        * 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.
-       * perl plugin: Many changes, including the added `EnableDebugger'
-         config option which lets you debug your Perl plugins more easily.
-       * snmp plugin: Added the options `Scale' and `Shift' to Data-blocks to
-         correct the values returned by SNMP-agents.
        * 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.
+         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.
+       * 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 arbitrary prefixes to the type-instance.
+       * 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.

+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.
