As you can see below, I am currently more involved in non-coding activities, like getting most reliability out of plain tcp syslog, IETF work and pondering the phpLogCon team with all those nice little things that are hard to implement ;) Past day's rsyslog work log: 2008-05-28 - released 3.17.3 - (finally switched to Fedora 9 on main dev machine;)) 2008-05-29 - enabled Posix ERE expressions inside the property replacer (previously BRE was permitted only) - provided ability to specify that a regular expression submatch shall be used inside the property replacer - Worked on Martin's suggestion for a more reliable plain tcp transport 2008-05-30 - implemented in property replacer: if a regular expression does not match, it can now either return "**NO MATCH** (default, as before), a blank property or the full original property text - Worked on Martin's new suggestion for a more reliable plain tcp transport This one looks promising, at least for simple cases 2008-06-02 - worked on plain tcp syslog reliability 2008-06-03 - begun working on TLS doc (finally ;)) - bugfix: part of permittedPeer structure was not correctly initialized thanks to varmojfekoj for spotting this 2008-06-04 - bugfix: off-by-one bug during certificate check - bugfix: removed some memory leaks in TLS code - enhanced property replacer to support multiple regex matches 2008-06-06 - IETF work, syslog-transport-tls - begun doc on unreliable tcp syslog and a work-around based on Martin's idea
