  "textContent": "OpenSSL 4.0 was released just over a month ago. So, how is its support progressing in syslog-ng? Well, Git master already supports it, and the patch is easy to backport to earlier releases. At the same time, version 4.12 will support OpenSSL 4.0 out of the box.\n\nA month ago, someone from Gentoo Linux reached out to the syslog-ng team about OpenSSL 4.0 support. I asked the community about their expectations, knowing that version 4.0 is not an LTS version. However, I quickly learned that all major distros were preparing to use it in their rolling development versions. A few days later, we also received hints on how to add support for it in syslog-ng. And thus, a PR was born, which is now merged into syslog-ng git master.\n\nWhat does this mean for you?\n\n  * If you need OpenSSL 4.0 support RIGHT NOW using a RELEASED syslog-ng version, then use syslog-ng 4.11 and the related pull request from https://github.com/syslog-ng/syslog-ng/pull/5688\n  * Use the latest syslog-ng git snapshot, as the above PR is already merged.\n  * Wait a few more weeks, as syslog-ng 4.12 will be released soon with OpenSSL 4.0 support.\n\n\n\n#### syslog-ng logo\n\nOriginally published at https://www.syslog-ng.com/community/b/blog/posts/the-status-of-openssl-4-0-support-in-syslog-ng",
