Fluentd v0.10.53 is released

Hi users!

We have just released Fluentd version 0.10.53.
Here are the changes:

• in_tail: Fix forget to detach Closer timer object: #394
• in_debug_agent: Fix config_param type of unix_path: #392
• in_syslog: Add includesourcehost and sourcehostKey options: #391
• config: Dump V1 escaped parameter correctly at start phase: #389
• config: Fix bug for config_param of bool value without defaults: #410
• config: Add 'alias' option to config_section and config_param: #402
• buffer: Add 'disable_retry_limit' option: #415
• engine: Reduce memory usage when retry_limit is large: #388
• parser: Add apache_error format: #396
• supervisor: Dump Fluentd version at dry run mode: #384
• test: InputTestDriver wait 'run' until input plugin emits all test data: #397

This release fixed several bugs and added several useful options.

apache_error format

Fluentd parser provides apache_error format as a built-in. Some users collect Apache error logs using Fluentd on production, so supporting this format seems useful for other users.

disable_retry_limit option

This is for buffered output plugins. If you set disable_retry_limit to true, output tries to retry forever and <secondary> is never called.

You can simulate same behaviour using very large value with retry_limit but disable_retry_limit is more clear.

Started v0.12 development in master branch

After released v0.10.53, master branch is now for v0.12.
We are now developing Filter and Label feature on this PR.

If you have v0.10 specific problem, please send PR to v0.10 branch or open an issue with v0.10 label.

Happy logging!
