+netdata (1.8.0) - 2017-09-17
+
+ This is mainly a bugfix release.
+ Please check full changelog at github.
+
+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>
+

+
+ At a glance:
+
+-   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:
+
+-   uuid-dev (debian/ubuntu), or
+-   libuuid-devel (centos/fedora/redhat)
+
+ In detail:
+
+-   netdata is now 30% faster !
+

+        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)
+

+    without setuid to root
+
+-   netdata has now an improved signal handler
+    thanks to @simonnagl
