+ “Hysteresis” have been added. Thanks to Andrés J. Díaz for hit
+ patches.
+ * curl_json plugin: The new cURL-JSON plugin reads JSON files using
+ the cURL library and parses the contents according to user
+ specification. Among other things, this allows to read statistics
+ from a CouchDB instance. Thanks to Doug MacEachern for the patch.

+ than the mount point can be used to identify partitions. Thanks to
+ Paul Sadauskas for the patch.

+ patch.

+ been added to the Swap plugin. Thanks to Stefan Völkel for the

+2009-09-13, Version 4.7.3
+ * collectd: Fix a possible but very rare invalid “free” in the caching
+ code. Thanks to Sebastian Harl for the patch.

+ This way the “GETVAL” command of the UnixSock plugin doesn't return
+ old, no longer valid values when this happens. Thanks to Andrés J.
+ Díaz for the patch.
+ * collectd: The “plugin_unregister_read” function has been fixed.
+ * apache, ascent, bind, curl, nginx plugins: Advise the cURL library
+ to follow redirects. Thanks to Joey Hess for reporting this bug.

+ Thanks to Sebastian Harl for the patch. The build system has been
+ updated to the plugin only includes the shipped header files when it
+ is linked with the shipped library, too.
+ * java plugin: Delay creating the JVM until after the daemon has
+ forked. The JVM internally creates threads that are lost when
+ forking. This means that Java-based plugins are now configured
+ during the init-phase, i. e. later than other plugins.
+ * libvirt plugin: Re-connect to libvirtd if connecting fails. Thanks
+ to Alan Pevec for the patch.
+ * network plugin: Fix the handling of the “CacheFlush” option: The

+ socket. Handling of the “LocalSocket” option has been fixed. An

+ details have been added to the configuration summary. Support for
+ libtool 2.2 has been added.

+ caused wrong behavior with the persistency option. Thanks to Andrés
+ J. Díaz for fixing these problems.

+ fixed.
+ * rrdtool plugin: Make sure initialization is run only once. This
+ resolves problems under Solaris and potentially other systems.
+ Thanks to Amit Gupta for reporting this bug.
+ * java plugin: Make it possible to use dots ('.') instead of slashes
+ ('/') as the class separator. Thanks to Randy Rizun for pointing
+ this out.
