[smokeping-users] Slave gaps in all charts during outage

[Tobias Oetiker]

Hi David,

there are about a ton of unreleased changes ...

* fix bug in storage of slave updatesL: when the local smokeping daemon
  running only the first update could be read back, the others were hidden
  in the storeable. --tobi

I am looking at
putting some effort into a new release next week.

cheers
tobi
