Hi all,
we have just released rsyslog 3.19.7. This release provides new
functionality. The reliability of plain TCP syslog has been improved.
Also, rsyslog is now tickless in the most common configuration, helping
to save the environment. A new property replacer option has been added
and some general cleanup done. This is a recommended update for all
devel branch users.
If you use plain tcp syslog, I suggest having a look at this post on the
reliability improvements:

ml
In short, be aware that it still isn't perfect and it never will be,
because full reliability is impossible with the plain tcp syslog
protocol.
Regarding the new tickless configuration and its impact on the
environment (or your notebook's battery capacity), you may want to have
a look at

Improving rsyslog is costly, but you can help! We are looking for
organizations that find rsyslog useful and wish to contribute back. You
can contribute by reporting bugs, improve the software, or donate money
or equipment.
Commercial support contracts for rsyslog are available, and they help
finance continued maintenance. Adiscon GmbH, a privately held German
company, is currently funding rsyslog development. We are always looking
for interesting development projects. For details on how to help, please
