also since 6.1.2 there has been a bunch of work on the imfile module, a
number of bug fixes, but also it gained the ability to deal with some
multi-line logs in files, combining the lines into one log entry before
processing the log message.
Rainer did the heavy debugging work and I contributed the multi-line
capibility
I think this was announced as part of a 5.x release, but in the 6.x tree
this is the first release with these changes.

Hi all,
We have just released rsyslog 6.1.3, the new v6-devel.
This release brings a number of enhancements.
First of all, it provides exciting new functionality in the form or an
experimental MongoDB output plugin and various message parsers. The latter
greatly increases rsyslog's ability to common malformed syslog message
formats. Also, ommysql now allows a much more fine-grained control over MySQL
settings.
Then, a number of performance enhancements are made available: both imtcp and
imptcp have an optimized code based and imptcp has been enhanced to be able
to run multiple input threads concurrently (the same is planned for imtcp in
the not so distant future). Also, imdup has now the capability to run at
real-time priority, which greatly reduces the chance of message loss.
Finally, there are a couple of bug fixes inside this release.
We are especially proud that some of the important new features were
contributed code: David Lang contributed the message parsers, Victor Pereira
the experimental MongoDB module, Dra?en Ka?ar the imudp realtime-support and
Ariel P. the enhancements for ommysql. Many thanks to all of you!
Please see the ChangeLog for more details.
