Thread-topic: Performance Co-Pilot releases - pcp-3.9.0 and pcp-gui-1.5.12
Hi all,

It's been a busy few weeks since the last release, and shiny
new PCP and PCP GUI packages are now available for download!
This PCP release introduces some packaging changes, and the
3.8 -> 3.9 version number change is to reflect this.  There
are new rpm and deb packages for pcp-conf, pcp-manager and
pcp-webapi.  This separates configuration from the libraries
(primarily for multilib support) and some daemons have moved
into their own little packages.

There is new Python module documentation in the Programmers
Guide, and several new pmchart features and fixes - so it is
well worth upgrading everything, right away.  :^)

    - pmdagluster: improvements to multiple volume handling
    - pmdagluster: support for additional file operations
    - pmlogextract: <mark> record handling fix
    - pmdas: further robustness improvements to dynamic names
    - pmdas: Install scripts can run even when pmcd is stopped
    - pmdanfsclient: add source code (not yet enabled in build),
      thanks to Ben Myers
    - pcp-archive.5 man page: new, documents on-disk log format
    - pmdammv: fix sigsegv when no MMV tempdir is present
    - pmclient: updated to match the Programmers Guide examples
    - pmapi.py: fix python interface to pmLocaltime and pmCtime
    - debian: use autotools-dev to update config.{sub,guess},
      thanks to Logan Rosen
    - pmdumplog: add a -x option for extended timestamp reports
    - pmie: fix count_* operators with dynamic instance domains
    - pmie: fix fetch logic with dynamic instance domains
    - testsuite: ensure pcpqa account creation does not warn
    - testsuite: numerous new tests, updates to existing tests

pcp-gui 1.5.12 (19 February 2014)
    - Updates to the Programmers Guide to cover Python modules
    - Fix removal of plots from a chart with multiple selections
    - Fix pmchart window resizing on chart deletion and title
      changes
    - Improvements to Edit Chart dialog plot deletion and later
      re-animation
    - Ensure correct pmContext is used for several libqmc calls
    - Support full hostname dynamic expansion via %H, analagous
      to the existing short hostname dynamic expansion via %h,
      for chart titles.
    - Fix %i expansion in pmchart plot legend; during the File
      -> Save View menu option this plot wildcard was not being
      preserved.
    - Extend the wildcard set for plot legends - full and short
      variants for instances, metrics and hosts now exist, with
      the heuristics used for shortening described in pmchart(1).
    - Update pmchart Metric Search dialog to display hosts also,
      for all matching search results.
    - Add to the UI and search logic to allow regular expression
      matching on host names, in addition to metric and instance
      names.
    - Improve pmchart metric selection with multiple hosts - for
      this case, do not expand all namespace trees all at once,
      it results in UI clutter.  Just show the top level hosts,
      initially, so the user can choose where navigation starts.

Enjoy!
