[Rrd-announce] rrdtool 1.4.5 - zero bugs in rrdtool bugtracker

[Tobias Oetiker]

Folks,

To finish the year with a clean slate, I went through the rrdtool
bug tracker and worked down the list of open bugs to zero. This and
all the fixes for the last five months are in rrdtool 1.4.5.

Get your copy from:

  http://oss.oetiker.ch/rrdtool

1.4.5 is the last release produced with the support of the 2010
rrdtool sponsors.

I have already signed several silver sponsors for 2011, but
unfortunately I have not yet been successful in finding any gold
sponsors for next year. If your company benefits from the continued
up-keep of rrdtool. I'd be glad to talk to you. There are still
spots for silver and gold sponsorship open!
