List of noteworthy changes in this release: * New configuration keywords ** sigterm SIG Available for use in "component" sections. This statement defines signal which pies should send to the running component instance in order to terminate it. Defaults to SIGTERM. * Correct component shutdown sequence The shutdown sequence is determined taking into account dependencies between components, so that each component is stopped before components it depends on. * Fallback log file Fallback log file is a place where pies writes out of band log messages, i.e. messages about not being able to open syslog socket or send logs to it. Regular log messages are diverted to this file if syslog was requested, but cannot be used because of a permanent error. * Bugfixes ** Fix the operation of "piesctl config reload" ** Fix configuration preprocessing. ** Various fixes in REST API server. Best regards, Sergey
