I’m proud to announce that syslog-ng 3.3.1 has been released.

It is an important release in a number of ways:

• syslog-ng architecture was completely revamped to scale properly in
  today’s multi-core environments. I’ve seen it process 800000 messages /
  second in some scenarios.
• following the licensing change in 3.2, it incorporates contributions
  (code, testing & feedback) from 54 individuals.

In total, the development of 3.3 took about a year, producing 580 patches and the following diffstat:

294 files changed, 20314 insertions(+), 7624 deletions(-)

That compared to the total number of lines in the git repository (81804 lines) is a significant change over 3.2

See the syslog-ng ohloh page for more statistics:
