After a very long time, LibLogging 0.6.0 has been released today. This version is not as stable as 0.5.0, but it includes the COOKED listener as its most important feature (but please note that it currently does not support COOKED relay operations or is scheduled to do that in the near future).
Unfortunately, when I stopped working on liblogging due to some higher priority work (in 2003 ;)), I didn't update the change log. While I initially thought I'd push it away for a few weeks at most, it actually become suspended for some month. The lack of real interest in it didn't justify any more work. Thankfully, interest in RFC 3195 is now improving and I've also done my own syslogd for unix, so I am now able to look at least partly at the lib. In the mean time, some users have successfully used the 0.5.0 release and their feedback was generally pleasant. So I think this is a good release. I have gone through the code and extract what has been upgraded since 0.5.0. Here are the changes (probably I missed some minor things):
- support for UDP and unix domain socket listening - these features were initially introduced to support a to-be-written syslogd. They are not very well tested and will probably not be for quite some time.
- code enhanced to guard against oversize BEEP frames, which could be introduced by a malicous person (security related)
- some support for Solaris has been added (not sure what it was exactly...)
- added the COOKED listener
- some checks against invalid SEQs
