New Features
------------
* RRDtrac website with Wiki, Bugtracking, SVN Code Browser

  http://people.ee.ethz.ch/oetiker/webtools/rrdtool-trac

* Added FLOSS exception to allow RRDtool to be legally used
  in connection with PHP and other tools with broken licenses.
  Check out the COPYRIGHT document in the release.

* Improved look of configure output on screen

* Do not require libcgi anymore. The necessary functionality has
  been integrated into rrd_cgi.c

* More detailed error messages from rrdtool graph

* Added Makefile.NewWare for building on Netware.

* Choose graph labels according to length of time shown in graph.

* New VDEF functions: least squares slope, intercept & correlation
  for simple forecasting.

* Improved rendering performance by not drawing co-linear points.

Bugfixes
--------
* Fix N: update bug where unknown was turned into zero.

* Added note on VDEF not being general purpose to the
  documentation.

* Fix misc bugs in the example scripts.

* When rrd_resize converts a v1 rrd to a v3 it should also update
  the header.

* Improved cygwin compatibility of configure script

* Allow mmap for cygwin

* Properly make clean bindings

* Minus two memory leaks in rrd_gfx.c

* Fix handling of gdef step in rrd_graph

* Make -r option for rrd_restore work

* Do not double free in rrd_restore.

* Allocate enough memory in rrd_fetch even when 0 rows are
  requested.

* Do not compare floating point numbers directly in rrd_graph
  the results were wrong more often than right.

* Make rrd_tool work better on systems without chroot ability.


Cheers
Tobi

        make[1]: Leaving directory `/dar/build/rrdtool-1.2.12'
        make: *** [all] Error 2

I also noticed that the 1.2.12 package install the following 2 files in a
1.2.11 directory:

        /usr/share/tclrrd1.2.11/ifOctets.tcl
        /usr/share/tclrrd1.2.11/pkgIndex.tcl

So somewhere 1.2.11 is still being referenced.

As usual, if I get this fixed, you can find new releases at:
