About:
Rsyslog is an enhanced multi-threaded syslogd. Among others, it offers support for on-demand disk buffering, reliable syslog over TCP, SSL, TLS, and RELP, writing to databases (MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle, and many more), email alerting, fully configurable output formats (including high-precision timestamps), the ability to filter on any part of the syslog message, on-the-wire message compression, and the ability to convert text files to syslog. It is a drop-in replacement for stock syslogd and able to work with the same configuration file syntax.

Release focus: Minor bugfixes

Changes:
This release addresses an issue where the MySQL error handler can lead to an endless loop. This is already fixed in the development branch, so if you run 1.10.2 there is no need to do anything. If you run the stable branch and use MySQL functionality, updating is advisable. Please note that 1.0.2 does not contain any other fixes or feature enhancements.
