* 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
