Update on syslog-ng progress
It’s been a while since I’ve last updated this blog. I’ll try to concentrate a bit more here, so the updates related to syslog-ng development get out. Since the last post syslog-ng 3.4 was actually released. And we have started working on the 3.5 branch.
There are already two features integrated into 3.5:
- support for reading multi-line messages from local files: can be enabled using the multi-line-mode(indented) option on file sources, and expects continuation lines beginning with whitespace
- support for the new /dev/kmsg kernel logging interface on Linux: should be enabled transparently if you use the system() source
A number of code maintenance work was also applied, some refactors, unit tests, etc.
Expect more to come 
Twitter activity
I had very limited time recently to update this blog, however I’ve started some twitter activity where I can post my tiny little posts without having to re-read them a number of times.
This makes it possible to _at least_ publish some syslog-ng updates, so in case you are interested, just follow @Bazsi771 or search for #syslog-ng, my posts would probably turn up.
Cheers
