Hello everybody,

I've packaged a new round of patch releases for the 5.2 and 5.1 branches.

Version 5.2.1 fixes two bugs which were introduces in 5.2.0: A build
issue on systems without the gcrypt library was fixed. This caused many
people some headache when trying to compile collectd from source. Also,
the write_graphite plugin no longer accepted the "SeparateInstances" and
"AlwaysAppendDS" options
