it is time for some beta again
As done before, we are reopening our Rolling Beta program. Features and bugfixes will be added continuously. The changelog below helps you to keep track on the changes. Feel free to test this new rolling beta version, if you are experiencing any problems, kindly let us know via support email (support@adiscon.com) or this forum.
You can have a look into the Manual for WinSyslog Rolling Beta as well.
A note on Win32 and x64 Edition
WinSyslog is available for 2 platforms. For the win32 platform as before and now also for the x64 platform. Note that you can not cross update from the win32 to the x64 Version yet. If you want to do so, you can manually backup your registry settings, uninstall WinSyslog, install the x64 Version and reimport the registry settings.

Below the change since version 7.0:
======================
- Global DNS Cache added: All DNS queries are now cached within the engine, by default for at least 2 hours. This will increase the processing speed of the engine if you use resolve hostname options somewhere. The global cache can be customized and also disabled in the general options.
- Resolve Hostname Action: Customers asked for resolve hostname options in different services. This feature has now been implemented as an action. An action can be used with every service, and it doesn't delay the work of a service.
- Syslog Server: Added support for control character escaping the the tcp-based syslog server
- Send Email Action
Added a new Option to enable a Backup Email Server. This means in case that the connection to the main configured mail server can not be established, the backup mail server is tried. Note that an error is only generated, if the connection to the backup server fails as well.
- Manual
The Manual has been updated.
- File Logging Action: A bug was introduced in the circular logging option in the latest major version. This bug caused the previous file to be deleted, each time when a new cycle occured.
- Syslog Service: If a Syslog Server was configured using the TCP protocoll, the resolve hostame option did not work. This has been corrected now.
======================
- Syslog Server
Added support for control character escapes, so far for the UDP Syslog Listener only. Most importantly, this enables the handling of
NUL characters, which so far caused the message to be truncated at the NUL. [/b]
- Filter Engine
Added new feature to enhance the global filter conditions Minimum Waittime and Fire only if Event Occurs... called "Global Conditions relative to this property". This new feature enables you to control the Global Conditions based on a property. For example take the source of a message as property. In this case, the minimum waittime for example would be applied individual on each message source.
