Rsyslog is an enhanced multi-threaded syslogd.
Among others, it offers support for on-demand disk
buffering, reliable syslog over TCP, writing to
databases (MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle, and many
more), email alerting, fully configurable output
formats (including high-precision timestamps), the
ability to filter on any part of the syslog
message, on-the-wire message compression, and the
ability to convert text files to syslog. It is a
drop-in replacement for stock syslogd and able to
work with the same configuration file syntax.

Changes:
This release brings a major new feature, RELP
support, to the stable branch. RELP enables
lossless transmission of syslog messages, in cases
where even plain TCP syslog fails. Other than
that, the release contains a few bugfixes. Users
of the v3-stable branch are advised to update to
this release.
