Version 4.10.1 is a bugfix release, not needed by most users. It fixes the syslog-ng container and platform support in some less common situations.

Before you begin

I assume that most people are lazy and/or overbooked, just like me. So, if you already have syslog-ng 4.10.0 up and running, and packaged for your platform, just skip this bugfix release.

What is fixed?

• You can now compile syslog-ng on FreeBSD 15 again.
• The syslog-ng container has Python support working again.
• Stackdump support compiles only on glibc Linux systems, but it also used to be enabled on others when libunwind was present. This problem affected embedded Linux systems using alternative libc implementations like OpenWRT and Gentoo in some cases. It is now turned off by default, therefore it needs to be explicitly enabled.

What is next?

If you are switching to 4.10.X now, using 4.10.1 might spare you some extra debugging. Especially if you are developing for an embedded system.
