-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>
-
