+Version 7.2.1  [v7-stable] 2012-10-29
+- bugfix: ruleset()-object did only support a single statement
+- added -D rsyslogd option to enable config parser debug mode
+- improved syntax error messages by outputting the error token
+- the rsyslog core now suspeneds actions after 10 failures in a row
+  This was former the case after 1,000 failures and could cause rsyslog
+  to be spammed/ressources misused. See the v6 compatibility doc for more
+  details.
+- ommongodb rate-limits error messages to prevent spamming the syslog
+  closes (for v7.2): http://bugzilla.adiscon.com/show_bug.cgi?id=366

+<h2>Retries of output plugins that do not do proper replies</h2>
+<p>Some output plugins may not be able to detect if their target is capable of
+accepting data again after an error (technically, they always return OK when
+TryResume is called). Previously, the rsyslog core engine suspended such an action
+after 1000 succesive failures. This lead to potentially a large amount of
+errors and error messages. Starting with 7.2.1, this has been reduced to 10
+successive failures. This still gives the plugin a chance to recover. In extreme
+cases, a plugin may now enter suspend mode where it previously did not do so.
+In practice, we do NOT expect that.
