_______ rsyslog 1.17.6 (Development)_______

About: Rsyslog is an enhanced multi-threaded syslogd. Among other features, it offers support for reliable syslog over TCP and RFC 3195, writing to MySQL databases, fully configurable output formats (including great timestamps), the ability to filter on any part of the syslog message, and on-the-wire message compression. It is designed as a drop-in replacement for stock syslogd and thus is able to work with the same configuration file syntax. Of course, some enhanced features require changing the configuration file, but in general, this should be fairly easy.

Changes: This release completes the effort to create an output module interface. Lots of code has been changed during that effort. Newly added is the ability to work with include files in the main configuration file. A few debugging configuration commands have been added. There are also a number of bugfixes. This release is a strongly recommended update for users of 1.17.1 and above. There is no specific need for others, except if they like the new feature or would like to help with testing.
