rsyslog 1.20.0 preview available

Hi all,

there is a preview of rsyslog 1.20.0 available at

http://download.rsyslog.com/rsyslog/rsyslog-1.20.0.tar.gz

It obviously does not contains Michael Biebl's upcoming autotools patch,
but should be fairly well. I would be most interested in feedback from
the field, especially on the new postgres module by sur5r (thanks
again!). I plan to release end of week if now show stoppers show up.

Please note that I have disabled GSS-API in a rough way: you can simply
not select it in configure. This is because GSS-API support does need
some more work or it could become an interop problem in the future. So
we decided to push it back until that is solved.

Feedback is highly appreciated. If I updated the tarball, I'll announce
that. Oh, yes, doc is not finished yet, so do not wonder...

Rainer

Just a small thing I already mentioned on the forum but unfortunately
got overlooked:

ommysql, line 236: p+=sizeof(":ommysql:");

This adds increments the pointer one byte too far (trailing \0) and
thus eats the first byte of the hostname part.

It's a bit unfortunate that strlen() doesn't count the \0 while
sizeof() does...

Regards,
sur5r

Indeed, thanks for pointing it out. Its fixed now, in cvs and I also
re-released the tarball (just for completeness).
