syslog-ng 3.4.0alpha2 has been released

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PACKAGE             : syslog-ng
VERSION             : 3.4.0alpha2
SUMMARY             : new stable release
DATE                : May 1, 2012
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

DESCRIPTION:

  A new stable version of syslog-ng Open Source Edition (3.4.0alpha2) has been
  released. For latest fixes in the 3.4.x feature branch you are recommended to
  upgrade to this version.

CHANGES:

3.4.0alpha2
	Tue, 01 May 2012 08:59:21 +0200

	Features:
	=========
	* Added support for globbing when including files. Now you can use
	  UNIX shell style wildcards in the names of include files and
	  syslog-ng will properly source all matching files.

	* Allow huge messages. Earlier log messages were limited to 256k in
	  size, with each name-value pair limited at 64k. These limitations
          were lifted, syslog-ng now uses a 32 bit integer field to hold the
	  size information for both the whole data structure and individual
          fields. An artificial limit of 256MB is still applied though, but
          it is trivial to change that in the future, and until then this

CHANGES:

3.3.5
	Sat, 07 Apr 2012 10:35:25 +0200

	Bugfixes:
	=========
	* Fixed a significant memory leak that occurred when the receiver
	  side of a syslog connection is slower than syslog-ng. The message
	  which we got EAGAIN for got leaked.

	* Fixed another memory leak that caused the complete queue for
	  socket based destination drivers to be leaked at reload time.

	* Fixed a memory leak related to handling TLS enabled connections.
	  As connections come and go the TLS context wasn't freed.

syslog-ng Premium Edition 4 F2 (4.2.2) has been released

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PACKAGE             : syslog-ng Premium Edition
VERSION             : 4 F2 (4.2.2)
SUMMARY             : New syslog-ng Premium Edition feature release
DATE                : Mar 22, 2012
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

DESCRIPTION:

  A new version of syslog-ng Premium Edition 4 F2 (4 F2 (4.2.2)) has been
  released. For latest fixes in the 4 F2 (4.2.x) branch you are
  recommended to upgrade to this version.

CHANGES:

4 F2 (4.2.2)
  Thu, 22 Mar 2012 14:08:00 +0200

  New features:
  * Starting with version 4 F2 (4.2.2), on-the-wire compression can be enabled in
    TLS-encrypted communication to reduce the bandwidth usage of transporting log
    messages. Note that this option must be enabled both on the server and the
    client side to have any effect. Enabling compression can significantly reduce
    the bandwidth required to transport the messages, but can slightly decrease
    the performance of syslog-ng PE, reducing the number of transferred messages.

  Fixed issues:
    #26029: syslog-ng crashes when pipe destination receives an EAGAIN signal
    #25972: Using a CSV parser in multiple logpaths does not have effect
    #26127: syslog-ng is leaking file descriptors

syslog-ng Premium Edition 4 F2 (4.2.1) has been released

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PACKAGE             : syslog-ng Premium Edition
VERSION             : 4 F2 (4.2.1)
SUMMARY             : New syslog-ng Premium Edition feature release
DATE                : Feb 20, 2012
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  Dear syslog-ng Premium Edition Users,

  A new feature version of the syslog-ng Premium Edition (PE) has been
  released.

  The main new features of syslog-ng Premium Edition 4 F2 (4.2.1) are
  briefly summarized below:

WARNING
    New license required for multi-CPU operation
    Note that version 4 F2 of syslog-ng Premium Edition includes
    multi-threaded processing with a 2 CPU core limit. If you are upgrading your
    syslog-ng PE server from version 4.1 to 4.2 and your syslog-ng PE deployment
    requires more than 2 CPU cores, you will need to obtain a new license file,
    free of charge, from the BalaBit sales department.

  Reliable disk-based buffering

  * Reliable disk-based buffering is now available in syslog-ng PE. Use reliable
    disk-based buffering if you do not want to lose logs in case of
    reload/restart, unreachable destination or syslog-ng PE crash. This solution
    provides a slower, but reliable disk-buffer option. The disk-buffer file is
    created and initialized at startup and gradually grows as new messages
