syslog-ng 3.5.6
This is the sixth bug-fix release for the 3.5.x series. Upgrading from earlier versions is highly recommended, as the changes in this release are very small, yet, also very important for most platforms and workloads.
Bugfixes
- A major memory leak was fixed in the value-pairs framework, which affects
$(format-json)
, MongoDB, AMQP and more. The leak was supposed to be fixed in 3.5.5, but due to a merging mistake, it was missed. - The configure script now detects Linux capabilities properly, there is no need to use
--disable-linux-caps
on non-Linux platforms anymore. - The
pdbtool merge
command will now generate version 4 patterndb files, instead of version 3.
