+++ b/ChangeLog
+yyyy-mm-dd, 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
+ may be especially interresting for the snmp plugin to keep the data
+ definitions seperate from the host definitions.
+ * perl plugin: Many changes, including the added `EnableDebugger'
+ config option which lets you debug your Perl plugins more easily.
+ * snmp plugin: Added the options `Scale' and `Shift' to Data-blocks to
+ correct the values returned by SNMP-agents.
+ * ipvs plugin: The new `ipvs' plugin collects IPVS connection statistics
+ (number of connections, octets and packets for each service and
+ destination).
+ * rrdtool plugin: Use the threadsafe RRD-library if available. Try to
+ be more threadsafe otherwise by locking calls to the library.
+ * memcached plugin: The new `memcached' plugin connects to a memcached
+ daemon process and collects statistics of this distributed caching
+ system. Thanks to Antony Dovgal for contributing this plugin.
+
+2007-10-24, Version 4.1.3
+ * collectd: A build issue under Solaris has been resolved by renaming
+ data types.
+ * rrdtool plugin: Use the threadsafe RRD-library if available. Try to
+ be more threadsafe otherwise by locking calls to the library.
+
+2007-09-28, Version 4.1.2
+ * apcups plugin: Fix reporting of the `load percent' data.
+ * wireless plugin: Correct the handling of cards returning signal and
+ noise quality as percentage.
+ * perl plugin: Fix a possible buffer overflow in get_module_name().
+ * build system: Further improve the detection of libraries.
+ * netlink plugin: Build issues under some older versions of the Linux
+ includes (i. e. Debian Sarge) have been fixed.
+ * snmp plugin: Fix a potential segfault when a host times out. Add
+ support for the `timeticks' type.
+
+2007-09-12, Version 4.1.1
+ * Build system: The detection of `libnetlink' has been improved.
+ * collectd: The documentation has been fixed in numerous places.
+ * exec plugin: Setting the group under which to run a program has been
+ fixed.
+ * collectd: The `sstrerror' function was improved to work correctly
+ with the broken GNU version of `strerror_r'.
+ * collectd: Write an error message to STDERR when loading of a plugin
+ fails.
+ * apcups plugin: Fix the `types' used to submit the values: They still
+ has an `apcups_' prefix which doesn't work anymore.
+ * rrdtool plugin: Create new RRD-files with the `begin' time set to
+ whatever the client thinks is `now'..
+
+2007-09-01, Version 4.1.0
+ * Build system: The build system has been changed to automatically
+ disable all plugins, which are missing dependencies. The dependency
+ checking has been removed from the plugins themselves to remove
+ redundancy.
+ * Flexible interval: The interval of collected data is now sent along
+ with the data itself over the network, so that the interval-settings
+ of server and clients no longer needs to match.
+ * netlink plugin: The new `netlink' plugin connects to the Linux
+ kernel using a netlink socket and uses it to query information about
+ interfaces, qdiscs and classes.
+ * rrdtool plugin: The cache is now dumped to disk in an extra thread
+ to not block data collection.
+ * snmp plugin: The new `snmp' plugin can read values from SNMP enabled
+ network devices, such as switches, routers, thermometers, rack
+ monitoring servers, etc. The collectd-snmp(5) manpage documents this
+ plugin.
+ * unixsock plugin: Added the `LISTVAL' command.
+ * xmms plugin: The new `xmms' plugin graphs the bitrate and frequency
+ of music played with xmms.
+
+2007-09-28, Version 4.0.9
+ * apcups plugin: Fix reporting of the `load percent' data.
+ * wireless plugin: Correct the handling of cards returning signal and
+ noise quality as percentage.
+ * perl plugin: Fix a possible buffer overflow in get_module_name().
+
+2007-09-12, Version 4.0.8
+ * collectd: The `sstrerror' function was improved to work correctly
+ with the broken GNU version of `strerror_r'.
+ * collectd: Write an error message to STDERR when loading of a plugin
+ fails.
+ * apcups plugin: Fix the `types' used to submit the values: They still
+ has an `apcups_' prefix which doesn't work anymore.
+ * rrdtool plugin: Create new RRD-files with the `begin' time set to
+ whatever the client thinks is `now'..
+
+2007-08-26, Version 4.0.7
+ * documentation: Some typos have been fixed and some information has
+ been improved.
+ * build system: Many fixes for detecting libraries in unusual places,
+ such as on RedHat systems. The affected libraries are `libcurl',
+ `libmysql', and `libupsclient'.
+ * network plugin: Allow the `Port' option to be specified as a number
+ (i. e. without quotes).
+ * nut plugin: A fix allows linking the nut plugin against
+ libupsclient, version >= 2.2.0.
+ * processes plugin: Fix a potential segmentation fault.
+
2007-07-30, Version 4.0.6
* sensors plugin: Fix the ignorelist functionality: Only the `type
instance' was used to match against the list, but the documentation
told otherwise. This release fixes the code, so it complies with the
documentation.
+ * syslog plugin: Call `openlog' right when the plugin is loaded, so
+ configuration messages will end up in the logging facility.
+ * conrtib/fedora: The contributed specfile for Fedora has been
+ updated.
2007-07-05, Version 4.0.5
* Portability: More fixes for OpenBSD have been included.
