-collectd (4.0.1-1) experimental; urgency=low
+collectd (5.1.0-1) unstable; urgency=low
+
+ Version 5 of collectd introduced a couple of backward-incompatible changes.
+ The full list of changes is documented in the collectd wiki found at
+ <http://collectd.org/wiki/index.php/V4_to_v5_migration_guide>.
+
+ In a client / server setups it's generally advised to upgrade the server
+ first. By using the v5_upgrade target plugin, the v5 server will be able to
+ receive and process data sent by v4 clients. This allows one to upgrade the
+ clients at an arbitrary later date. See the wiki for details.
+
+ The layout of various RRD files has changed. In order to keep your old data
+ you have to migrate it. This can be done by using /usr/lib/collectd/utils/
+ migrate-4-5.px. The script will output a series of shell commands that
+ should do all the work automatically. However, depending on your setup, a
+ couple of minor changes might be necessary to migrate all of your data. In
+ this case, please file a bug report so that the necessary changes can be
+ added to the script. The script will modify the RRD files in place.
+
+ Thus, the migration can be done like this (you might want to backup your
+ data before):
+
+ /usr/lib/collectd/utils/migrate-4-5.px -indir /var/lib/collectd/rrd/ \
+ > migrate-4-5.sh
+ vim migrate-4-5.sh # verify / adapt the script
+ bash migrate-4-5.sh
+
+ Also, the syntax of some plugin configuration blocks has changed. See the
+ wiki for details and instructions how to update your configuration.

+collectd (4.2.0-1) experimental; urgency=low
+
+ Prior to this version any plugin that has dependencies other than libc6 got
+ its own binary package. As the number of such packages was getting quite big
+ they have been merged into the "collectd" binary package and all plugin
+ dependencies were added as recommendations. See
+ /usr/share/doc/collectd-core/README.Debian.plugins for details.
