    to Peter Green for his patch.
  * csv plugin: The line buffer size has been increased. Thanks to Colin

    instance, if it is empty. Compatibility with libyajl 2 has been
    added. Thanks to "spupykin" of the Arch Linux project for the initial
    code. Formatting of time has been fixed in the JSON module.
  * exec plugin: Fix the timestamp value passed to notification scripts.
    Thanks to Alexander Kovalenko for fixing this.

    added. Thanks to Samuli Suominen for his patch.
  * processes plugin: Fix handling of regular expressions containing
    spaces. Thanks for Sebastian Harl for fixing this.

    Previously, values like 0.999 would have been rounded to 1.0. Thanks
    to Francois-Xavier Bourlet for fixing this.
  * varnish plugin: Fix data type handling of some metrics. Some values
    were submitted as gauge even though they were derives.
  * Various plugin: Set a multi-threading flag in libcurl. Thanks to Mike
    Flisher for the fix.
