To facilitate user contributions, we set up a 2.0.0 release. With its appearance, the pace of changes was deliberately reduced, in order to allow it to mature (see Rainers's -blog post on this topic, written a bit early, but covering the essence).

+In November 2007, rsyslog became the default syslogd in Fedora 8. +Obviously, that was something we *really* liked. Community involvement also is +still growing. There is one sad thing to note: ever since summer, there is an +extremely hard to find segfault bug. It happens on very rare occasions only and +never in lab. We are hunting this bug for month now, but still could not get +hold of it. Unfortunately, this also affects the new features schedule. It makes +limited sense to implement new features if problems with existing ones are not +really understood.

December 2008 showed the appearance of a postgres +output module, contributed by sur5r. With 1.20.0, December is also the first +time since the bughunt that we introduce other new features. It has been deciced +that we carefully will add features in order to not affect the overall project +by these rare bugs. Still, the bughunt is top priortiy, but we need to have more +data to analyse.

Be sure to visit Rainer's syslog blog to get some more insight into the development and futures of rsyslog and syslog in general. Don't be shy to post to either the blog or the rsyslog forums.
