3.6.2

This is the first maintenance release for 3.6.x series.

Changes compared to 3.6.1:

Features

• New parameter added to loggen: --permanent (-T) wich is for sending logs
  indefinitely.

Fixes

• From now, syslog-ng won't crash when using a Riemann destination and
  no attributes are set.
• In some cases program destination respawned during syslog-ng stop/restart.
• Max packet length for spoof source is set to 1024 (previously : 256).
• Removed syslog.socket from service file on systems using systemd.
  Syslog-ng reads the messages directly from journal on systems with systemd.
• In some cases, localtime related macros had a wrong value(eg.:$YEAR).
• Transaction handling fixed in SQL destination. In some circumstances when
  both select and insert commands were run within a single transaction and
  the select failed (eg.: in case of mssql), the log messages related to
  the insert commands, broken by the invalid transaction, were lost.
• Fixed a memleak in SQL destination driver.
  The memleak occured during one of the transaction failures.
• A certificate which is not contained by the list of fingerprints is
  rejected from now.
• Hostname check in tls certificate is case insensitive from now.
• Fix spinning on EOF for unix-stream() sockets. Root cause of the spinning
  was that a unix-dgram socket was created even in case of unix-stream.

Compatibility notes

• Prefer SYSLOG_IDENTIFIER over _COMM in systemd-journal.
  In order to not break assumptions, prefer SYSLOG_IDENTIFIER over _COMM.
  For example, postfix uses postfix/qmgr as SYSLOG_IDENTIFIER, but _COMM
  is only "qmgr". The journal itself uses SYSLOG_IDENTIFIER when
  reconstructing the syslog message, so we should not deviate from that
  behaviour, either.

  Similarly, rsyslog also prefers SYSLOG_IDENTIFIER, so for the sake of
  compatibility, doing the same is preferable.

Credits

syslog-ng is developed as a community project, and as such it relies
on volunteers, to do the work necessarily to produce syslog-ng.

Reporting bugs, testing changes, writing code or simply providing
feedback are all important contributions, so please if you are a user
of syslog-ng, contribute.
