• Issue #440
  fix LZ4 decompression issue
• PR #450
  increase maximum cluster size from 64 to 128
• fix collector in submission mode and debug, for stats, now use -S
  option (problem revealed by musl libc stdio handling)
• Issue #454
  any_of failing nodes cause lag and possible metrics loss

3.7.4 (13-02-2022)

New Features

• Issue #442
  allow setting min/max TLS protocol versions for SSL listener

3.7.3 (09-11-2021)

Bugfixes

• Issue #394
  dispatcher can lost some metrics on connection with compression

3.7.2 (10-07-2020)

Bugfixes

• Issue #415
  fixed an issue with listeners during shutdown that showed up on some
  platforms

3.7.1 (05-07-2020)

New Features

• dispatcher semaphore based thread suspension instead of interval
  based processing should reduce CPU usage and improve response times
  and throughput

Bugfixes

• Issue #398
  metric includes all tags up to one before last
• Issue #405
  statistics 'send to cluster' counted as blackholed

Note

The previous 3.7 release was retracted. On Linux this release had CPU hogging behaviour coming from the new semaphore approch. This is the only fix made in 3.7.1.

3.4 (18-10-2018)

New Features

• router syslog message type to emit syslog packets was added.
  Pull Request #329
• server will now set the SNI hostname before connecting over TLS.
• relay a new flag -E was added to disable disconnecting idle
  clients.
  Bug #330
• relay support for snappy compression was added.
• relay SSL support can now be used next to compression
  Bug #323
• relay add option to set CA certs using -C, in addition
  certificate verification failures are now treated as fatal
  Bug #314

Bugfixes

• Issue #327
  gzip compression leaking half closed sockets
• Issue #341
  after SIGHUP with changed config relay no longer accepts connections
• passing a directory as config file silently succeeds with empty config
  as result

3.3 (23-03-2018)

New Features

• dispatcher tags support was added, it is only activated when the
  ; character is not in the list of allowed characters (-c flag).
  Note that by default this character is not allowed, hence tags support
  enabled.
  Issue #311
• dispatcher support for onigurama, pcre2 and pcre regex libraries
  was added. These libraries perform all better than the libc
  implementation, bringing down cpu time of the relay considerably.

Bugfixes

• Fix conffile.tab.h dependency for parallel make.

3.2 (21-10-2017)

Notes

• The deprecated -S and -m options were removed. Use thestatistics configuration file construct instead.
• The -i option was removed. Use tue listen configuration file construct instead.

New Features

• relay the flag -tt can now be used to test the configuration and exit immediately. In this mode, any standard output is suppressed as well.
  Issue #247
• relay the listen construct was added to precisely control listen ports and protocols.
• server unresolvable hosts are now treated as failed servers, this means the relay will only warn about unresolvable hosts, but not error out. If a host becomes unresolvable this server is transitioned to failed state until it is resolvable again.
  Issue #293
• relay compression and encryption support was added to listeners and servers.
  Issue #212
  Issue #75

Bugfixes

• Issue #265
  exit code is sucess on error when daemonised
• Issue #266
  incorrect hash when using aggregate function
• Issue #267

• PR #273
  regex matching slow on glibc due to lock contention
• Issue #287
  unexpected warning about rejected socket bufsize
• PR #282
  route using should not change the metric key sent
• PR #274

• buckytools Issue #17
  consistent-hash implementation returns a different distribution with the binary search approach
