De developers van RRDtool hebben een nieuwe stabiele versie online gezet. Het programma is bij versienummer 1.3.7 aangekomen, die vanaf deze pagina als binary en als broncode kan worden gedownload. RRDtool kan diverse soorten gegevens opslaan en hier grafieken van genereren. Denk hierbij aan het dataverkeer van een internetverbinding en het aantal verstuurde e-mails. Versie 1.3.7 van RRDtool wordt met de volgende release notes geleverd:
The new release contains some rather influential changes.Bugfixes:
- Holt-Winters rrds should see a drastic speedup.
- Front-ends relying on output from graph --lazy will work again
- updatev does not segfault on 32 bit platforms anymore.
- rrd_dump produces correct output with german locales.
Enhanced Features
- fixed sprintf segmentation fault in updatev function for all architectures where sizeof(time_t) == 32
- removed all instances of rrd_flush from the holt winters code resulting in a massive performance gain for holt winters updates. rrd_flush was a left-over from the time when rrdtool IO was stream based. Even worse, the old fflush had been converted to fsync which was plain wrong.
- fixed rrd_xport output which included some stray debug output.
- fixed rrd_strerror handling to correctly work both for linux and posix compliant implementations.
- misc documentation fixes
- added missing utime.h include for architectures where it does not get loaded by some other dependency
- compilation fixes for rrd_dump on windows
- make rrd_dump work correctly even when using a locale where the decimal separator is no '.'
- restore classic behaviour of --lazy, doing all the calc work and outputting PRINT statements even when it does not draw the graph. This fixes some mrtg front-ends which have relied on this behaviour for a long time.
- graphv will now return graph_start and graph_end variables containing the timestamps for the start and the end of the graph.
