+ truncating status messages form memcached. Thanks to Timon for the
+ patch.
+ * network plugin: Forwarding of notifications has been disabled. This
+ was a contition not checked for before, which may retult in an
+ endless loop.
+ * processes plugin: Support for process names with spaces has been

+ patch.
+ * perl plugin: A race condition in several callbacks, including log and
+ write callbacks, has been fixed. Thanks to "Rrpv" for reporting this
+ bug.
+ * snmp plugin: A bug when casting unsigned integers to gauge values has
+ been fixed: Unsigned integers would be cast to a signed integer and
+ then to a gauge, possibly resulting in a negative value.
+ * tcpconns plugin: Compilation with newer versions of the FreeBSD
+ runtime has been fixed.
+
+2012-02-19, Version 5.0.3
+ * Build system: Fix problems when building the ipvs and iptables

+ been fixed.
+ * python plugin: A crash bug in the configuration handling has been
+ fixed. Thanks to Sven Trenkel for his patch.
+ * interfaces plugin: The change which was supposed to ignore "bogus"
+ interfaces has been reverted, since it ignored legit interfaces, such
+ as bonding pseudo-devices as well.
+
+2012-01-21, Version 5.0.2
+ * 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
+ occur with some file systems, for example UFS. Thanks to Toni Ylenius
+ for his patch.

+ pseudo-interfaces occur multiple times, causing warnings. Also switch
+ to 64-bit counters on Solaris, improving overflow behavior for
+ high-speed interfaces. Thanks to Eddy Geez and Fabien Wernli for
+ 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
+ and filter chains has been fixed: When a filter modified a field such
+ as the hostname, subsequent values in the same network packets could
+ 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!

+ instance, if it is empty. Compatibility with libyajl 2 has been
+ added. Thanks to "spupykin" of the Arch Linux project for the initial
+ 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.
+ * irq plugin: Fix support for interrupts under Linux. The old code
+ assumed that interrupts have a numeric value -- this is no longer
+ true for Linux. Thanks to Bostjan Skufca for implementing this.
+ * 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.
+ * rrdtool, rrdcached plugins: Improve precision of the XFF parameter.
+ Previously, values like 0.999 would have been rounded to 1.0. Thanks
+ to Francois-Xavier Bourlet for fixing this.
+ * varnish plugin: Fix data type handling of some metrics. Some values
+ were submitted as gauge even though they were derives.
+ * Various plugin: Set a multi-threading flag in libcurl. Thanks to Mike
+ Flisher for the fix.
+
+2011-03-28, Version 5.0.0

+ * collectd: The internal representation of time has been changed to
+ allow a higher accuracy than one second.
+ * collectdcmd: This new command line utility can send various commands
+ to collectd using the UnixSock plugin. Thanks to Håkon Dugstad
+ Johnsen and Sebastian Harl for their code.
+ * collectd-nagios: The "-m" option has been implemented (treat NaNs as
+ critical).
+ * collectd-tg: Traffic generator creating bogus network traffic
+ 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.
+ * apache plugin: Backwards compatibility code has been removed.
+ Support for the IBM HTTP Server has been added. Thanks to Manuel
+ Luis Sanmartín Rozada for his patch.

+ * GenericJMX plugin: The "InstancePrefix" option has been added to
+ "Connection" blocks.
+ * hddtemp plugin: The "TranslateDevicename" config option has been
+ removed.

+ value.
+ * libvirt plugin: The "InterfaceFormat" option has been added. Thanks
+ to Ruben Kerkhof for his patch.
+ * lpar plugin: New plugins for "logical partitions", a virtualization
+ technique of POWER CPUs. Thanks to Aurélien Reynaud for his code and
+ patience.
+ * modbus plugin: Support for libmodbus 2.9.2 has been added and the
+ license has been changes to LGPLv2.1.
+ * mysql plugin: Backwards compatibility code has been removed. The
+ data sets used have been improved.
+ * network plugin: The default buffer size has been increased to
+ 1452 bytes.
+ * perl plugin: Backwards compatibility code has been removed.
+ * postgresql plugin: Backwards compatibility code has been removed.
+ * redis plugin: Plugin for collecting statistics from Redis, a key-
+ value store, has been added. Thanks to Andres J. Diaz for his code.
+ * swap plugin: Implement collection of physical and virtual memory
+ statistics under Solaris. The new default is collecting physical
+ memory. Thanks to Aurélien Reynaud for his patches.
+ * threshold plugin: The threshold configuration has been moved into
+ this separate plugin.
+ * unixsock plugin: The "DeleteSocket" option has been added.
+ * varnish plugin: The new Varnish plugin reads statistics from

+ * 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.
+ * collectd: A couple of memory leaks through PThread thread attributes
+ have been fixed. Thanks to Gerrie Roos for fixing these.
+ * apcups plugin: Improve the reconnect behavior.
+ * df plugin: Ignore "rootfs" devices under Linux to avoid having them
+ reported twice. Thanks to Brune Prémont for fixing this.
+ * disk plugin: Fix incorrect computation of read and write latency (the
+ "disk_time" type). Previously, the numbers reported where too small
+ by a factor of "interval", e.g. when the interval is set to 10
+ seconds, the values were too low by a factor of 10. Thanks to Manuel
+ Sanmartin for reporting this problem.
+ * dns plugin: A build issue under Solaris has been fixed. A erroneous
+ define that could lead to the reporting of bad data has been fixed by
+ Daniel Sutto.
+ * memcachec plugin: A bug in the configuration handling has been fixed.
+ Thanks to Pascal Hofmann for fixing this issue.
+ * netapp plugin: Correctly close the connection on communication
+ errors.
+ * netlink plugin: The function used to query statistics has been
+ changed to be more in line with iproute2's behavior. Thanks to
+ "KIvosak" for the patch.

+ Chris Lundquist for his patch.
+ * oracle plugin: Error messages have been improved.
+ * ping plugin: Don't enter the exponential back-off mode when
+ ping_send() fails. This should make recovery after a network failure
+ much faster.
+ * python plugin: Memory leaks have been fixed. Thanks to Tommie Gannert
+ and Sven Trenkel for fixing this.
+ * rrdtool plugin: Fix an out-of-bounds array access when printing a
+ warning message. Thanks to Will Hawkins for fixing this bug.
+ * snmp plugin: Support for the SNMP_ENDOFMIBVIEW return value has been
+ added. Support for more complex / unusual MIBs / subtrees has been
+ added. Thanks to Mark Juric to test the changes and point out these
+ problems.
