  _PATH_LOG (/dev/log) socket. Avoids update problems and the
  need to adopt config before using init=... boot parameter
  (bnc#747871).

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Fri Jan 27 12:45:30 CET 2012 - czanik@balabit.hu

- more changelog, as requested by saschpe
  v3.3.1 was the initial syslog-ng 3.3 release
  fixes and changes, taken from the syslog-ng NEWS file

- Fixes:

* Fixed set() and subst() rewrite operations to work properly on the
  value() parameter specified in the configuration even if they are
  referenced at multiple spots in the configuration file.  Earlier
  the 2nd and subsequent invocation of the rewrite rule changed
  $MESSAGE.
* Fixed csv-parser() to work even if it is invoked at multiple spots
  in the configuration file. Earlier, the 2nd and subsequent
  references of the parser rule forgot the list of column names and
  the input template.
* Fixed the processing of condition() parameter in rewrite rules,
  which was broken if it contained a filter() function call.
* Fixed program() destination to properly kill the child process on
  reload and shutdown.
* Fixed a potential division by zero error which could happen for
  large data rates due to a race in an unlocked region.
* Fixed an assertion failure in mongodb destination that happened
  due to a race condition at high data rates.
* Fixed an fd leak in the control socket code, that caused the
  control connection file descriptors to be leaked.
* Fixed a crash problem in the tcp() destination, that occurred at
  or after a reload happens.
* Fixed a segmentation fault on reload when using the same rewrite
  rule from multiple log paths.
* Fixed a segmentation fault when processing a reload request in
  case an existing tcp() source is removed from the config and there
  are open connections.
* Fixed a possible segmentation fault in the scalable queue
  implementation, which happens in case a destination is slower to
  process messages than syslog-ng would like to send them.
* Fixed a possible file() destination issue that could cause
  syslog-ng to omit data or to write garbage to the log file in case
  the kernel reports that only a smaller portion of the actual write
  request could be accomplished.
* Fixed an "internal error duplicate config element" error during
  reload due to an invalid bugfix applied for 3.3.1.  Older beta
  versions of 3.3 were not affected.
* Fixed a memory leak that causes macro based file destinations to
  leak their queue when destination files are closed due to
  time-reap().
* Fixed the handling of the condition() option for rewrite rules.
* Fixed a race condition in value-pairs support, potentially causing
  heap corruption problems when $(format-json) is used in threaded
  mode.
* Fixed a memory leak in value-pairs template function argument
  parsing, fixing a leak if $(format-json) is used.
* Repeated definitions of source, destination, filter, rewrite,
  parser and block elements are not allowed by default anymore.
  These are reported as configuration errors unless
     @define allow-config-dups 1
  is specified in the configuration file.
* Fixed pdbtool error reporting in "pdbtool test" to make it easier
  to understand what went wrong.
* Added an SQL connection health check in case an INSERT failed.
  This way syslog-ng handles SQL server timeouts better.
* Fixed support for systemd socket activation. Previously such
  sockets were not set to non-blocking mode, causing syslog-ng to
  hang.
* Fixed the filter() function in the filter expression to work also
  when used as a part of an AND or OR construct.
* Allow the sql() destination to operate even without an indexes()
  option. That parameter was meant to be optional, but it wasn't.
* Fixed compilation issues if no OpenSSL is present.
* Fixed a minor memory leak in the usertty() driver that can increase
  memory usage on every reload. (The username() parameter wasn't
  properly freed on reload).
* Fixed a minor memory leak in the sql() driver that can increase
  the memory usage on every reload (indexes() parameter wasn't
  properly freed on reload).

- Changes
* db-parser() automatically sets a tag named '.classifier.unknown'
  if the message doesn't match.
* The use of actions in db-parser() for messages without a
  correllation context was inconsistently indexing messages. For
  actions in rules that had correllation @0 was the new message
  being generated, and @1 was the message that triggered the rule.
  Without correllation @0 was used for the triggering message, which
  is greatly inconsistent and unintuitive.  This was fixed by
  changing the behaviour for rules without correllation, now both
  correllation and non-correllation rules use @0 for the new
  message, and @1 for the triggering message.  This is an
  incompatible change in the db-parser() format.
* The value of the $TAGS macro is added to pdbtool match output.
* unix-dgram() and unix-stream() error logging on systemd failures
  became more detailed for easier troubleshooting.

  patch to be removed on next release

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Wed Aug 24 08:41:22 UTC 2011 - mt@suse.de

- Adopted to require new syslog-service package on 12.x, that
  provides the /etc/init.d/syslog LSB init script and systemd
  syslog.service service file. Removed syslog-ng.service file
  installation from spec file. (fate#311316).

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Thu Aug 18 15:58:26 CEST 2011 - czanik@balabit.hu

- updated to syslog-ng-3.3.0beta2, a new major release with many
  new features:

- added json subpackage
- keep only libafsocket.so (the notls version is not used)

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Mon Jun  6 12:55:40 UTC 2011 - mt@suse.de

- Updated to syslog-ng-3.2.4, maintenance release fixing several
  issues -- a digest of the changes:
  * A bug was found in the pcre implementation for subst(). If the
    "global" flag is specified and pcre returns an error, an infinite
    loop is created, consuming memory in the process. It is triggered
    by PCRE 8.12, but could potentially affect older versions too.
    (bnc#697374, CVE-2011-1951)
  * Fixed a potential use of uninitialized memory in the configuration
    file parser, no bug was triggered but gcc 4.6 reported it via a
    warning.
  * Fixed a possible security issue on Debian/kFreeBSD and on platforms
    where mode_t is an unsigned 16 bit value (FreeBSD,HP-UX).
    (CVE-2011-0343)
  * Fixes an y2k38 problem that causes syslog-ng to use 100% CPU time
    in case mark messages are enabled and the UNIX timestamps overflows
    a signed 32 bit counter, which happens in 19th, January 2038.
  * Fixed file() destination to work on device nodes (e.g. files in
    /dev).  Without this change, syslog-ng started using 100% CPU time
    if given devices as destinations that couldn't always consume data.
  * Don't attempt to remember the current file position for source
    files that are read with follow-freq(0), e.g. /dev/klog and /proc/kmsg.
  * Added systemd socket activation support.
  For complete list, please read NEWS file provided in the package.
- Removed obsolete systemd integration patch, added to install syslog-ng
  service file as forced in bnc#696963 even feature 311316 is not yet
  implemented, that is, log rotation files do not work, chroot socket
  config file is never generated when running under systemd.
- Enabled to read kernel messages directly (/proc/kmsg) for 12.x
- Added generation of dummy additional-log-sockets.conf in post install
- Adopted less static patch to build on 11.3.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Fri May 27 07:53:38 UTC 2011 - mt@suse.de

- Removed touch of obsolete /var/log/boot.log from spec post.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Thu Feb 10 13:31:31 UTC 2011 - mt@suse.de

- Fixed typo module-path in the config file (bnc#664931#c5).

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Wed Feb  2 13:37:40 UTC 2011 - mt@suse.de

- Moved sql support lib into separate syslog-ng-sql package,
  adopted the module-path patch and disabled loading of the
  sql module in scl/modules.conf config file by default.
  Adopted spec file to use with_sql for conditional build.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Wed Feb  2 10:04:30 CET 2011 - czanik@balabit.hu

- added module-path patch to be able to load modules
  also from /usr and removes an ugly warning message

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Tue Feb  1 16:50:31 UTC 2011 - mt@suse.de

- Merged all the systemd integration steps patches into one.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Tue Feb  1 15:19:46 CET 2011 - czanik@balabit.hu

Tue Jan 18 16:26:33 UTC 2011 - mt@suse.de

- Updated systemd support to the patch set sent upstream and
  additional workaround to not break the syslog-ng.ctl sock.
  Current limitation is, that *all* unix sockets have to be
  set up same way, that is either systemd activated or not,
  because the systemd patch disables unlink&bind functions.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Tue Jan 18 11:40:47 CET 2011 - czanik@balabit.hu

- temporarily disabled systemd support

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Tue Apr 13 08:40:57 CEST 2010 - pczanik@fang.fa.gau.hu

- upgraded to version 3.1.1
- removed patches, which were made redundant by 3.1.1
- enabled pcre, modified the 'less-static' patch
- NEWS from 2.0 to 3.0
  * Version 3.0 of syslog-ng supports the new syslog protocol
    standards by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF).
  * Log statements can be embedded into each other, making it
    possible to design complex log paths. That way for example
    the results of a filter can be sent to multiple destinations,
    or it can be sent to a destination unchanged, and partly
    rewritten for the other destination.
  * The encoding of source files can be set for proper character
    conversion (internally syslog-ng represents every message in
    UTF-8).
  * The syslog-ng application assigns a unique message
    identification number to every log message, making it easy
    to detect if any messages are lost.
  * The syslog-ng application can read, process, and rewrite
    structured messages (e.g., Apache webserver logs) using
    templates and regular expressions. Both messages with fixed
    field sizes and fields separated with delimiters (e.g.,
    comma-separated values) are supported.
- NEWS from 3.0 to 3.1
  * Support for patterndb v2 and v3 format, along with a bunch
    to new parsers: ANYSTRING, IPv6, IPvANY and FLOAT.
  * Added a new "pdbtool" utility to manage patterndb files:
    convert them from v1 or v2 format, merge mulitple patterndb
    files into one and look up matching patterns given a specific
    message.
  * Support for message tags: tags can be assigned to log messages
    as they enter syslog-ng: either by the source driver or via
    patterndb.
    Later it these tags can be used for efficient filtering.
  * Added support for rewriting structured data.
  * Macros and name-value pairs got a little tighter integration,
    in filters where syslog-ng 3.0 was limited to only use
    name-value pairs, with 3.1 you can also use macros.
  * Enhanced dynamic name-value performance by a factor of three.
  * Some parsers got additional features: NUMBER is now able to
    parse hexadecimal numbers, ESTRING is now able to search for
    multiple characters as the end of the string.
  * Added non-standard and non-portable facility codes (range
    10-15), decouple syslog-ng facility name information from
    the system used to compile syslog-ng on.
- new features, which are not enabled because of /usr dependency:
  * TLS support
  * logging to databases

-------------------------------------------------------------------

- Added patch to avoid getpwnam/getgrnam calls with on negative
  values, e.g. on -1 to skip file chown/grp/mod. This calls has
  caused an ldap search request on systems using nss_ldap and if
  the ldap server was running on the same machine and tryed to
  log, a deadlock happened (bnc#414955).
