[pcp-announce] Performance Co-Pilot 3.9.10 released

[Nathan Scott <nathans@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

The latest and greatest version of PCP has been released.  You'll
find it here:

    http://pcp.io

or the source here:
    git://git.pcp.io/pcp

or via the github mirror, here:
    https://github.com/performancecopilot/pcp.git

For me, the highlight of this release is the way Dave has clawed
back significant ground in the PCP daemons memory utilisation and
at the same time improved the code (but, small things amuse me).

You, on the other hand, might enjoy the new PAPI PMDA from Lukas
(first time PCP contributor, all round nice guy) or the nanosecond
resolution event timestamps, or the pmatop updates from Stan, the
revitalised FreeBSD port - maybe the many improvements to the GFS2
instrumentation are your cup of tea?  or perhaps, the hidden gem -
the fantastic work across the code-base to lift the test pass rate
and generally make this an especially awesome release.

I'm going to have a holiday to celebrate.  See you in a week!
