[collectd] Versions 4.6.3 and 4.7.1 available.

[Florian Forster]

Hi,

I have just packaged and uploaded versions 4.6.3 and 4.7.1 of collectd.
Both versions are patch releases, i. e. they do not introduce new
features but only fix bugs. Upgrading from 4.6.2 or 4.7.0 is
recommended.

ChangeLog
---------
2009-06-02, Version 4.7.1
  * Build system: Detection of Java has been improved and missing
    details have been added to the configuration summary. Support for
    libtool 2.2 has been added.
  * collectd: Two bugs with the threshold checking have been fixed. The
    first one prevented thresholds to be checked at all, the second one
    caused wrong behavior with the persistency option. Thanks to Andrés
    J. Díaz for fixing these problems.
  * collectd: Handling of the `Include' configuration option has been
    fixed.
  * rrdtool plugin: Make sure initialization is run only once. This
    resolves problems under Solaris and potentially other systems.
    Thanks to Amit Gupta for reporting this bug.
  * java plugin: Make it possible to use dots ('.') instead of slashes
    ('/') as the class separator. Thanks to Randy Rizun for pointing
    this out.
  * swap plugin: A work-around for 32-bit Solaris has been added. Thanks
    to Doug MacEachern for the patch.

2009-06-02, Version 4.6.3
  * Build system, various plugins: Many build fixes for FreeBSD,
    OpenBSD, NetBSD, Solaris and Mac OS X. Big thanks to Doug MacEachern
    for many fixes and providing a build system for many platforms,
    Ulf Zimmermann for providing a FreeBSD system and Simon Kuhnle for
    providing an OpenBSD system.
  * collectd: Two bugs with the threshold checking have been fixed. The
    first one prevented thresholds to be checked at all, the second one
    caused wrong behavior with the persistency option. Thanks to Andrés
    J. Díaz for fixing these problems.
  * collectd: Handling of the `Include' configuration option has been
    fixed.
  * battery plugin: Don't complain about a missing directory every
    interval.
  * exec plugin: Allow executed programs to close STDERR. Thanks to
    Thorsten von Eicken for reporting this problem.
  * irq plugin: Fix handling of overflowing 32-bit counters. Thanks to
    Tomasz Pala for the patch.

    the patch.
