Subject: Re: [collectd] 3.10.1 - proposed patch to extend sensors plugin

Enhancements:
- precise sensor feature selection (chip-bus-address/type-feature) in the
  ExtendedSensorNaming mode
- more sensor features (finite list)
- honor sensors.conf's ignored
- config Sensor option
- config IgnoreSelected option
- config ExtendedSensorNaming option
- modified DS'es to include proper information about type in the
  ExtendedSensorNaming mode
- /type- differs from yours because of the conflict between the type and the
  old DS in the ExtendedSensorNaming mode
- the contrib/collection.cgi is modified to support both modes
