+2008-04-22, Version 4.3.3
+ * build system: Improved detection of several libraries, especially if
+ they are in non-standard paths.
+ * build system: Portability fixes: Automatically define "_REENTRANT"
+ if the libc expects it.
+ * collectd: Error and warning messages have been improved.
+ * collectd: Check for the BYTE_ORDER and BIG_ENDIAN defines before
+ using them.
+ * apache plugin: Allocate new memory when reading a webpage instead of
+ using a buffer of static size.
+ * exec plugin: Close (almost) all filedescriptors before exec(2)ing
+ the program.
+ * hddtemp plugin: Error and warning messages have been improved.
+ * sensors plugin: Fix sensor collection for some chip types.
+
+2008-03-29, Version 4.3.2
+ * collectd: Fix configuration of the `FailureMax', `WarningMax', and
+ `Persist' threshold options.
+ * collectd: Fix handling of missing values in the global value cache.
+ * collectd: Improved error messages when parsing the configuration.
+ * sensors plugin: Fix temperature collection with libsensors4.
+ * unixsock plugin: Fix mixed input and output operation on streams.
+ * wireless plugin: Fix reading noise value.
+
+2008-03-05, Version 4.3.1
+ * exec plugin: Set supplementary group IDs.
+ * network plugin:
+ + Use `memcpy' when constructing/parsing a package to avoid
+ alignment problems on weird architectures, such as Sparc.
+ + Translate doubles to/from the x86 byte representation to ensure
+ cross-platform compatibility.
+ * ping plugin: Correct the handling of the `TTL' setting.
+ * swap plugin: Reapply a patch for Solaris.
+ * tcpconns plugin: Portability improvements.
+
+2008-02-18, Version 4.3.0
+ * collectd: Notifications have been added to the daemon. Notifications
+ are status messages that may be associated with a data instance.
+ * collectd: Threshold checking has been added to the daemon. This
+ means that you can configure threshold values for each data
+ instance. If this threshold is exceeded a notification will be
+ created.
+ * collectd: The new `FQDNLookup' option tells the daemon to use the
+ full qualified domain name as the hostname, not just the host part
+ es returned by `gethostname(2)'.
+ * collectd: Support for more than one `TypesDB' file has been added.
+ This is useful when one such file is included in a package but one
+ wants to add custom type definitions.
+ * collectd: The `Include' config option has been expanded to handle
+ entire directories and shell wildcards.
+ * collectdmon: The new `collectdmon' binary detects when collectd
+ terminates and automatically restarts it again.
+ * csv plugin: The CSV plugin is now able to store counter values as a
+ rate, using the `StoreRates' configuration option.
+ * exec plugin: Handling of notifications has been added and the
+ ability to pass arguments to the executed programs has been added.
+ * hddtemp plugin: The new `TranslateDevicename' option lets you
+ disable the translation from device names to major-minor-numbers.
+ * logfile plugin: Handling of notifications has been added.
+ * ntpd plugin: The new `ReverseLookups' can be used to disable reverse
+ domain name lookups in this plugin.
+ * perl plugin: Many internal changes added support for handling multiple
+ threads making the plugin reasonably usable inside collectd. The API has
+ been extended to support notifications and export global variables to
+ Perl plugins; callbacks now have to be identified by name rather than a
+ pointer to a subroutine. The plugin is no longer experimental.
+ * uuid plugin: The new UUID plugin sets the hostname to an unique
+ identifier for this host. This is meant for setups where each client
+ may migrate to another physical host, possibly going through one or
+ more name changes in the process. Thanks to Richard Jones from
+ Red Hat's Emerging Technology group for this plugin.
+ * libvirt: The new libvirt plugin uses the `libvirt' library to query
+ CPU, disk and network statistics about guest systems on the same
+ physical server. Thanks to Richard Jones from Red Hat's Emerging
+ Technology group for this plugin.
