Hello everybody, I've packaged new patch releases of the current stable versions of collectd. They fix a couple of bugs in collectd, plugins and the documentation.
Since of the bugs, the failed assertion in the RRDtool and RRDCacheD plugins, can be used for a Denial of Service (DoS) attack, all users are urged to upgrade.
