I just published a new release of
[Snuffleupagus](https://github.com/jvoisin/snuffleupagus/releases/tag/v0.5.1),
the `0.5.1`, codename "Order of the Elephant", named after Denmark's
[highest-ranked honour]( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_the_Elephant ).

From now on, releases are signed with my [personal key](https://dustri.org/pub/pubkey.asc),
instead of the *NBS System* one (`498C46FF087EDC36E7EAF9D445414A82A9B22D78`).

This minor release has only one new feature: the ability to log events directly to your syslog.
The rest of the changes are either bugfixes, portability changes, tests improvements,
documentation tweaks, and php7.4 compatibility ironings.

# Changelog

* Add support for syslog
* Improve OSX support
* Improve marginally of php8+ compatibility
* Improve php7.4 compatibility
* Improve the default ruleset
* Improve the documentation
* Improve the gitlab CI

# Logging improvements

There is now a `sp.log_media` directive, taking either `php` or `syslog` as argument.
It allows to ensure that Snuffleupagus will log into syslog, regardless
of the underlying php configuration.

As usual, if you want to help, we have some [low hanging fruits](

See you in your PHP stack!
