Hi all,

I just wanted to let you know that we have found an issue with the
unixtimestamp formatting option in leap years. The problem started on
March, 1st and will persist till the end of the year. The timestamp is
one day in the past.

A patch is available here, it shall probably work with almost all
rsyslog versions:
  
https://github.com/rgerhards/rsyslog/commit/ffb321f1698a971e0acda48cafa97bb344cf0829

Full details can be found in this issue tracker:
   https://github.com/rsyslog/rsyslog/issues/830

Note that I will NOT release a 8.16.1 version for this fix. Usually, I
would have done so, but the 8.17.0 release is due next Tuesday and
will probably available as RC on friday. Given the fact that I would
need at least one additional day to craft 8.16.1, I don't think this
makes much sense.

Distro packages (and other users as well, of course) can apply
above-mentioned short patch. I actually suggest to do so, as this
problem exists, I think, in all versions supporting the
"unixtimestamp" formatting option (side-note: v5.8 does not have this
option).

Rainer
