The 2.x series is a major new upstream release which contains a lot of improvements and bug fixes over the 1.6.x series. The binary is now much bigger because syslog-ng is by default linked statically to the support libraries. syslog-ng, as the name shows, is a syslogd replacement, but with new functionality for the new generation. The original syslogd allows messages only to be sorted based on priority/facility pairs; syslog-ng adds the possibility to filter based on message contents using regular expressions. The new configuration scheme is intuitive and powerful. Forwarding logs over TCP and remembering all forwarding hops makes it ideal for firewalled environments. Please read /usr/share/doc/Cygwin/syslog-ng.README for postinstall information. I also recommend to visit the /usr/share/doc/syslog-ng/ directory and the man pages "syslog-ng" and "syslog-ng.conf". To update your installation, click on the "Install Cygwin now" link on the http://cygwin.com/ web page. This downloads setup.exe to your system. Then, run setup and answer all of the questions. *** CYGWIN-ANNOUNCE UNSUBSCRIBE INFO *** If you want to unsubscribe from the cygwin-announce mailing list, look at the "List-Unsubscribe: " tag in the email header of this message.
