<summary>Recommended update for rsyslog</summary>
<description>This update for rsyslog fixes the following issues:
- Upgrade to rsyslog 8.2106.0:
* The prime new feature is support for TLS and non-TLS connections
via imtcp in parallel. Furthermore, most TLS parameters can now be overriden
at the input() level. The notable exceptions are certificate files, something
that is due to be implemented as next step.
* New global option "parser.supportCompressionExtension"
This permits to turn off rsyslog's single-message compression extension
when it interferes with non-syslog message processing (the parser
subsystem expects syslog messages, not generic text)
closes https://github.com/rsyslog/rsyslog/issues/4598
* imtcp: add more override config params to input()
It is now possible to override all module parameters at the input() level. Module
parameters serve as defaults. Existing configs need no modification.
* imtcp: add stream driver parameter to input() configuration
This permits to have different inputs use different stream drivers
and stream driver parameters.
* imtcp: permit to run multiple inputs in parallel
Previously, a single server was used to run all imtcp inputs. This
had a couple of drawsbacks. First and foremost, we could not use
different stream drivers in the varios inputs. This patch now
provides a baseline to do that, but does still not implement the
capability (in this sense it is a staging patch).
Secondly, we now ensure that each input has at least one exclusive
thread for processing, untangling the performance of multiple
inputs from each other.
* tcpsrv bugfix: potential sluggishnes and hang on shutdown
tcpsrv is used by multiple other modules (imtcp, imdiag, imgssapi, and,
in theory, also others - even ones we do not know about). However, the
internal synchornization did not properly take multiple tcpsrv users
in consideration.
As such, a single user could hang under some circumstances. This was
caused by improperly awaking all users from a pthread condition wait.
That in turn could lead to some sluggish behaviour and, in rare cases,
a hang at shutdown.
Note: it was highly unlikely to experience real problems with the
officially provided modules.
* refactoring of syslog/tcp driver parameter passing
This has now been generalized to a parameter block, which makes it much cleaner and
also easier to add new parameters in the future.
* config script: add re_match_i() and re_extract_i() functions
This provides case-insensitive regex functionality.
- Upgrade to rsyslog 8.2104.0:
* rainerscript: call getgrnam_r repeatedly to get all group members (bsc#1178490)
* new built-in function get_property() to access property vars
* mmdblookup: add support for mmdb DB reload on HUP

* test bugfix: some tests did not work with newer TLS library versions
- Update 'remote.conf' example file to new 'Address' and 'Port' notation. (bsc#1182653)
- Upgrade to rsyslog 8.2102.0:
* omfwd: add stats counter for sent bytes
* omfwd: add error reporting configuration option
* action stats counter bugfix: failure count was not properly incremented
* action stats counter bugfix: resume count was not incremented
* omfwd bugfix: segfault or error if port not given
* lookup table bugfix: data race on lookup table reload
* testbench modernization
* testbench: fix invalid sequence of kafka tests runs

- Upgrade to rsyslog 8.2012.0:
* testbench bugfix: some tests did not work in make distcheck
* immark: rewrite with many improvements
* usability: re-phrase error message to help users better understand cause
* add new system property $now-unixtimestamp
* omfwd: add new rate limit option
* omfwd bug: param "StreamDriver.PermitExpiredCerts" is not "off" by default
- prepare usrmerge (bsc#1029961)
- remove legacy stuff from specfile
* sysvinit is not supported anymore, so remove all tests related to systemv in the specfile

* core/msg bugfix: memory leak
* core/msg bugfix: segfault in jsonPathFindNext() when <root> not an object
* openssl TLS subsystem: improvments of error and status messages
