- Add SUSE support
- Clean up travis configuration
- Removed support for Chef Solo. Since this cookbook now supports Chef 12+ only it makes far more sense to use Chef Zero (local mode) if a Chef server is not available.
- Removed yum from the Berksfile as it wasn't being used
- Fixed bad variables being passed in the file_input custom resource
- Added Chefspec matchers
- Breaking change: The file_input LWRP has been updated to be a Chef 12.5 custom_resource, with backwards compatibility to all Chef 12.x released provided by compat_resource. Additionally the 'source' and 'cookbook' attributes in the file_input resource have been renamed to 'template_source' and 'cookbook_source' to prevent failures.
- Helpers for determining the service provider on Ubuntu have been removed since Chef 12 does the right thing with Init, Upstart, and systemd.

- Sync the comments in the rsyslog.conf file with the latest upstream rsyslog release
- Change emerg to log to :omusrmsg: vs. on modern rsyslog releases to avoid deprecation warnings
Note: This version includes several breaking changes for Ubuntu users. Be sure to take care when deploying these changes to production systems.
- 49-relp.conf now properly uses the list of servers discovered in the client recipe
- Fixed a typo that prevented file-input.conf from properly templating
- Added allow_non_local attribute to allow non-local messages. This defaults to false, which preserves the previous functionality
- The rsyslog directory permissions are now properly set using the user/group attributes instead of root/root
- Properly drop permissions on Ubuntu systems to syslog/syslog. Introduces 2 new attributes to control the user/group: priv_user and priv_group
- Remove logging to /dev/xconsole in 50-default.conf on Ubuntu systems. This is generally not something you'd want to do and produces error messages at startup.

- Updated RHEL / Fedora facilities to match those shipped by the distros
- Updated modules to match those used by journald (systemd) on Fedora 19+ and CentOS 7
