[collectd] Version 5.3.0 is available.

[Florian Forster]

Hello everybody,

as promised earlier this week, I have packaged and uploaded version 5.3.0. This
feature release includes a couple of new features, most importantly the eagerly
awaited "write_riemann" plugin, which allows you to send data to Riemann, an
open-source stream aggregation and monitoring system.

The NetApp plugin can now report a bunch of new metrics. Support for POST
requests has been added to the cURL* plugins, which allows to send SOAP
requests, for example. A thread-pool for write threads and the new
"CreateFilesAsync" option in the RRDtool and RRDCacheD plugins improves
throughput on large scale servers. Other changes are listed in the ChangeLog
below.

This release marks the "end of live" of the 5.1 branch. New bugfixes will be
applied to 5.2 and 5.3.

ChangeLog
---------
2013-04-09, Version 5.3.0
  * collectd: The "Include" statements can now be limited to include
    only matching files in a directory. Thanks to Sebastian Harl for his
    patch.
  * collectd: Dispatches / writes are now handled by a thread pool. This
    improves reliability and throughput for instances configured to act
    as a "server". Thanks to Sebastian Harl and Dan Fandrich for
    reviewing this change and fixing bugs.
  * aggregation plugin: Selection of value lists is now possible using
    regular expressions. Parts of the identifier of the resulting metric
    can now be set via the configuration file.
  * apcups plugin: The "ReportSeconds" option has been implemented.
  * curl* plugins: Support for POST requests and custom request headers
    has been added. Thanks to Dan Fandrich for his patch.
  * curl_xml plugin: Support for XML namespaces has been added. Thanks
    to Dan Fandrich for his patch.
  * dbi plugin: Support for numeric options has been added. The
    "Host" option has been added. Thanks to Daniel Hilst for his patch.
  * disk plugin: Support for systems with >256 has been fixed. Thanks to
    Greg Mason for his patch.
  * libvirt plugin: Support for memory allocation has been added. Thanks
    to Johan Wirén for his patch.
  * netapp plugin: Support for "SnapVault", "VFiler" and deduplication /
    compression and quota metrics. Thanks to Sebastian Harl for his
    patches and teamix GmbH for sponsoring this work.
  * postgresql plugin: The reconnection logic has been improved. Thanks
    to Sebastian Harl for his patches.
  * rrdtool, rrdcached plugins: The "CreateFilesAsync" option has been
    implemented. When enabled, new RRD files will be created
    asynchronously, which improved throughput of "server" instances.
    Many thanks to Yves Mettier for all his input and code.
  * tail_csv plugin: This new plugins allows to read metrics from CSV
    files, such as Snort's statistics file. Thanks to Kris Nielander for
    his patch.
  * write_mongodb plugin: Authentication options have been added.
  * write_riemann plugin: This new plugin allows sending metrics to
    Riemann, a stream processing and alerting tool. Big thanks to
    Pierre-Yves Ritschard for his work.
