+ 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.

This version introduces significant changes to the layout of the RRD files
created by collectd. In order to keep your old data you have to migrate it.
"rrdtool" and "syslog" plugins (enabled by default) and enable and configure
the network plugin. See collectd.conf(5) for details.
+ This also means that a single configuration file is sufficient and there are
+ no longer any different modes that need to be configured. The init script
+ does no longer start one collectd process for each config file found in
+ /etc/collectd/ but only for collectd.conf.
+
Additionally, the syntax of the configuration file has changed slightly. All
strings need to be surrounded by double quotes. See collectd.conf(5) for
details.

+ Please note that there is no longer the need to load any plugins on the
+ server side just to be able to save values submitted by clients. All
+ required information are automatically loaded by collectd. You only need to
+ load plugins which are supposed to collect data locally.
