+
+2008-03-29, Version 4.3.2

+
+2008-03-05, Version 4.3.1

+ * network plugin:
+ + Use `memcpy' when constructing/parsing a package to avoid
+ alignment problems on weird architectures, such as Sparc.
+ + Translate doubles to/from the x86 byte representation to ensure

+ * swap plugin: Reapply a patch for Solaris.
+ * tcpconns plugin: Portability improvements.
+
+2008-02-18, Version 4.3.0
+ * collectd: Notifications have been added to the daemon. Notifications
+ are status messages that may be associated with a data instance.
+ * collectd: Threshold checking has been added to the daemon. This
+ means that you can configure threshold values for each data
+ instance. If this threshold is exceeded a notification will be
+ created.
+ * collectd: The new `FQDNLookup' option tells the daemon to use the
+ full qualified domain name as the hostname, not just the host part
+ es returned by `gethostname(2)'.
+ * collectd: Support for more than one `TypesDB' file has been added.
+ This is useful when one such file is included in a package but one
+ wants to add custom type definitions.
+ * collectd: The `Include' config option has been expanded to handle
+ entire directories and shell wildcards.
+ * collectdmon: The new `collectdmon' binary detects when collectd
+ terminates and automatically restarts it again.
+ * csv plugin: The CSV plugin is now able to store counter values as a
+ rate, using the `StoreRates' configuration option.
+ * exec plugin: Handling of notifications has been added and the
+ ability to pass arguments to the executed programs has been added.
+ * hddtemp plugin: The new `TranslateDevicename' option lets you
+ disable the translation from device names to major-minor-numbers.
+ * logfile plugin: Handling of notifications has been added.
+ * ntpd plugin: The new `ReverseLookups' can be used to disable reverse
+ domain name lookups in this plugin.
+ * perl plugin: Many internal changes added support for handling multiple
+ threads making the plugin reasonably usable inside collectd. The API has
+ been extended to support notifications and export global variables to
+ Perl plugins; callbacks now have to be identified by name rather than a
+ pointer to a subroutine. The plugin is no longer experimental.
+ * uuid plugin: The new UUID plugin sets the hostname to an unique
+ identifier for this host. This is meant for setups where each client
+ may migrate to another physical host, possibly going through one or
+ more name changes in the process. Thanks to Richard Jones from
+ Red Hat's Emerging Technology group for this plugin.
+ * libvirt: The new libvirt plugin uses the `libvirt' library to query
+ CPU, disk and network statistics about guest systems on the same
+ physical server. Thanks to Richard Jones from Red Hat's Emerging
+ Technology group for this plugin.
+
+2008-04-22, Version 4.2.7
+ * build system: Improved detection of several libraries, especially if
+ they are in non-standard paths.
+ * build system: Portability fixes: Automatically define "_REENTRANT"
+ if the libc expects it.
+ * collectd: Error and warning messages have been improved.
+ * collectd: Check for the BYTE_ORDER and BIG_ENDIAN defines before
+ using them.
+ * apache plugin: Allocate new memory when reading a webpage instead of
+ using a buffer of static size.
+ * exec plugin: Close (almost) all filedescriptors before exec(2)ing
+ the program.
+ * hddtemp plugin: Error and warning messages have been improved.
+ * sensors plugin: Fix sensor collection for some chip types.
+
+2008-03-29, Version 4.2.6
+ * collectd: Improved error messages when parsing the configuration.
+ * sensors plugin: Fix temperature collection with libsensors4.
+ * unixsock plugin: Fix mixed input and output operation on streams.
+ * wireless plugin: Fix reading noise value.
+
+2008-03-04, Version 4.2.5
+ * apache plugin: Improved initialization and error messages.
+ * exec plugin: Set supplementary group IDs.
+ * network plugin:
+ + Create separate threads for reading from the socket and parsing
+ and dispatching incoming packets. Versions prior to this may have
+ problems in high-load situations, where the socket receive buffers
+ overflows, resulting in gaps in the data.
+ + Use `memcpy' when constructing/parsing a package to avoid
+ alignment problems on weird architectures, such as Sparc.
+ + Translate doubles to/from the x86 byte representation to ensure
+ cross-platform compatibility.
+ * ping plugin: Correct the handling of the `TTL' setting.
+ * rrdtool plugin: Ensure correct handling of the `RRATimespan' option.
+ * swap plugin: Reapply a patch for Solaris.
+ * tcpconns plugin: Portability improvements.
+
+2008-01-21, Version 4.2.4
+ * unixsock plugin: A bug in the unixsock plugin caused it not to set
+ the permission on the socket as documented in the manpage. Thanks to
+ Evgeny Chukreev for fixing this issue.
+ * collectd: The documentation has been improved.
+
+2007-12-28, Version 4.2.3
+ * sensors plugin: Updated the plugin to build and work with version 3
+ of the libsensors library.
+
+2007-12-15, Version 4.2.2
+ * nginx plugin: Incorrect comparison of strings lead to a segfault
+ when using the plugin. Thanks to Saulius Grigaliunas for fixing
+ this.
+ * logfile plugin: The config option `Timestamp' was handled
+ incorrectly and basically always active. Thanks to Luke Heberling
+ for fixing this.
+
+2007-11-08, Version 4.2.1
+ * tcpconns plugin: Don't complain about a missing file if IPv6 is not
+ enabled on the host.
+ * snmp plugin: Fix a memory leak.
+
2007-10-27, Version 4.2.0
* collectd: The new config option `Include' lets you include other
configfiles and thus split up your config into smaller parts. This
to see how many connections your FTP server has to handle or how
many outgoing connections your mailserver has open.
+2008-01-11, Version 4.1.6
+ * unixsock plugin: A bug in the unixsock plugin caused it not to set
+ the permission on the socket as documented in the manpage. Thanks to
+ Evgeny Chukreev for fixing this issue.
+ * collectd: The documentation has been improved.
+
+2007-12-27, Version 4.1.5
+ * rrdtool plugin: Fix a memory leak that only occurred in very-low-
+ memory situations.
+ * sensors plugin: Updated the plugin to build and work with version 3
+ of the libsensors library.
+
+2007-11-08, Version 4.1.4
+ * Build system: Improve detection of the rrd library, especially if
+ it's in a non-standard location.
+ * Build system: A bug when parsing the argument for
+ `--with-libnetsnmp' has been fixed.
+ * collectd: Implement `strerror_r' if the libc doesn't provide it.
+ * rrdtool plugin: Fix a bug in the shutdown sequence that might cause
+ a deadlock or delay when shutting down the daemon.
+ * snmp plugin: Fix a memory leak.
+
2007-10-24, Version 4.1.3
* collectd: A build issue under Solaris has been resolved by renaming
data types.
