Hi all, 
 
We have released rsyslog 4.1.0 today. This is the initial development branch version of the upcoming v4 series. The main theme is performance enhancement, 4.1.0 contains many enhancements which make the engine process many more events per second than the previous versions. This was made possible thanks to large changes inside the rsyslog core, and consequently there is ample room for bugs. So this version should be used with care. Note that it also contains some additional bugfixes and small feature enhancements which are not found in other versions. 
 
Please report any issue you see when working with that version. We are especially interested in any anomaly on IPv6 enabled systems without IPv6 addresses. There is a problem report for such an environment, which we could not yet reproduce. 
 
In case you wonder: there is no explicit schedule for the first v4-stable version. But expect it no earlier than February 2009.
