This should resolve pseudo-random assertion failures + under Solaris. Thanks to Jeff Blane for his help debugging this. + * collectd: A couple of memory leaks through PThread thread attributes + have been fixed. Thanks to Gerrie Roos for fixing these. + * collectdctl: Fix PUTVAL for data sets with multiple data sources. + Thanks to Cyril Feraudet for reporting this problem. + * contrib/migrate-4-5.px: Handle to "df" to "df_complex" conversion + correctly. + * apcups plugin: Improve the reconnect behavior. + * curl_xml plugin: The "Host" setting was silently ignored.

Thanks to Brune Prémont for fixing this. + * disk plugin: Fix incorrect computation of read and write latency (the + "disk_time" type). Previously, the numbers reported where too small + by a factor of "interval", e.g. when the interval is set to 10 + seconds, the values were too low by a factor of 10. Thanks to Manuel + Sanmartin for reporting this problem. + * dns plugin: A build issue under Solaris has been fixed. A erroneous + define that could lead to the reporting of bad data has been fixed by + Daniel Sutto. + * memcachec plugin: A bug in the configuration handling has been fixed. + Thanks to Pascal Hofmann for fixing this issue. + * mysql plugin: Fix a bug when registering multiple databases.
