Hi all,

Announcing the latest and greatest PCP releases to date - pcp-3.3.1,
pcp-gui-1.4.7 and PCP Glider 0.9.6.  pcp-3.3.1 contains two new and/
or improved configuration tools - pmlogconf and pmieconf - automating
management of pmlogger and pmie configuration files for server farms.
Any feedback on the use of these tools would be much appreciated!  We
also have a slew of other goodies - many new metrics and bug fixes.
The GUI update is primarily resolving an installer incompatibility
on the latest Mac OS X, and the PCP Glider update provides a major
revision to the toolchain on Windows.

Available from the usual locations: http://oss.sgi.com/projects/pcp/
