Graphite for Linux 0.9.9

Graphite 0.9.8 is now out and available for download. It available through PyPI (http://pypi.python.org/pypi) and the Launchpad project page (https://launchpad.net/graphite).<br /><br />This release is a major step forward for Graphite, with a long list of substantive enhancements only 3 months after the last release. One of the highlights is the move of our documentation to readthedocs.org, the docs are now built using Sphinx and they live in trunk under the 'docs' folder. Just commit any changes and readthedocs.org will automatically update by pulling changes from launchpad nightly.<br /><br />Features<br /><br /> * Composer UI menus have been updated to reflect all currently available functions and options<br /> * New threshold() function allows you to draw a horizontal line with a custom color and legend name (though color and legend name are not available through composer UI yet)<br /> * New summarize() function allows you to draw data at a lower precision than it is stored at (ie. draw hourly datapoints for minutely data)<br /> * New group() function allows you to specify a collection of metrics for passing to other functions that require a single arg, without using wildcards.<br /> * Retention configurations support a new more convenient syntax (see Bug #697896)<br /> * Carbon's logging of every whisper update can be disabled now (set LOG_UPDATES = False in carbon.conf)<br /> * Carbon-relay can now specify ports for remote carbon-caches<br /> * Timezones can now be specified at render-time using Olson timezone names (see pytz)<br /> * Saved MyGraphs now support a hierarchical structure when dots are used in the saved graph names<br /> * By popular request, carbon now ignores improperly formatted datapoint lines rather than disconnecting the client (Bug #589476)<br /> * X-axis labeling has been revamped to avoid overlapping and confusing labels<br /> * RPM and source RPM packages are available for download. Note that they currently do not check dependencies and do not perform post-install tasks. This means they are suitable for upgrades but the usual install doc will need to be followed for new installations. Please contribute feedback regarding these packages so we can make them work out of the box on Fedora and CentOS.
