Hello everybody, I'm pleased to announce the release of collectd 4.10.0, a new minor release of collectd.
This version introduces several new features, including three new plugins for retrieving and parsing XML files, reading Modbus/TCP registers and receiving PHP profiling information. Improvements of existing plugins includes Python 3 support in the Python plugin, manually setting an interface in the Network plugin and support for pinging "dynamic DNS" hosts in the Ping plugin. This will probably be the last (feature) release of major version 4. The next version with new features will be version 5.0. I hope to be able to release 5.0 in July, in time for collectd's five year anniversary ;) Download -------- The new version is available in source-code form from collectd's download page.
