+         added. Thanks to Carlos Vicente. #1472, #2488
+       * SNMP Agent plugin: This new plugin implements an SNMP AgentX subagent

+         instead of "/proc/stat". Update for Linux and AIX, uptime is read
+         directly using a system call. Update for BSD and Solaris, uptime is
+         calculated by subtracting boot time from current time. Thanks to Ivan
+         Kurnosov and Marcin Jurkowski. #2431, #2034
+       * UUID plugin: Support for libhal has been removed. Thanks to Ruben

+         (affinity), file system, and job statistics. Thanks to Francesco
+         Romani and Przemyslaw Szczerbik. #2103, #2175, #2168
+       * Write Graphite plugin: Additional tests have been added. Thanks to
+         Florian Forster.

+         Florian Forster. #2059
+       * ZFS ARC plugin: Header lines are now ignored in the Linux
+         implementation. Thanks to YmrDtnJu. #2097
