Rsyslog is an enhanced multi-threaded syslogd. Among others, it offers support for on-demand disk buffering, reliable syslog over TCP, SSL, TLS, and RELP, 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 is primarily a bug-fixing release. It solves
a couple of issues in the TLS implementation,
including one bug that could lead to peer
authentication failures. The release also provides
enhanced regular expression support inside fields,
where now multiple matches are supported. This is
a recommended update for all development branch
users.
