- 2012-03-23, Version 4.10.7
 +2012-04-01, Version 5.0.4
 +      * Build system: Fix the use of a libltdl macro. Thanks to Clemens Lang
 +        for fixing this. Adresses some issues with building the iptables
 +        plugin under Gentoo.
 +      * libcollectdclient: A memory leak in the lcc_getval() function has
 +        been fixed. Thanks to Jason Schmidlapp for finding and fixing this
 +        issue.
 +      * bind plugin: The use of 'QType" types has been fixed.
 +      * df plugin: Fixed compiler issue under Mac OS X 10.7.
 +      * conntrack plugin: Support zero as legitimate value. Thanks to Louis
 +        Opter for his patch.
 +      * memcached plugin: Increased the size of a static buffer, which was
 +        truncating status messages form memcached. Thanks to Timon for the
 +        patch.
 +      * network plugin: Forwarding of notifications has been disabled. This
 +        was a contition not checked for before, which may retult in an
 +        endless loop.
 +      * processes plugin: Support for process names with spaces has been
 +        added to the Linux implementation. Thanks to Darrell Bishop for his
 +        patch.
 +      * perl plugin: A race condition in several callbacks, including log and
 +        write callbacks, has been fixed. Thanks to "Rrpv" for reporting this
 +        bug.
 +      * snmp plugin: A bug when casting unsigned integers to gauge values has
 +        been fixed: Unsigned integers would be cast to a signed integer and
 +        then to a gauge, possibly resulting in a negative value.
 +      * tcpconns plugin: Compilation with newer versions of the FreeBSD
 +        runtime has been fixed.
 +
 +2012-02-19, Version 5.0.3
 +      * Build system: Fix problems when building the ipvs and iptables
 +        plugins. Thanks to Sebastian Harl for his patch. A bashism in the
 +        version-gen.sh script has been fixed. Thanks to Jo-Philipp Wich for
 +        his patch.
 +      * csv and rrdtool plugins: Print a more helpful error message when the
 +        DataDir is a symlink pointing to a non-existing location. Thanks to
 +        Jonathan Nieder for his patch.
 +      * exec plugin: Fix a problem when using select(2) to read from file
 +        handles. Thanks to Gerrie Roos for his patch.
 +      * network plugin: An incorrect error message in the handling of the
 +        "Interface" configuration option has been fixed. Thanks to Gerrie
 +        Roos for his patch.
 +      * oracle plugin: A potential endless loop in the error handling has
 +        been fixed.
 +      * python plugin: A crash bug in the configuration handling has been
 +        fixed. Thanks to Sven Trenkel for his patch.
 +      * interfaces plugin: The change which was supposed to ignore "bogus"
 +        interfaces has been reverted, since it ignored legit interfaces, such
 +        as bonding pseudo-devices as well.
 +
 +2012-01-21, Version 5.0.2
 +      * curl_xml plugin: Fix handling of file:// and other URLs (which don't
 +        follow HTTP status codes). Thanks to Fabien Wernli for his patch!
 +      * df plugin: Fix handling of negative "available" counts. This can
 +        occur with some file systems, for example UFS. Thanks to Toni Ylenius
 +        for his patch.
 +      * interface plugin: "mac" interfaces are now ignored on Solaris. These
 +        pseudo-interfaces occur multiple times, causing warnings. Also switch
 +        to 64-bit counters on Solaris, improving overflow behavior for
 +        high-speed interfaces. Thanks to Eddy Geez and Fabien Wernli for
 +        their patches.
 +      * memory plugin: Account kernel and unused memory under Solaris. Thanks
 +        to Fabien Wernli for his patch.
 +      * network plugin: A bug in the interaction between the Network plugin
 +        and filter chains has been fixed: When a filter modified a field such
 +        as the hostname, subsequent values in the same network packets could
 +        have ended up using the modified name rather than the original name.
 +        Thanks to Sebastian Harl for identifying the problem.
 +      * oracle plugin: A memory leak has been fixed in the parameter handling.
 +      * python plugin: A memory leak has been fixed. Thanks to Sven Trenkel
 +        for fixing this bug!
 +
 +2011-10-07, Version 5.0.1
 +      * collectd: A mutex leak has been fixed in the meta data code. Thanks
 +        to Rafal Lesniak for his patch.
 +      * collectd: Compatibility fixes for GCC 4.6 have been applied. Thanks
 +        to Peter Green for his patch.
 +      * csv plugin: The line buffer size has been increased. Thanks to Colin
 +        McCabe for the patch.
 +      * curl_json plugin: Don't use the "parent" node to build the type
 +        instance, if it is empty. Compatibility with libyajl 2 has been
 +        added. Thanks to "spupykin" of the Arch Linux project for the initial
 +        code. Formatting of time has been fixed in the JSON module.
 +      * exec plugin: Fix the timestamp value passed to notification scripts.
 +        Thanks to Alexander Kovalenko for fixing this.
 +      * iptables plugin: Fix linking with some versions of libiptc.
 +      * irq plugin: Fix support for interrupts under Linux. The old code
 +        assumed that interrupts have a numeric value -- this is no longer
 +        true for Linux. Thanks to Bostjan Skufca for implementing this.
 +      * notify_desktop plugin: Compatibility with libnotify 0.7 has been
 +        added. Thanks to Samuli Suominen for his patch.
 +      * processes plugin: Fix handling of regular expressions containing
 +        spaces. Thanks for Sebastian Harl for fixing this.
 +      * rrdtool, rrdcached plugins: Improve precision of the XFF parameter.
 +        Previously, values like 0.999 would have been rounded to 1.0. Thanks
 +        to Francois-Xavier Bourlet for fixing this.
 +      * varnish plugin: Fix data type handling of some metrics. Some values
 +        were submitted as gauge even though they were derives.
 +      * Various plugin: Set a multi-threading flag in libcurl. Thanks to Mike
 +        Flisher for the fix.
 +
 +2011-03-28, Version 5.0.0
 +      * collectd: The "FQDNLookup" option is now enabled by default.
 +      * collectd: The internal representation of time has been changed to
 +        allow a higher accuracy than one second.
 +      * collectdcmd: This new command line utility can send various commands
 +        to collectd using the UnixSock plugin. Thanks to Håkon Dugstad
 +        Johnsen and Sebastian Harl for their code.
 +      * collectd-nagios: The "-m" option has been implemented (treat NaNs as
 +        critical).
 +      * collectd-tg: Traffic generator creating bogus network traffic
 +        compatible to the Network plugin. This utility can be used to
 +        stress-test new write plugins and collectd in general.
 +      * libcollectdclient: Creating and sending network packets has been
 +        added to the collectd client library.
 +      * All data sets: The data source name of all data sets with exactly
 +        one data source has been changed to "value".
 +      * All plugins: All "counter" data sources have been converted to
 +        "derive" data sources. All plugins now use "derive" by default, but
 +        plugins such as the network plugin can still handle "counter", of
 +        course. The minimum value of all derive data sources is zero, the
 +        maximum value is unspecified.
 +      * amqp plugin: The new AMQP plugin can send data to and receive data
 +        from an AMQP broker. Thanks to Sebastien Pahl for his code.
 +      * apache plugin: Backwards compatibility code has been removed.
 +        Support for the IBM HTTP Server has been added. Thanks to Manuel
 +        Luis Sanmartín Rozada for his patch.

 +        Thanks to Kimo Rosenbaum for his patch.
 +      * df plugin: The default behavior has been changed to be equivalent to
 +        the "ReportReserved" behavior of v4.
 +      * dns plugin: Improved RFC 1035 name parsing has been imported from
 +        "dnstop".
 +      * exec plugin: Backwards compatibility code has been removed.
 +      * GenericJMX plugin: The "InstancePrefix" option has been added to
 +        "Connection" blocks.
 +      * hddtemp plugin: The "TranslateDevicename" config option has been
 +        removed.
 +      * interface plugin: Use the "plugin instance" to store the interface
 +        value.
 +      * libvirt plugin: The "InterfaceFormat" option has been added. Thanks
 +        to Ruben Kerkhof for his patch.
 +      * lpar plugin: New plugins for "logical partitions", a virtualization
 +        technique of POWER CPUs. Thanks to Aurélien Reynaud for his code and
 +        patience.

 +        license has been changes to LGPLv2.1.
 +      * mysql plugin: Backwards compatibility code has been removed. The
 +        data sets used have been improved.
 +      * network plugin: The default buffer size has been increased to
 +        1452 bytes.
 +      * perl plugin: Backwards compatibility code has been removed.
 +      * postgresql plugin: Backwards compatibility code has been removed.
 +      * redis plugin: Plugin for collecting statistics from Redis, a key-
 +        value store, has been added. Thanks to Andres J. Diaz for his code.
 +      * swap plugin: Implement collection of physical and virtual memory
 +        statistics under Solaris. The new default is collecting physical
 +        memory. Thanks to Aurélien Reynaud for his patches.
 +      * threshold plugin: The threshold configuration has been moved into
 +        this separate plugin.
 +      * unixsock plugin: The "DeleteSocket" option has been added.
 +      * varnish plugin: The new Varnish plugin reads statistics from
 +        Varnish, a web accelerator. Thanks to Jérôme Renard and Marc
 +        Fournier for their contributions.
 +      * write_redis: New plugin for writing data to Redis, a key-value
 +        store.
 +      * zfs_arc plugin: The data sets have been replaced by more elegant
 +        alternatives.
