+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.
+ * collectd: Remove old values when a cache entry is marked as missing.
+ 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+ old, no longer valid values when this happens.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.
+ * df plugin: Check the ignorelist before stating the file system,
+ possibly reducing the number of stats considerably. Thanks to Joey
+ Hess for reporting this bug.
+ * iptables plugin: Support for the new libiptc API has been added.
+ 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
+ value was assigned to a wrong variable. The initialization of the
+ gcrypt library, which is used for signing / encrypting traffic, has
+ been fixed. Thanks to Luke Heberling for the patch.
+ * powerdns plugin: Set a timeout when reading data from the datagram
+ socket. Handling of the “LocalSocket” option has been fixed. An
+ incorrectly used “type” has been corrected. Thanks to Luke Heberling
+ for his patches.

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

+ J. Díaz for fixing these problems.

+ resolves problems under Solaris and potentially other systems.

+ memcached daemon and parses it similar to the cURL plugin. Thanks to
+ Doug MacEachern for the initial code.
+ * memcached plugin: Support for connections over UNIX domain sockets
+ has been added. Thanks to Franck Lombardi for the patch.
