rsyslog Cookbook CHANGELOG
==========================
This file is used to list changes made in each version of the rsyslog cookbook.

v.2.0.0 (2015-05-18)
Note: This version includes several breaking changes for Ubuntu users. Be sure to take care when deploying these changes to production systems.

- 49-relp.conf now properly uses the list of servers discovered in the client recipe
- Fixed a typo that prevented file-input.conf from properly templating
- Added allow_non_local attribute to allow non-local messages. This defaults to false, which preserves the previous functionality
- The rsyslog directory permissions are now properly set using the user/group attributes instead of root/root
- Properly drop permissions on Ubuntu systems to syslog/syslog.  Introduces 2 new attributes to control the user/group: priv_user and priv_group
- Remove logging to /dev/xconsole in 50-default.conf on Ubuntu systems.  This is generally not something you'd want to do and produces error messages at startup.

v.1.15.0 (2015-02-23)
---------------------
- Change minimum supported Fedora release to 20 to align with the Fedora product lifecycle
- Add supports CentOS to metadata
- Update Rubocop and Test Kitchen dependencies to the latest versions
- Update Chefspec to 4.0
- Fix CentOS 5 support in the Kitchen config
- Fix rsyslog service notification in the file_input LWRP

v.1.14.0 (2015-01-30)
---------------------
- Don't attempt to use journald on Amazon Linux since Amazon Linux doesn't use systemd
- Fixed setting bad permissions on the working directory by using the rsyslog user/group variables.
- Fixed bad variable in the 49-relp.conf template that prevented Chef converges from completing.
- Removed the 'reload' action from the rsyslog service as newer rsyslog releases don't support reload.
- Updated Chefspecs to remove deprecation warnings and added additional tests.
- Removed node name from the comment block in the config files.
- Added a new file_input LWRP for defining configs.
- Added support for chef solo search cookbook.

v1.13.0 (2014-11-25)
--------------------
- Rsyslog's working directory is now an attribute and is set to the appropriate directory on RHEL based distros
- The working directory is now 0700 vs 0755 for additional security
- Add the ActionQueueMaxDiskSpace directive with a default of 1GB to prevent out of disk events during large buffering
- Updated RHEL / Fedora facilities to match those shipped by the distros
- Updated modules to match those used by journald (systemd) on Fedora 19+ and CentOS 7

- Removed references to rsyslog v3 in the config template
