On +January, 2nd 2008, rsyslog 1.21.2 is re-released as rsyslog v2.0.0 +stable. This is a major milestone as far as the stable build is concerned. v3 is +not yet officially announced.

Config file changes are required and some command line options do +no longer work due to the new design.

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.
