+2006-12-22, Version 3.11.0
+ * collectd: The new command line option `-P' makes it easier for
+ distributors to change the location of PID-files.
+ * collectd: The daemon shuts down faster now which makes it easier to
+ write init.d-scripts for it.
+ * apache plugin: Increase the buffersize to 16k, because the 4k buffer
+ caused problems every now and then.
+ * df plugin: New config options allow to ignore certain mountpoints,
+ filesystem types or devices.
+ * dns plugin: The new dns plugin uses `libpcap' to capture DNS traffic
+ and interprets it. It collects traffic as well as qtype, opcode and
+ rcode counts.
+ * email plugin: Sebastian Harl has contributed this plugin which
+ counts received mails in categories (e. g. ham, spam, virus), spam
+ score (as given by SpamAssassin) and check types.
+ * mbmon plugin: Flavio Stanchina has contributed this plugin which
+ uses `mbmon' to gather information from sensors on the motherboard.
+ * processes plugin: Collect detailed statistics for configured
+ processes, that's process and thread count, CPU usage, resident
+ segment size and pagefaults.
+ * multimeter plugin: Peter Holik contributed a new plugin which
+ queries multimeters.
+ * sensors plugin: Lubos Stanek has put much effort into improving this
+ plugin, including `extended naming', collection of voltage values
+ and the possibility to ignore certain values.
+
+2006-12-21, Version 3.10.4
+ * Max Kellermann has identified a bug in the server routine: When
+ opening a socket fails the daemon will (re)try opening the socket in
+ an endless loop, ultimately leading to a `EMFILE' error.
+
+2006-11-04, Version 3.10.3
+ * Lubos Stanek has identified a bug in the ntpd-plugin: When the
+ ntpd's reply was sent in more than one packet, the buffer size was
+ calculated incorrectly, resulting in the reading of uninitialized or
+ freed memory.
+
+2006-11-01, Version 3.10.2
+ * The sample config file has been improved.
+ * Errors in the manpages have been corrected.
+ * The ping-plugin now adds hosts during initialization, not during
+ startup. This speeds up starup when no network connectivity is
+ available. Also, the hosts are being added later when the network is
+ available.
+ * Improved BSD-support for the df-plugin.
+ * Fixed syntax errors in the swap-plugin for Mac OS X.
+ * Fix a wrong structure being passed to `getnameinfo' in the ntpd-
+ plugin.
+ * Don't disable the mysql-plugin if connecting to the database fails
+ during initialization. Instead, try again in increasing intervals.
+
+2006-07-19, Version 3.10.1
+ * A bug in the apcups plugin was fixed: Is the plugin is loaded, but
+ the apcups cannot be reached, unconnected sockets will pile up and
+ eventually lead to `Too many open files' errors.
+
+2006-07-09, Version 3.10.0
+ * The `disk' plugin has been ported to Darwin.
+ * The `battery' plugin should work on many Apple computers now.
+ * The `traffic' plugin can now ignore certain interfaces. Also,
+ statistics for sent/received packets and errors have been added.
+ * A plugin to monitor APC UPSes using `apcupsd' has been added. Thanks
+ to Anthony Gialluca for contributing this plugin and providing me
+ with a test environment :)
+ * A plugin for moniroting an NTP instance and the local clock drift
+ has been added.
+
+2006-06-25, Version 3.9.4
+ * The Solaris code in the `swap' plugin has been changed to reflect
+ the numbers returned by `swap -s'. Thanks to Christophe Kalt for
+ working this out.
+ * The debugging system has been fixed to work with the Sun libc.
+ * When built without librrd the variable `operating_mode' could be
+ uninitialized. Thanks to David Elliot for reporting the bug.
+
+2006-06-01, Version 3.9.3
+ * Fixed the ping-plugin under FreeBSD and Mac OS X. Potentially other
+ operating systems also profit from the changes, but I wasn't able to
+ check that.
+ * Changed the build system to find the netinet-includes under FreeBSD
+ and therefore successfully build the `liboping' library there.
+
+2006-05-09, Version 3.9.2
+ * Applied a patch to the `liboping' library. Due to a bug in the
+ sequence checking the `ping' plugin stopped working after
+ approximately 7.6 days.
+
+2006-05-09, Version 3.8.5
+ * Applied a patch to the `liboping' library. Due to a bug in the
+ sequence checking the `ping' plugin stopped working after
+ approximately 7.6 days.
+
+2006-04-21, Version 3.9.1
+ * Build issues with Solaris and possible other architectures have been
+ resolved.
+ * Problems when building the `apache'-plugin without `libcurl' have
+ been resolved.
+ * A bug in the `ping' plugin has been fixed. Sorry folks.
+
+2006-04-02, Version 3.9.0
+ * A plugin to monitor the Apache webserver has been added.
+ <http://httpd.apache.org/>
+ * A plugin to collect statistics about virtual servers using VServer.
+ <http://linux-vserver.org/> Thanks to Sebastian Harl for writing
+ this plugin :)
+ * A plugin for wireless LAN cards has been added. It monitors signal
+ strength, link quality and noise ratio..
+ * A plugin for Apple hardware sensors has been added.
+ * An option to compile collectd with different `step' and `hearbeat'
+ settings has been added. The size of RRAs is no longer static but
+ calculated based on the settings for `step' and `width'.
+ * The `ping' plugin can now be configured to use a certain TTL.
+ * A plugin to monitor the hardware sensors of Apple computers has been
+ added.
+ * The plugins `cpu', `memory', `processes' and `traffic' have been
+ ported to Mach/Darwin (Mac OS X).
+ * The `log mode' has been contributed by Christophe Kalt. It writes
+ the data into text files rather than RRD files.
+
+2006-04-09, Version 3.8.4
+ * Applied patch by Vincent Stehlé which improves the disk-name
+ resolution in the `hddtemp' plugin for Linux systems.
+
+2006-04-02, Version 3.8.3
+ * Applied a patch by James Byers: The MySQL plugin was not working
+ with MySQL 5.0.2 or later.
+
+2006-03-14, Version 3.8.2
+ * `utils_mount.c' has been changed to not use the `MNTTAB' defined by
+ the GNU libc, because it points to `/etc/fstab' rather than
+ `/etc/mtab'.
+
+2006-03-13, Version 3.8.1
+ * Fixes for building collectd unter FreeBSD, Mac OS X and Solaris.
+ * Fixes in the debian `postinst' and `init.d' scripts.
+
+2006-03-09, Version 3.8.0
+ * The `ping' plugin no longer uses `libping' but a self written
+ library named `liboping'. With this library it's possible to ping
+ multiple IPv4 and IPv6 addresses and hostnames - in parallel.
+
+2006-02-18, Version 3.7.2
+ * A simple bug in the `battery' plugin has been fixed. It should now
+ work with ACPI based batteries as well. Thankt to Sebastian for
+ fixing this.
+ * Fixing a bug that prevented collectd to be built without librrd.
+ Thanks to Werner Heuser for reporting it.
+
2006-02-04, Version 3.7.1
* The new network code has been improved to build with older versions
of glibc.
