Below the change since version 5.2:

2008-08-06 / build 354
Bugfixes
- Debug Logging: A bug in the debug facility caused file handles to leak when debug logging was enabled with the circular logging option. This has been fixed now.


2008-07-25 / build 353
Bugfixes
- File Monitor: When the Option to "Allow Directories or read multiple files" option was enabled, a search handle was leaked during each iteration of the File Monitor Service. This caused an instability of the Agent depending on the growing number of used handles.

2008-07-09 / build 352
Features
- New Service: Added new Service called Relp Listener. Relp (The Reliable Event Logging Protocol) is a new protocol designed by Rainer Gerhards. The new Service does not support many options yet, but fully works with other Relp-enabled applications like Rsyslog
- New Action: Added new Action called Send Relp which also utilitzies the new Relp protocol. The action also works with other Relp-enabled applications like Rsyslog.


2008-06-23 / build 351
Bugfixes
