  • Disable debug messages, in default syslog.conf, from /var/log/syslog
  • Rename option -K to -t for trusting kernel timestamp, issue #42

  • Rudimentary support for detecting if running in a container and then disable kernel logging automatically, issue #48
  • Add support for notify PATH option to syslog.conf, for calling an external script on log rotation, by Steffen Nurpmeso, issue #45
  • Add support for log rotation on SIGUSR2, by Steffen Nurpmeso, issue #46

Fixes

  • Issue #41: add missing -H option to usage text
  • Issue #44: option misspelled in man page
  • Issue #47: do not lose file mode on rotated files, by Steffen Nurpmeso
  • Issue #48: verify kernel log FIFO is a proper character device, for running in certain container setups
  • Issue #49: add support for -8 command line option to allow 8-bit data to be logged -- this is a temporary fix until we have support for parsing the Unicode BOM, as defined in RFC5424
