The old behaviour was cutting both the higher values *and* the smoke
leading up to them.  This was a bug that got fixed in 2.3.6 so that the
smoke is now visible.

The graph intentionally scales with the median values, not the peaks,
and I believe the Etch version did that too. This may become more
configurable in the future; currently I think the only related options
are 'unison_tolerance' and 'logarithmic'.

See the thread at

I agree that documenting this change better would be good. I'll probably
add a note to the smokeping_upgrade document.
