Hi all, a question on the forum (http://www.rsyslog.com/PNphpBB2-viewtopic-p-1113.phtml#1113 ) and a bit asking around finally made me think about the possibility of a v3 stable version, something that dangled on my mind for a while now... While it is just three month since v2 stable, we have gone a long way and during that time the new queue engine has much matured. As "development" state is most often a show-stopper for putting code into production, I think about releasing a 3.0.0 stable (based on the most recent 3.12.x version WITHOUT RELP support).
>From a support perspective, I'd like to continue support v2 stable and obviously v3 stable and development concurrently. Development would continue with 3.13.0 (RELP support), and 3.0.0 would only receive bug fixes. Some time from now, 3.<whatever>.<whatever> would become 3.1.0 stable. At this point, I would drop support/fixing for 3.0.<whatever> and ask users with problems in the branch to update to 3.1.<whatever>. Does this sound reasonable? The big problem is that I must be careful not to create too many version which I must support, but at the same time allow new, matured, features to go into broader production. And, of course, 3.0.0 stable would probably be a bit less stable than 2.0.4, but only if you use features that are not present in v2. All in all, the queue engine has received more than a fire drill and is ready for production - though probably not fully trouble free. But we won't see that until it gets more used. Feedback is appreciated. Thanks, Rainer _______________________________________________ rsyslog mailing list http://lists.adiscon.net/mailman/listinfo/rsyslog
