syslog-ng 3.2.1 released
Hi,
After 2 alpha and a beta release I’ve decided to declare that syslog-ng OSE 3.2 is now stable, and thus I’ve released 3.2.1, the first in the 3.2.x series. This version has the largest list of features even since the syslog-ng project was born, so make sure you check out all the goodies. ![]()
The key features were already covered on this blog in earlier posts, the most important ones in my opinion are:
- licensing change to LGPL/GPL combo, without the need to sign a contributory agreement
- plugins
- log message correllation support in db-parser
- automatic pattern generation for existing log files with pdbtool patternize
- template functions
Read the changelog and/or the documentation for more information. The diffstat between 3.1 and 3.2 are quite big:
407 files changed, 50305 insertions(+), 36487 deletions(-)
Considering that OSE 3.2 has 70k lines (more specifically 70163) in its git repository, this is quite a lot.

The list of changes are summarised in the changelog here:

Happy logging!
