rsyslog 3.10.0 released
Hi all,

Rsyslog 3.10.0 has been released today. It is the initial release of the
v3 development branch. It offers many new features, among others
loadable input modules and a much enhanced threading model. Rklogd is
now tightly integrated as an input plugin. UDP listeners can now be
bound to specific local interfaces/ports and multiple of them can be run
concurrently. There are many other enhancements. This release has a
number of known backward compatibility issues, be sure to review the
compatibility information in the documentation set. Rsyslog v3 is not
yet recommended on production machines.

The primary reason for release is that we would like to gain some
experience from the field. However, given the magnitude of change, the
code looks quite solid.

Please note that even though the first v3 version has been released, I
will continue to add features and capabilities rapidly. Expect new
releases soon. As always, feedback is highly appreciated. It would be
most valuable to make the v3 branch a practical alternative on
production systems.
