+
+ * API improvements:
+
+ - reduction functions now support 'min', 'sum' and 'incremental-sum'.

+ web server (single threaded is better for IoT).

+
+ - can now run with command line argument 'without-files'
+ to prevent it from enumating all the open files/sockets/pipes
+ of all running processes.
+
+ - apps.plugin now scales the collected values to match the
+ the total system usage.
+
+ - apps.plugin can now report guest CPU usage per process.
+
+ - repeating errors are now logged once per process.
+
+ * netdata now runs with IDLE process priority (lower than nice 19)
+
+ * netdata now instructs the kernel to kill it first when it starves
+ for memory.
+
+ * netdata listens for signals:
+
+ - SIGHUP to netdata instructs it to re-open its log files
+ (new logrotate files added too).
+
+ - SIGUSR1 to netdata saves the database
+
+ - SIGUSR2 to netdata reloads health / alarms configuration
+
+ * netdata can now bind to multiple IPs and ports.

+
+ - netdata is now 30% faster
+ - netdata now has a registry (my-netdata dashboard menu)
+ - netdata now monitors Linux Containers (docker, lxc, etc)
+
+ IMPORTANT:
+ This version requires libuuid. The package you need is:

+
+ In detail:
+
+ * netdata is now 30% faster !
+
+ - Patches submitted by @fredericopissarra improved overall
+ netdata performance by 10%.
+
+ - A new improved search function in the internal indexes
+ made all searches faster by 50%, resulting in about
+ 20% better performance for the core of netdata.
+
+ - More efficient threads locking in key components
+ contributed to the overal efficiency.
+
+ * netdata now has a CENTRAL REGISTRY !
+
+ The central registry tracks all your netdata servers
+ and bookmarks them for you at the 'my-netdata' menu
+ on all dashboards.
+
+ Every netdata can act as a registry, but there is also
+ a global registry provided for free for all netdata users!
+
+ * netdata now monitors CONTAINERS !
+
+ docker, lxc, or anything else. For each container it monitors
+ CPU, RAM, DISK I/O (network interfaces were already monitored)

+ thanks to @simonnagl

+ InnoDB buffer pools, open files
+

+
+ * Dashboard: improved support for older web browsers
+ and mobile web browsers (thanks to @simonnagl)
+
+ * Multi-server dashboards now allow de-coupled refreshes for
+ each chart, so that if one netdata has a network latency
+ the other charts are not affected
+
