This works well in previous versions to the 1.0.15:

-------------------------------------------------
/var/log/tinc.log {
  missingok
  rotate 7
  daily
  copytruncate
  create 0640 root root
  postrotate
    kill -HUP `cat /var/run/tinc.pid`
  endscript
}
-------------------------------------------------

With the "copytruncate" option.


Best regards,
