Hi!
Continuing the bug chasing game. Last release was 3 weeks ago and we
got a few new reports since, so here's 1.5.2.
It fixes two major issues :
- one involving a few sample fetch functions which when combined in
certain ways in some expressions, can return crap, with even one
artificial case capable of crashing the process.
- the second bug was introduced in 1.5-dev23 when fixing the request
body forwarding code. One anomaly was left causing hash-based load
balancing and http-send-name-header to fail for requests which
contain a body which starts to be forwarded before the data is
used.
A few other less serious, mostly annoying bugs were fixed.
The maximum syslog line length is now configurable, both at build time
(MAX_SYSLOG_LEN) and per logger using the optional "len" argument.
Due to the two important bugs above, it's recommended to upgrade.
