+Status Report on RRDtool OSS Project
+====================================
+
+RRDtool work for 2007 is sponored by these companies:
+
+Gold Sponors:
+
+* GroundWork Open Source - IT Monitoring & Network Solutions
+ www.groundworkopensource.com
+
+* ZenOSS - Open Source Enterprise Monitoring
+ www.zenoss.com
+
+Silver Sponsors:
+
+* op5 - Systems and Network Monitoring
+* Host Europe - World Class Internet Hosting & Services
+* Contego Solutions - Managed Firewall, Managed VPN, and Secure Data Hosting
+
+Current Activities
+------------------
+
+* Code Maintenance. Mails on the mailing-lists and directly to me indicate
+ compatibility issues or suggest little changes. These are often implemented
+ directly.
+
+* Mailing-list, Web-server, Trac Maintenance. The on-line resources for
+ RRDtool are kept up-to-date, in working order and spam free.
+
+* Bug Fixing. Bugs reported through the Trac bug report form are
+ dealt with within a few days.
+
+* Planning for first RRDtool 1.3 implementation work.
+
+Accomplishments
+---------------
+* All on-line Resources migrated away from the University Resources
+ to http://oss.oetiker.ch and https://lists.oetiker.ch
+
+* RRD tutorial written and held at the LinuxForum.DK
+ http://www.linuxforum.dk/2007/program/saturday/Tobi_Oetiker.shtml
+
+* RRDtool 1.2.16, 1.2.17, 1.2.18, 1.2.19 released
+ https://lists.oetiker.ch/pipermail/rrd-announce/
+
+* Many small fixed in both the documentation and the graph code. The
+ stricter parsing introduced in 1.2.16 borough a number of odd coding
+ practices of RRDtool users to light.
+
+* Rewrote and stabilized the build process for the RRDtool python bindings
+ based on contributions form Zenoss.
+
+* Integrated patches for improved stability in multi-threaded environments.
+
+* Improved rrd_fetch behavior in situations where RRA coverage was not
+ complete.
+
+Planned Activities
+------------------
+
+* From April to June: Start on the implementation of the 1.3 features listed
+ in http://oss.oetiker.ch/rrdtool-trac/wiki/RRDtool13
+
+ The first order of work will be the switch from libart to cairo.
+
+* Maintenance of series 1.2.x

+
+* Implementation 1.3 release
+
+* Planning for 1.4 release
+
+Accomplishments
+---------------
+* RRDtool 1.3
+
+ * Migration form libart to Cairo/Pango is complete providing versatile
+ basis for graphical output.
+
+ - Improved stability
+ - PDF output with embeded TrueType fonts, equivalent to
+ what is seen in the standard PNG output.
+ - Anti-Aliasing can be disabled for 'rrdtool 1.0 look'
+ - Access to the standard font management system (fontconfig)
+ for access to a wide range of fonts.
+ - Inline markup, allowing font, color, size, boldness changes
+ in all text elements of the rrdtool output
+
+ Sample Output on http://oss.oetiker.ch/rrdtool-trac/wiki/RRDtool13
+
+ * Performance Improvements. Working with contributors, the RRDtool
+ data access was switched to MMAP. Together with appropriate madvise
+ settings this lead to a massively log-update-performance, coupled with
+ better much better cache management.
+
+ See http://oss.oetiker.ch/rrdtool-trac/wiki/TuningRRD
+
+ RRDtool 1.3 beta will be released for LinuxWorld 2007.
+
+* RRDtool 1.4
+
+ * Research into a portable dataformat for RRDtool has shown a promising
+ implementation strategy.
+
+ http://oss.oetiker.ch/rrdtool-trac/wiki/PortableRrdFormat
+
+
+* RRDtool 1.2.20, 1.2.21, 1.2.22, 1.2.23 released
+ https://lists.oetiker.ch/pipermail/rrd-announce/
+
+Planned Activities
+------------------
+
+* Release of RRDtool 1.3.0
+
+* Implementation of RRDtool 1.4 with a targeted released at LISA 2007 in November.
+
+ The main feature of the 1.4 release will the portable data format.
+

+* Beta Testing for 1.3 release
+
+* Planning for 1.4 release
+
+Accomplishments
+---------------
+* RRDtool 1.3
+
+ * At Linux World I have released the first BETA for RRDtool 1.3.
+
+ * Unfortunately there has not been all that much response to the Beta
+ release. Either it works for most who try or they are happy with what
+ they have. In any event I will release 1.3.0 before the years end,
+ probably followed by a rapid succession of updates as more people will
+ start using the 'real' update.
+
+ * People who have been testing the new release have seen dramatic
+ performance improvements with Linux 2.6. See also next section.
+
+* RRDtool 1.2.x
+
+ * Work presented by Dave Plonka at LISA 2007 suggests that Linux 2.6
+ read-a-head behavior is badly hurting RRDtool performance . Using
+ fadvise RANDOM it is possible to counteract this and provide a massive
+ performance boost. With this he was able to run an RRD setup with over
+ 200k RRDs updated in a 5 minute cycle. Other users have since confirmed
+ this.
+
+ Daves work is included in RRDtool 1.2.25 as well as 1.3beta.
+
+ http://www.usenix.org/event/lisa07/tech/plonka.html
+
+ * A long standing bug where the handling of min and max values in graphs
+ with min == max and max < 0 was resolved.
+
+
+* RRDtool 1.4
+
+ * The portable-data-format-release has been postponed to 2008 to allow 1.3
+ to properly stabilize. Current work is tracked on
+
+ http://oss.oetiker.ch/rrdtool-trac/wiki/PortableRrdFormat
+
+
+* RRDtool 1.2.24, 1.2.25, 1.2.26 released

+Status Report on the RRDtool OSS Project
+========================================
+Author: Tobias Oetiker
+Date: 2008-11-24
+$Id$
+
+
+Accomplishments
+---------------
+
+* RRDtool 1.3
+
+ * The new major version has been released in early summer, containing
+ major updates to both the database and the graphing layer.
+
+ * Subsequent releases of the 1.3.x series focused on stability, backward
+ compatibility and performance improvements.
+
+* RRDtool 1.2.x
+
+ * Several minor stability and portability issues have been addressed
+ with new minor releases. The 1.2 series remains the most widely
+ used version of RRDtool since it is present in a wide variety of
+ Linux distributions.
+
+* Development of RRDtool 1.4
+
+ With the release of RRDtool 1.3 trunk was opened for work on RRDtool 1.4.
+ New features include:
+
+ - RRDcached aiming at massive performance enhancements for large
+ installations with hundreds of thousands of RRD files.
+
+ - SQL database access for RRDtool graph. This allows to use RRDtool's
+ excellent graphing capabilities on time series data
+ acquired directly from a SQL database (through libdbi).
+
+ RRDtool 1.4 is in a stabilization phase now, prior to release of the
+ first release candidates in early 2009.
+
+
+Other Ongoing Activities
+------------------------
+
+* Code Maintenance: mails on the mailing-lists and directly to me
+ indicate compatibility issues or suggest little changes. These are
+ often implemented immediately.
+
+* Mailing-list, Web-server, Trac maintenance. The on-line resources
+ for RRDtool are kept up-to-date, in working order and spam free.
+
+* Several tutorials and Bofs on RRDtool at LISA 2009 (conference on
+ Large Installation System Administration, Nov 2008, San Diego, U.S.)
+
+* Run-up for RRDtool 1.4 release in 2009
+
+* Fully automated and minimally tested nightly releases of the 1.2, 1.3 and
+ trunk code.
+
+
+Planned Activities
+------------------
+
+* Release of RRDtool 1.4.0
+
+* Continued support for 1.2.x, 1.3.x
+
+* Development of RRDtool 1.5
+
+ The major feature of 1.5 will be the portable data format that allows to
+ read and write rrd files across all platforms where rrdtool is supported.
+ Preliminary information about this feature can be found in
+
+ http://oss.oetiker.ch/rrdtool-trac/wiki/PortableRrdFormat
