[Ganglia-developers] First prerelease of ganglia-3.0.3 ready for testing

[Martin K. <kn...@kn...>]

Hi friends of Ganglia,

 please find the first test drop of the upcoming ganglia-3.0.3 release
at:

http://www.knobisoft.de/ganglia/ganglia-3.0.3.200602231926-apr0.9.7.tar.gz

 This is again planned to be a minor bug-fix release which is supposed
to be compatible to earlier 3.0.X releases of ganglia.

 So far, the differences against 3.0.2 are minimal:

- minor fixes to the documentation
- make "gmetric" more robust against illegal numeric values, which
could cause gmetad to stop recording complete nodes.
- fix the libconfuse.spec file (Copyright -> License, Swedish Locales).
- fix "make check". Expat would not know how to do it.
- AIX: fix proc_total, proc_run, swap_free and swap_total. Implement
mem_cached
- introduce a scaling factor for the load -> colour-code transformation
in the web-frontend. The default of "1.0" is only good for HPC nodes.
Fileservers and similar would go "red" to early.
- replace "apr" with version 0.9.7. This is supposed to fix some
problems with large chunks of XML being truncated. In fact this is the
biggest change in this release and needs testing !!!

 So, please download and test. Especially on the non-Linux platforms.

Thanks
Martin
