imdiag/imtcp had a modload race condition (as imdiag is a testing aid,
this has no implications for production deployments). Also, I replaced
netcat by a custom program to talk to imdiag. This, for the first time ever,
is now a Java program. I plan to add some GUI troubleshooting tools and
thought it is a good idea to start doing things in Java that can simply
be done in that language.
This is more efficient for some outputs. They new can receive fields not only
as a single string but rather in an array where each string is seperated.
worked on ways to provide a better test suite:
- added -T rsyslogd command line option, enables to specify a directory
where to chroot() into on startup. This is NOT a security feature but
introduced to support testing. Thus, -T does not make sure chroot()
is used in a secure way. (may be removed later)
- added omstdout module for testing purposes. Spits out all messages to
stdout - no config option, no other features
- modified $ModLoad statement so that for modules whom's name starts with
a dot, no path is prepended (this enables relative-pathes and should
not break any valid current config)
Unfortunatley, I do not have the full list of contributors
available. The patch set was compiled by Ben Taylor, and I made
some further changes to adopt it to the news rsyslog branch. Others
provided much of the base work, but I can not find the names of the
original authors. If you happen to be one of them, please let me
know so that I can give proper credits.
... in gnutls code, resulting in some hard too
understand error messages. Also genereally improved certificate
error messages a bit.
Also, added GnuTLS debugging support.
- added the ability to specify an error log function for the
runtime
- removed dependency of core runtime on dirty.h
Note that it is "better" modularity, not perfect. There is still
work to do, but I think we can for the time being proceed with
other things.
there are still some files left which could go into the
runtime, but I think we will delete most of them once we
are done with the full modularization.
