisories/lse-2013-07-03.txt + CVE: CVE-2013-4758 + PLEASE NOTE: This issue only existed if omelasticsearch was used + in a non-default configuration, where the "errorfile" parameter + was specified. Without that parameter set, the bug could not + be triggered. + Thanks to Markus Vervier and Marius Ionescu for providing a detailled + bug report. Special thanks to Markus for coordinating his security + advisory with us. +- doc: fixed various typos + closes: http://bugzilla.adiscon.com/show_bug.cgi?id=391 + Thanks to Georgi Georgiev for the patch. +--------------------------------------------------------------------------- +Version 7.5.1 [devel] 2013-06-26 +- librelp 1.1.3 is required - older versions can lead to a segfault +- add mmfields, which among others supports easy parsing of CEF messages +- omrelp: + * new parameter "compression.prioritystring" to control encryption + parameters used by GnuTLS +- imrelp: + * new parameter "compression.dhbits" to control the number of + bits being used for Diffie-Hellman key generation + * new parameter "compression.prioritystring" to control encryption + parameters used by GnuTLS + * support for impstats added + * support for setting permitted peers (client authentication) added + * bugfix: potential segfault at startup on invalid config parameters +- imjournal: imported patches from 7.4.1 +- omprog: add support for command line parameters +- added experimental TCP stream compression (imptcp only, currently) +- added BSD-specific syslog facilities + * "console" + * "bsd_security" - this is called "security" under BSD, but that name + was unfortunately already taken by some standard facility. So I + did the (hopefully) second-best thing and renamed it a little. +- imported fixes from 7.4.2 (especially build problems on FreeBSD) +- bugfix: imptcp did not properly initialize compression status variable + could lead to segfault if stream:always compression mode was selected +--------------------------------------------------------------------------- +Version 7.5.0 [devel] 2013-06-11 +- imrelp: implement "ruleset" module parameter +- imrelp/omrelp: add TLS & compression (zip) support +- omrelp: add "rebindInterval" parameter +- add -S command line option to specify IP address to use for RELP client + connections + Thanks to Axel Rau for the patch. +--------------------------------------------------------------------------- Version 7.4.5 [v7.4-stable] 2013-09-?? - bugfix: doc: imuxsock legacy param $SystemLogSocketParseTrusted was misspelled |
