Fluentd v0.10.51 is released

Hi users!

We have just released Fluentd version 0.10.51.
Here are the changes:

• in_tail: Fix rotation handling when new file not found: #373
• in_syslog: Change debug log level to warn at pattern mismatch: #372
• formatter: Use localtime by default: #367
• parser: Add SyslogParser: #372
• parser: Add estimate_current_event attribute to TextParsers not to set current time into parse result: #370
• config: Add <system> section to set core parameters via configuration file: #365
• test: Support v1 configuration in TestDriver: #371
• Add udp and tcp input plugins: #368

This release adds UDP and TCP input plugins. You can send text logs to Fluentd via these protocols :)

And configuration file now supports <system> section to set core parameters.

<system>
  log_level warn
</system>

<source>
  ...
</source>

Here are current supported parameters.

• log_level
• suppress_repeated_stacktrace
• emit_error_log_interval
• suppress_config_dump

<system> has a priority over command line option. So if you set -vv and log_level error, then -vv is ignored.
This is easier than managing command line option on td-agent or other tools.

Happy logging!
