Thanks to + Bruno Prémont for finding this problem. + * bind plugin: Fix collection of the cached RR sets. The number of RR + sets currently in the cache was collected as a counter value, which + is nonsense. Thanks to Bruno Prémont for implementing this. + * dns plugin: Don't pass NULL to `pcap_open_live': Some systems, + primarily BSDs, don't take it well and crash. + * oracle plugin: Portability to 64 bit systems has been improved. + * postgresql plugin: The default configuration has been improved. + * rrdtool plugin: Fix a possible race condition: If the network plugin + is brought and dispatches a value before the rrdtool plugin is + initialized, the daemon may crash. + +2009-02-22, Version 4.6.1 + * collectd: Many documentation fixes. + * Collectd::Unixsock: Error handling has been improved. + * regex match: Don't link with the PCRE library. + * bind plugin: Various bugs have been fixed. Thanks to Bruno Prémont + for finding and fixing most of them. + * ipmi plugin: Fix an off-by-one error which could cause segmentation + faults. Thanks to Peter Holik for his patch. + +2009-02-16, Version 4.6.0 + * collectd: Added the `filter chain' infrastructure, which allows the + user to use `matches' and `targets' to control value processing. + * collectd: The new `-T' command line argument allows more in-depth + testing of a configuration. Thanks to Doug MacEachern for the patch. + * collectd-nagios: The Nagios integration command has been updated to + use libcollectdclient. The `percentage' aggregation function has + been added. Thanks to Fabian Linzberger for the patch. + * libcollectdclient: A library which abstracts communication with the + unixsock plugin for clients has been added. + * regex match: Match values by their identifies using regular + expressions. + * timediff match: Match for values with an invalid timestamp. + * value match: Select values by their data sources' values. + * notification target: Create and dispatch a notification. + * replace target: Replace parts of an identifier using regular + expressions. + * set target: Set (overwrite) entire parts of an identifier. + * bind plugin: This new plugin uses the new HTTP/XML interface to BIND + statistics, allowing very detailed name server statistics. Thanks to + Bruno Prémont for this plugin. + * cpu plugin: Report `interrupt' separately when using + sysctlbyname(3) (used under *BSD). Support for sysctl(3), for + example for native OpenBSD support, has been added. Thanks to Simon + Kuhnle for the patch. + * csv plugin: Make it possible to write values to STDOUT instead of + files. This is meant for testing purposes mostly. The output written + to STDOUT is compatible with the exec plugin. Thanks to Doug + MacEachern for the patch. + * curl plugin: This new plugin can be used to read web pages and parse + them using the same mechanism that's used in the tail plugin. + * dbi plugin: This new plugin allows you to connect to a variety of + relational databases and use SQL to gather custom statistics from + it. It is similar to the already existing PostgreSQL plugin but uses + libdbi to communicate with the database(s). + * interface plugin: Use the ignorelist framework when selecting / + ignoring interfaces. This allows one to use regular expressions to + select interfaces, too. + * ipmi plugin: Handle temporary IPMI error conditions more gracefully. + Thanks to Bruno Prémont for this patch. + * memcached plugin: Add hit-ratio metric. Thanks to Doug MacEachern + for the patch. + * mysql plugin: Allow connecting to a database via the UNIX domain + socket, too. Thanks to Mirko Buffoni for the patch. + * network plugin: Further performance improvements for the receive + code. This hopefully will help very large setups. + * openvpn plugin: This new plugin collects statistics provided by the + OpenVPN daemon. Thanks to Doug MacEachern for the patch. + * oracle plugin: This new plugin allows you to connect to an Oracle + database and use SQL to gather custom statistics from it. It is + similar to the already existing PostgreSQL plugin. + * perl plugin: Compatibility fixes for broken versions of Perl 5.10 + have been added. + * perl plugin: Export the newly added plugin_write() to Perl plugins. + * perl plugin: Added support for `notification meta data'. + * perl plugin: Added support for the `filter chain' infrastructure by + allowing plugins to register `matches' and `targets'. + * postgresql plugin: The preferred configuration syntax has been + updated to be in line with the syntax used by the new dbi and oracle + plugins. The compatibility code for the old syntax is present. + Support for the new `Result' blocks and the interval parameter has + been added. + * processes plugin: Stacksize and virtual memory usage statistics have + been added. Portability fixes. + * rrdcached plugin: This new plugin uses the (still in development) + RRD accelerator daemon, rrdcached. This daemon works very similar to + the original rrdtool plugin of collectd, but adds some more nice + features. + * swap plugin: Code for OpenBSD (and possibly other *BSDs) has been + added. + +2009-02-22, Version 4.5.3 + * build system: The check for libupsclient even when `pkg-config' is + not available. + * collectd: Fix error handling in the global cache. + * Collectd::Unixsock: Error handling has been improved. + * ascent plugin: Fix a memory leak. Thanks to Bruno Prémont for his + patch. + * ipmi plugin: Fix an off-by-one error which could cause segmentation + faults.

This error may cause a + segmentation fault. + * network plugin: Fix the handling of `type' in the network protocol. + Due to a programming mistake, only 4 or 8 bytes would be copied to a + much larger buffer. This caused the `type' to be transferred much + more often than necessary. In some cases, e. g. the `cpu' and + `cpufreq' plugins being used at the same time, data may be corrupted + in those files. Thanks to Bruno Prémont for debugging and reporting + this issue. + * processes plugin: Fix a possible segmentation fault when specifying + invalid configuration options. + * unixsock plugin: Make sure the initialization function is run only + once. This resolves a file descriptor leak under systems which run + the initialization more than once, such as Solaris. + 2008-10-16, Version 4.5.1 * build system: Change `--enable-' to abort with an error if dependencies are not met.
