2.2.131 Jan 2021 17:45 minor feature: Liunx sends EPIPE when reading from /dev/kmsg if the kernel internal buffers are overrun. EPIPE is a heads-up message to. Userspace that at least one log message has been lost. Usually caused by a too small CONFIG_LOG_BUF_SHIFT value. sysklogd v2.2.0 treated the descriptor as faulty and it. The is to log the event and restart polling for more messages. Linux log messages read from /dev/kmsg are formatted in a different way than its predecessor /proc/kmsg. sysklogd v2.2.0 failed to parse the priority field correctly, which caused matching problems with rules in /etc/syslog.conf. Restore default install pre, from / to /usr/local, which is the default for GNU configure based applications. Drop m gnuism from internal log macro (portability). Logger: drop extra error message string, on error logging to a file.

Assert() in fprintlog_successive(), caused by never being reset in fprintlog_first(), found by @westermo.

2.0.125 Nov 2019 13:14 minor bugfix: Adds missing -k and -T command line flags to getopt(). Fix heuristic for determining PID file path, using configure defaults. Also, logger tool can now be disabled in build.
