An update that has one recommended fix can now be installed.
Description:
Syslog-NG was updated to version 3.6.4, which brings several fixes and
enhancements:
- The new systemd-syslog() source replaces the former implicit support for
the same functionality. Users who use systemd are advised to use either
the system() source, or this new one when they want to receive logs from
systemd via the /run/systemd/journal/syslog socket.
- The new source driver systemd-journal() reads from the Journal directly,
not via the syslog forwarding socket. The system() source defaults to
using this source when systemd is detected.
- Fix systemd support on platforms which have systemd older than version
209.
- Fix AMQP segmentation fault right after starting on some platforms.
- Fix inaccurate time stamps for messages read from /dev/kmsg.
- Add DOS/Windows line ending support in configuration files.
- Fix issue that prevented all plugins from being loaded by default.
- Fix potential crash during stop phase when user wanted syslog-ng to stop
immediately after start.
- Fix memory leak around reload and internal queuing mechanism.
- Add support for the monolithic libsystemd library from systemd 209.
