+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.
+
+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.
