[v2.0][UNRELEASED]
------------------
This release represents a major refresh of the sysklogd project. The
venerable syslogd gets an infusion of new blood from NetBSD and FreeBSD
to fully support RFC3164 and RFC5424. Also included is a user library
and a replacement for `syslog.h` to enable new features in RFC5424.
### Changes
- Added support for `;RFC5424` flag for sending to remote servers. This
enables sending log messages in its newfangled format, with RFC3339
style timestamps, and more
- Added new tool `logger` from the Finit project, BSD licensed
- Support for true RFC3164 formatted log messages to remote log servers,
including timestamp and hostname. Use `;RFC3161` rule option
- Support for RFC5424 from UNIX domain socket, from remote servers and
also to remote servers. Requires new API `syslogp()` to unlock the
new features. Still compatible with GLIBC/musl/uClibc
- Support for options to `syslog.conf` rules. E.g. `;RFC5424` to enable
sending/writing log messages with RFC3339 style timestamps, and more
- Support for `include /etc/syslog.d/*.conf` in `syslog.conf`
- Support for reading from a custom UNIX domain socket path, `-p SOCK`,
for unit testing with `logger -u /path/to/sock`
- Support for sending to a custom port on a remote server, `@host:port`
- New tool `logger` from the Finit project, BSD licensed
- New `syslogp()` API from NetBSD, for applications wanting to use
RFC5424 features like MsgID or structured data
- Incompatible changes to command line options for `syslogd` and
`klogd`, e.g;
- In syslogd: `-b` and `-c` have been replaced with `-R` for global
log rotation, `-a` has been replaced with the new `-p` support
- In klogd: `-i` and `-I` have been removed
- Update COPYING file to GPL 2 rev 2, with new FSF address and other minor stuff
- Update license header in all files:
- Sync 3-clause BSD license change with upstream FreeBSD sources
- Sync 3-clause BSD license change with upstream NetBSD and FreeBSD sources
- Sync GPL license header, new FSF address
- Add SPDX license identifiers to all source files
### Fixes
- Fix GCC 8 warnings; "too small destination buffer in `snprintf()`"
- Major code cleanup and rewrite inspired by both NetBSD and FreeBSD
sources, e.g. removed all previous unit `TESTING` #ifdefs

[v1.4.1][] - 2001-03-11
-----------------------
- klogd will set the console log level only if `-c' is given on the
commandline, not overwriting local settings in `/etc/sysctl.conf'.
- Bugfix: klogd will use SOCK_DGRM as well, re-enables kernel logging
