syslog-ng 2.1 is branched

I've just finished preparations for the release of syslog-ng 2.0.3 and now I consider the 2.0.x branch feature complete. As far as I know there's no feature that was present in 1.6.x and missing from the 2.0.x rewrite. The last missing bits were spoof-source and TCP wrapper support, but as those are present in 2.0.3 I consider syslog-ng 2.0 feature complete. I don't plan to add further code that would cause destabilization.

Now some plans about the newly opened 2.1 branch: we (as BalaBit) played with an idea of creating a commercial fork of syslog-ng which could increase the amount of resources that I can allocate to developing syslog-ng code. From 2.1 on, two parallel editions of syslog-ng will become available:

• syslog-ng 2.1 Open Source Edition: the same as syslog-ng 2.0, available under the GPL
• syslog-ng 2.1 Premium Edition: a commercial fork of syslog-ng,

The two releases will be produced from the same source tree with some of the commercial functionality stripped during the release process. This ensures that bugfixes/changes that are developed in the branch will automatically be released with the open source edition as well.

In the first release, the difference between the two editions are as follows:

• TLS support,
• Support for a Windows agent, capable of sending log messages in syslog-ng's extended log format and TLS encryption.
  
• New, updated manual (also covering the Open Source Edition).
