[pcp-announce] Performance Co-Pilot 3.8.12 released

[Nathan Scott <nathans@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

An important issue was found in the 3.8.10 release affecting
the metrics namespace for new installations (not upgrades) of
PCP.  To address this quickly, as well as incorporate all the
good work done in that last few weeks, we've released 3.8.12
much earlier than we usually would.

In addition to the PMNS file fix referenced above, there has
been further work been done on optimizing pmlogger(1) and an
important fix has been made to the Linux kernel SNMP procfs
file parser, amongst other things.


pcp-3.8.12 (29 January 2014)
    - Fix recent (3.8.10) regression for certain platforms where
      important PMNS files ended up not being installed.  Impact
      is on new installs only, not upgrades (so my QA missed it).
    - pmmgr: add -l (logfile) option to fix a permissions issue.
    - pmdalinux: fix sigsegv on certain icmp procfs file lines.
    - Further improvements to pmlogger internal data structures
      dealing with configuration files with duplicate metrics
      and/or instances - improved in terms of network fetching,
      as well as on-disk data layout (all backwards compatible).
    - pmdarpm: added cumulative rpm.total.{count,bytes} metrics.
    - Add man pages for all of the PMDAs currently missing one.
