+rsyslog (8.2310.0-3) unstable; urgency=medium
+
+ The sandboxing features enabled in 8.2310.0-1, specifically
+ PrivateDevices=yes, broke the forwarding of messages to /dev/xconsole.
+ It is thus recommended to move the named pipe to /run/ and make
+ /dev/xconsole a symlink pointing at /run/xconsole.
+ The example files /usr/share/doc/rsyslog/examples/tmpfiles.d/xconsole.conf
+ and /usr/share/doc/rsyslog/examples/rsyslog.d/xconsole.conf haven been
+ updated to reflect this new setup.
+ If you have forwarding to xconsole enabled, please update your local
+ configuration in /etc/rsyslog.d and /etc/tmpfiles.d accordingly.

+rsyslog (8.2310.0-1) unstable; urgency=medium
+
+ Enable various systemd sandboxing and security hardening features in
+ rsyslog.service.
+
+ The command "systemd-analyze security rsyslog.service" provides an overview
+ of the active security and sandboxing settings.
+
+ Should you run a custom setup which is broken by those changes, you can
+ disable individual settings by creating a drop-in config file for
+ rsyslog.service via "systemctl edit rsyslog.service".
+
+ See also "man capabilities" and "man systemd.exec".

+rsyslog (5.8.1-1) unstable; urgency=low
+
+ The way rsyslog processes SIGHUP has changed. It no longer does a reload
+ of its configuration, but simply closes all open files, which is a much more
+ lightweight operation.
+ To apply a changed configuration, rsyslogd needs to be restarted now.
+ As a consequence, the reload action has been dropped from the init script.
+
+ A new action called "rotate" was added to the init script, which signals
+ rsyslogd to close all open files. This new action is used in the rsyslog
+ logrotate configuration file.
+
