* Munin::Plugin::Pgslq: Clean the fieldnames before returning them, so
we don't generate invalid data with for example a dash in the
database name.
* jmx_: Add authentication support, fix exceptions in various memory
related parts, refactor connection negotiation to one central
connection class, add default connection info for jmx_, so we
actually are a bit autoconfy
* munin_update: Update to work correctly with 1.4, document and enhance a bit
* munin_stats: Provide better graph_info and set some warning and
critical levels at 4 minutes and 4m45s
* Improove colors contrast in jmx plugins which have Max area, to make
them more readable + fix some indentation
* ntp_offset: make info into graph_info
* Munin-(node|run): Make group name resolution lazy, enhance error
messages and reinstate the group foo,(bar) syntax

* postgres_querylength_: Fix query that can never have worked...
* Switch fonts to DejaVuSans og DejaVuSansMono. Vera is now obsoleted
by DejaVu in most contexts.

INSTALLERS: On platforms with RRD 1.3 the fonts need not be removed
and no paths need to be installed as long as the DejaVuSans font
family is installed.

* Reorder somewhat to get lines on top of areas
* Patch from blueyed to make munin-*cgi-graph work
* snmp__if_multi: Only set .max if the interface speed has been obtained

Users of Munin 1.2 in combination with NMSes
--------------------------------------------

There are two issues that have been reported.

Users of Munin in combination with Nagios have reported that because
some graphs have changed their "graph_title" setting this
dis-associates the tests from the right nagios checks.

Also some plugins do not have default warning and critical levels set
any more (e.g. "load") because the opinions on what is "normal" load
differs widely. This means that the plugins will not send warning and
critical events to contacts any more. The warning and critical levels
should be settable for all of these plugins, please use the command
"munindoc <plugin>" on the host where the plugin is installed to see
how to set these levels.

Too audit the differences in warning and critical levels you can make
a copy of the munin file called "datafile" before upgrading (or get
one from backup), and use egrep to get a listing of the settings prior
to update:

egrep '(warning|critical)' datafile.old

and again on the post-upgrade datafile to compare the lists so you can
specify the ones you need.
