-netdata (1.7.0) - 2017-07-16
-
- * netdata is still spreading fast
-
-   we are at 320.000 users and 132.000 servers
-
-   Almost 100k new users, 52k new installations and 800k docker pulls
-   since the previous release, 4 and a half months ago.
-
-   netdata user base grows at about 1000 new users and 600 new servers
-   per day. Thank you. You are awesome.
-
- * The next release (v1.8) will be focused on providing a global health
-   monitoring service, for all netdata users, for free.
-
- * netdata is now a (very fast) fully featured statsd server and the
-   only one with automatic visualization: push a statsd metric and hit
-   F5 on the netdata dashboard: your metric visualized. It also supports
-   synthetic charts, defined by you, so that you can correlate and
-   visualize your application the way you like it.
-
- * netdata got new installation options
-   It is now easier than ever to install netdata - we also distribute a
-   statically linked netdata x86_64 binary, including key dependencies
-   (like bash, curl, etc) that can run everywhere a Linux kernel runs
-   (CoreOS, CirrOS, etc).
-
- * metrics streaming and replication has been improved significantly.
-   All known issues have been solved and key enhancements have been added.
-   Headless collectors and proxies can now send metrics to backends when
-   data source = as collected.
-
- * backends have got quite a few enhancements, including host tags and
-   metrics filtering at the netdata side;
-   prometheus support has been re-written to utilize more prometheus
-   features and provide more flexibility and integration options.
-
- * netdata now monitors ZFS (on Linux and FreeBSD), ElasticSearch,
-   RabbitMQ, Go applications (via expvar), ipfw (on FreeBSD 11), samba,
-   squid logs (with web_log plugin).
-
- * netdata dashboard loading times have been improved significantly
-   (hit F5 a few times on a netdata dashboard - it is now amazingly fast),
-   to support dashboards with thousands of charts.
-
- * netdata alarms now support custom hooks, so you can run whatever you
-   like in parallel with netdata alarms.
-
- * As usual, this release brings dozens of more improvements, enhancements
-   and compatibility fixes.
-
-
-netdata (1.6.0) - 2017-03-20
-
- * birthday release: 1 year netdata
-
-   netdata was first published on March 30th, 2016.
-   It has been a crazy year since then:
-
-     225.000 unique netdata users
-             currently, at 1.000 new unique users per day
-
-      80.000 unique netdata installations
-             currently, at 500 new installation per day
-
-     610.000 docker pulls on docker hub
-
-   4.000.000 netdata sessions served
-             currently, at 15.000 sessions served per day
-
-      20.000 github stars
-
-             Thank you!
-          You are awesome!
-
- * central netdata is here
-
-   This is the first release that supports real-time streaming of
-   metrics between netdata servers.
-
-   netdata can now be:
-
-   - autonomous host monitoring
-     (like it always has been)
-
-   - headless data collector
-     (collect and stream metrics in real-time to another netdata)
-
-   - headless proxy
-     (collect metrics from multiple netdata and stream them to another netdata)
-
-   - store and forward proxy
-     (like headless proxy, but with a local database)
-
-   - central database
-     (metrics from multiple hosts are aggregated)
-
-   metrics databases can be configured on all nodes and each node maintaining
-   a database may have a different retention policy and possibly run
-   (even different) alarms on them.
-
- * monitoring ephemeral nodes
-
-   netdata now supports monitoring autoscaled ephemeral nodes,
-   that are started and stopped on demand (their IP is not known).
-
-   When the ephemeral nodes start streaming metrics to the central
-   netdata, the central netdata will show register them at "my-netdata"
-   menu on the dashboard.
-
-   For more information check:
-   https://github.com/netdata/netdata/tree/master/streaming#monitoring-ephemeral-nodes
-
- * monitoring ephemeral containers and VM guests
-
-   netdata now cleans up container, guest VM, network interfaces and mounted
-   disk metrics, disabling automatically their alarms too.
-
-   For more information check:
-   https://github.com/netdata/netdata/tree/master/collectors/cgroups.plugin#monitoring-ephemeral-containers
-
- * apps.plugin ported for FreeBSD
-
-   @vlvkobal has ported "apps.plugin" to FreeBSD. netdata can now provide
-   "Applications", "Users" and "User Groups" on FreeBSD.
-
- * web_log plugin
-
-   @l2isbad has done a wonderful job creating a unified web log parsing plugin
-   for all kinds of web server logs. With it, netdata provides real-time
-   performance information and health monitoring alarms for web applications
-   and web sites!
-
-   For more information check:
-   https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/collectors/python.d.plugin/web_log#web_log
-
- * backends
-
-   netdata can now archive metrics to `JSON` backends
-   (both push, by @lfdominguez, and pull modes).
-
- * IPMI monitoring
-
-   netdata now has an IPMI plugin (based on freeipmi)
-   for monitoring server hardware.
-
-   The plugin creates (up to) 8 charts:
-
-    1. number of sensors by state
-    2. number of events in SEL
-    3. Temperatures CELCIUS
-    4. Temperatures FAHRENHEIT
-    5. Voltages
-    6. Currents
-    7. Power
-    8. Fans
-
-   It also supports alarms (including the number of sensors in critical state).
-
-   For more information, check:
-   https://github.com/netdata/netdata/tree/master/collectors/freeipmi.plugin
-
- * new plugins
