+2008-10-16, Version 4.5.1
+ * build system: Change `--enable-<plugin>' to abort with an error if
+ dependencies are not met. Thanks to Bruno Prémont for the patch.
+ Also, the poisoning of various string functions has been restricted
+ to debug builds.
+ * collectd: Fix a memory leak in the global value cache. With every
+ *missing* value a couple of bytes would be leaked. Another memory
+ leak in the configuration handling code has been fixed. Thanks to
+ Niraj Tolia for reporting these issues.
+ * collectd: Fix an off-by-one error in the ignorelist functionality.
+ When using regular expressions, the last character would be missing,
+ possibly matching differently from what one would expect.
+ * collectdmon: Don't block SIGCHLD. This fixes a potential portability
+ problem.
+ * collectd-nagios: Fix handling of the `-d' option. Thanks to Fabian
+ Linzberger for reporting the bug.
+ * iptables plugin: Fix an off-by-one error. If a string was just one
+ character too long, it was truncated instead of reporting an error.
+ * network plugin: Fix a memory leak in the configuration handling
+ code. Thanks to Niraj Tolia for reporting this issue.
+ * perl plugin: Log an error message if bootstrapping `Collectd' fails.
+ * postgresql plugin: Don't reopen connection during reinitialization.
+ This fixes a bug under Solaris and potentially other platforms.
+ Missing calls to `PQclear' have been added, too. This fixes memory
+ leaks. Thanks to ``Admin'' for reporting these bugs.
+ * snmp plugin: Don't expect null-terminated strings from the Net-SNMP
+ library.
+ * tail plugin: Call `clearerr(3)' after reading an EOF. This fixes
+ problems with some `libc's. Thanks to Matthias Lay for reporting the
+ bug.
+

+ introduced.

+ IO load.
+ * tcpconns plugin: This plugin has been ported to OpenBSD.
+ * thermal plugin: The new thermal plugin collects system temperatures
+ using Linux ACPI thermal zone data.
