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 adds a new property, "fromhost-ip",
which enables users
to obtain the IP address of the syslog sender,
irrelevant of the -x
option setting. It adds a number of bugfixes, many
in the TLS area. This
version is a recommended update for all
development branch users. It
is quite stable. It is not yet suggested to use
the TLS functionality
outside of test environments.
