+ * collectd: Create new directories with mode 0777 and let umask remove
+ unwanted permission bits.
+ * collectd: Build issues have been fixed.
+ * collectd: An incorrect assertion has been fixed in some common code
+ for Solaris. This should resolve pseudo-random assertion failures
+ under Solaris. Thanks to Jeff Blane for his help debugging this.

+ have been fixed. Thanks to Gerrie Roos for fixing these.
+ * collectdctl: Fix PUTVAL for data sets with multiple data sources.

+ Sanmartin for reporting this problem.

+ and Sven Trenkel for fixing this.
+ * redis plugin: Fix a compilation problem on FreeBSD. Thanks to
+ "biancalana" for the fix.

+ runtime has been fixed.
+
+2012-02-19, Version 5.0.3
+ * Build system: Fix problems when building the ipvs and iptables

+ * curl_xml plugin: Fix handling of file:// and other URLs (which don't
+ follow HTTP status codes). Thanks to Fabien Wernli for his patch!
+ * df plugin: Fix handling of negative "available" counts. This can

+ their patches.
+ * memory plugin: Account kernel and unused memory under Solaris. Thanks
+ to Fabien Wernli for his patch.
+ * network plugin: A bug in the interaction between the Network plugin

+ have ended up using the modified name rather than the original name.
+ Thanks to Sebastian Harl for identifying the problem.
+ * oracle plugin: A memory leak has been fixed in the parameter handling.
+ * python plugin: A memory leak has been fixed. Thanks to Sven Trenkel
+ for fixing this bug!

+ code. Formatting of time has been fixed in the JSON module.
+ * exec plugin: Fix the timestamp value passed to notification scripts.
+ Thanks to Alexander Kovalenko for fixing this.
+ * iptables plugin: Fix linking with some versions of libiptc.

+ * notify_desktop plugin: Compatibility with libnotify 0.7 has been
+ added. Thanks to Samuli Suominen for his patch.
+ * processes plugin: Fix handling of regular expressions containing
+ spaces. Thanks for Sebastian Harl for fixing this.

+ critical).

+ compatible to the Network plugin. This utility can be used to
+ stress-test new write plugins and collectd in general.
+ * libcollectdclient: Creating and sending network packets has been
+ added to the collectd client library.
+ * All data sets: The data source name of all data sets with exactly
+ one data source has been changed to "value".
+ * All plugins: All "counter" data sources have been converted to
+ "derive" data sources. All plugins now use "derive" by default, but
+ plugins such as the network plugin can still handle "counter", of
+ course. The minimum value of all derive data sources is zero, the
+ maximum value is unspecified.
+ * amqp plugin: The new AMQP plugin can send data to and receive data
+ from an AMQP broker. Thanks to Sebastien Pahl for his code.
