[v2.8.0][] - 2026-10-15
-----------------------

### Changes
- Add `pri` action option, e.g. `*.* /var/log/messages ;pri`, to always print
  the message priority in the header, in the format in use (RFC3164 or
  RFC5424).  By Gavin D. Howard.  The NetBSD-style `+` destination prefix is
  an equivalent alternative, e.g. `*.* +/var/log/messages`, and combines with
  the `-` no-sync prefix as `+-`
- Add `hostname=NAME` action option to replace the hostname in messages
  logged by that action, e.g. to forward under a fixed name from a system
  whose hostname changes
- Add `sd=[SD-ELEMENT]` action option to append a structured data element
  to every message logged by that action.  RFC5424 format only
- `logger` now parses a leading `<LEVEL>` (PRI) in input messages, e.g. for
  systemd-style `daemon --foreground 2>&1 | logger` redirection
- Add security policy for reporting vulnerabilities

### Fixes
- Fix #105: UTF-8 handling with the `-8` flag.  Multi-byte sequences, e.g.,
  em-dash, were corrupted by byte-by-byte sanitization; complete valid UTF-8
  sequences are now preserved, including the RFC 5424 BOM
- Unescape Linux `/dev/kmsg` C-style `\xHH` encoding before sanitization, so
  UTF-8 in kernel messages is preserved with the `-8` flag
- Fix #104: RFC 3164 tag parsing of parenthesized tags.  Surrounding parens are
  stripped from complete tags, `(polkit-agent):` becomes `polkit-agent`, while
  partial tags like `app(version):` are preserved
- `logger`: fix evaluation order violation, found by Coverity Scan
