* Version 20260105
- andy-bower:
-- replace scandirat() with scandir() for POSIX compatibility
* Version 20260103
- SimonGottsch:
-- support different logging formats for local and remote logging (log_format, remote_format):
legacy_timestamp (the current format, still default), legacy, rfc3164, rfc5424
-- support multiple remote syslog servers (remote_host, remote_port, remote_log, remote_format)
-- introduce optional severity levels (log_severity); optionally filter logs sent to remote servers (remote_severity_level)
- andy-bower:
-- fix config directory feature: config files are sorted now alphanumerically to get determined behaviour
-- support multiple sockets as logging source, e.g. for chrooted or containerized applications (socket)
-- introduce optional native log compression for rotated logs (compress), when linked with zlib (--without-compress)
-- introduce delayed log compression (compress_delay), so the latest log(s) stay uncompressed
-- some clean ups, e.g. get rid of PATH_MAX
- m-kress:
-- introduce config test parameter (--test-config or -t)
* Version 20230719
- m-kress:
-- Do not substitute trailing control characters of a log line, but eliminate them completelly.
Be aware, that this change will break existing filters that rely on the trailing underscore!
-- note in config file and man page: comments must be started with # only at the beginning of a line
-- add "configdir" to config, which allows reading additional config files ending with *.conf
* Version 20230707
- m-kress:
-- add missing brackets to harmonize code
-- check (stat) the program path given as command and ignore the command, if not existing
- auouymous:
-- fix behavior of (program_)?regex and (program_)?neg_regex conditions
- LonEox78:
-- pointer to directory name was not initialized, so eventually weird directories were created
- orbea:
-- replace RETSIGTYPE with void
-- silence obsolete warnings
* Version 20220214
- jovanlanik:
-- port to pcre2
-- doku has been updated, removed a lot of inconsistencies
-- add an option to change group
-- add permissions to configuration
-- remove unused errptr
* Version 20200113
- avoid writing logs to STDOUT twice
- add line feed to sent UDP log entries
- rkonrad:
-- add support for nanoseconds in time stamp
* Version 20181125
- closed memory leaks for remote syslog
* Version 2018510
- orbea:
-- clean up automake files
* Version 20180327
- minor fix in man page
* Version 20180326
- moved to GitHub hvisage/metalog
- m-kress:
-- add remote logging to a log server via UDP
-- silences a minor compiler warning (unused return value) and a missing cast
-- add the special value "NONE" as parameter for the keyword "logdir". A log entry with "NONE will not be written to a log file.
* Version 3
- fix interaction between "postrotate_cmd" and "logdir" (by Matt Whitlock
#2887065)
- switch to pkg-config for pcre look up
- update bundled gnulib code
* Version 2
- fix long standing typo where the minute field in the rotated log was
replaced with the current month: %m instead of %M (by dorian33 #3027782)
- add support for rate limiting of messages with the new "ratelimit" and
"ratelimit_burst" keywords (by Martin von Gagern #2777251)
- standardize warning/error output
* Version 1
- switch over to using daemon() by default
- fix stupid semicolon typo causing breaks on all lines (Gentoo Bug #258830)
- add "flush" keyword to control flushing per log output (by Martin von
Gagern #2549231)
- add --with-unicode option to control unicode mangling #2669923
* Version 0.9
- add --no-kernel option by Adrian Perez de Castro to disable kernel message
monitoring (#1727129 and #1751757)
- convert source tree to use gnulib rather than random local replacements
- fix by Amigac to not skip the "command" line when "logdir" and "break" are
both in use (#2401520)
- add "stamp_fmt" keyword to control the timestamp format in messages (based
partially on work from cJ #1910360 and Philip White #1690349, and for
#1232638)
- make sure to flush all buffers on exit in buffered mode as pointed out by
Ingo Bormuth (Gentoo Bug #233794)
* Version 0.8
- tweak signal handlers some more (#1655169)
- when dequeuing messages from the signal pipe, abort if malloc() failed
- add hal filter to default metalog.conf (Gentoo Bug #174847)
- add support from Eric Schwimmer / Debian for a new "postrotate_cmd"
option (#1706160)
- fix from Eric Schwimmer for div by zero error when maxtime = 0 (#1706158)
- add support from Eric Schwimmer for controlling the "Last output repeated
N times" message (#1706164)
- use %e rather than %d for logging dates (Gentoo Bug #177258)
* Version 0.8-rc4
- fix typo in previous change when checking the return of strftime()
as reported by Mark Wagner.
* Version 0.8-rc3
- use strftime() rather than printing out time values ourself so we get
localization for free via the system libc and so we don't have to
manipulate time structs ourselves (#1054478).
* Version 0.8-rc2
- config file in package updated (pull fixes from Gentoo)
- cleanup code a bit
- make --help more [non-root] friendly
- change default 'command spawn' messages to off (use --verbose to
get back old noisy behavior)
- check for setprogname() so we build on FreeBSD 6.1 (#1557585, fix
from Diego Petteno)
- fix error in memory allocation when using multiple facilities #1217560
- queue up messages in signal handlers via a pipe so that we don't hit
deadlocks by using functions that are unsafe for use inside these states
* Version 0.8-rc1
- new keyword: break
- config file in package updated (synch with break keyword)
- kernel logging problem fix
- race condition fix
- metalog.conf man page added
- log rotation can be disabled with maxsize or maxtime = 0
* Version 0.7
- Logging is now synchronous by default. Use --async to get back to
the asynchronous behavior.
- Duplicate messages are now only logged once.
- Negative regexes were implemented and programs can now also be
matched against regexes. See the new neg_regex, program_regex and
program_neg_regex keywords.
- The maximum urgency can now be specified for each block. A new
keyword, "maximum" completes "minimum".
- A PID file is now created. It defaults to /var/run/metalog.pid but
it can be changed with the --pidfile switch.
- The location of the configuration file can now be changed with
--with-configfile.
- The code was cleaned up.
* Version 0.7-beta
- This is a transitional version with new features contributed by
Hendrick Visage.
* Version 0.6
- Metalog is now working on Linux, OpenBSD, FreeBSD and NetBSD.
- New --consolelevel option to set up the console level on Linux.
- RPM packages are now available.
* Version 0.5
- First public release.
