-yyyy-mm-dd, Version 4.2.0
+2008-04-22, Version 4.2.7
+ * 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 4.2.6
+ * 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.
+
+2008-03-04, Version 4.2.5
+ * apache plugin: Improved initialization and error messages.
+ * exec plugin: Set supplementary group IDs.
+ * network plugin:
+ + Create separate threads for reading from the socket and parsing
+ and dispatching incoming packets. Versions prior to this may have
+ problems in high-load situations, where the socket receive buffers
+ overflows, resulting in gaps in the data.
+ + 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.
+ * rrdtool plugin: Ensure correct handling of the `RRATimespan' option.
+ * swap plugin: Reapply a patch for Solaris.
+ * tcpconns plugin: Portability improvements.
+
+2008-01-21, Version 4.2.4
+ * unixsock plugin: A bug in the unixsock plugin caused it not to set
+ the permission on the socket as documented in the manpage. Thanks to
+ Evgeny Chukreev for fixing this issue.
+ * collectd: The documentation has been improved.
+
+2007-12-28, Version 4.2.3
+ * sensors plugin: Updated the plugin to build and work with version 3
+ of the libsensors library.
+
+2007-12-15, Version 4.2.2
+ * nginx plugin: Incorrect comparison of strings lead to a segfault
+ when using the plugin. Thanks to Saulius Grigaliunas for fixing
+ this.
+ * logfile plugin: The config option `Timestamp' was handled
+ incorrectly and basically always active. Thanks to Luke Heberling
+ for fixing this.
+
+2007-11-08, Version 4.2.1
+ * tcpconns plugin: Don't complain about a missing file if IPv6 is not
+ enabled on the host.
+ * snmp plugin: Fix a memory leak.
+
+2007-10-27, Version 4.2.0
* collectd: The new config option `Include' lets you include other
configfiles and thus split up your config into smaller parts. This
may be especially interesting for the snmp plugin to keep the data
definitions separate from the host definitions.
+ * ipvs plugin: The new `ipvs' plugin collects IPVS connection statistics
+ (number of connections, octets and packets for each service and
+ destination). Thanks to Sebastian Harl for this plugin.
+ * memcached plugin: The new `memcached' plugin connects to a memcached
+ daemon process and collects statistics of this distributed caching
+ system. Thanks to Antony Dovgal for contributing this plugin.
+ * nginx plugin: The new `nginx' plugin reads the status page of an
+ nginx daemon and saves the handled connections and requests.
* perl plugin: Many changes, including the added `EnableDebugger'
config option which lets you debug your Perl plugins more easily.
- * tcpconns plugin: The new `tcpconns' plugin collects the number of
- certain TCP connections and what state they're in. This can be used
- to see how many connections your FTP server has to handle or how
- many outgoing connections your mailserver has open.
+ * rrdtool plugin: Use the thread-safe RRD-library if available. Try to
+ be more thread-safe otherwise by locking calls to the library.
* snmp plugin: Added the options `Scale' and `Shift' to Data-blocks to
correct the values returned by SNMP-agents. If a <data> block is
defined as `table' the instance is now optional. The sequence number
is used as the type-instance in this case. The new `InstancePrefix'
- option allows to add arbitary prefixes to the type-instance.
- * ipvs plugin: The new `ipvs' plugin collects IPVS connection statistics
- (number of connections, octets and packets for each service and
- destination).
- * rrdtool plugin: Use the thread-safe RRD-library if available. Try to
- be more thread-safe otherwise by locking calls to the library.
- * memcached plugin: The new `memcached' plugin connects to a memcached
- daemon process and collects statistics of this distributed caching
- system. Thanks to Antony Dovgal for contributing this plugin.

+
+2007-12-27, Version 4.1.5
+ * rrdtool plugin: Fix a memory leak that only occurred in very-low-
+ memory situations.
+ * sensors plugin: Updated the plugin to build and work with version 3
+ of the libsensors library.
+
+2007-11-08, Version 4.1.4
+ * Build system: Improve detection of the rrd library, especially if
+ it's in a non-standard location.
+ * Build system: A bug when parsing the argument for
+ `--with-libnetsnmp' has been fixed.
+ * collectd: Implement `strerror_r' if the libc doesn't provide it.
+ * rrdtool plugin: Fix a bug in the shutdown sequence that might cause
+ a deadlock or delay when shutting down the daemon.
+ * snmp plugin: Fix a memory leak.
2007-10-24, Version 4.1.3
* collectd: A build issue under Solaris has been resolved by renaming
