rrdtool (1.9.0-1) unstable; urgency=high

  With 1.9.0 support for the old init-style start/stop script was dropped
  from the rrdcached package. The new systemd config takes the following
  environment variables from /etc/default/rrdcached to keep minimal
  compatibility.

    - BASE_PATH
    - JOURNAL_PATH

  rrdcached is then started with
  /usr/bin/rrdcached -g -B -b $BASE_PATH -j $JOURNAL_PATH

  The socket location is defined in rrdcached.socket and passed to
  rrdcached.service.

  If you had changed the default options in /etc/default/rrdcached,
  you *will* have to modify the systemd services.

rrdtool (1.3.1-4) unstable; urgency=high

  Starting with version 1.3, RRDtool uses libpango for handling text in
  graphs. When specifying fonts (e.g. using the --font option of rrdgraph(1))
  a Pango font description (e.g. "Times 20") has to be used instead of
  specifying truetype font files as in version 1.2. See the rrdgraph(1)
  manpage for details.

  Also, Pango expects strings to be encoded in UTF-8. RRDtool tries to take
  care of that but for it to work correctly the string's encoding has to match
  the locale settings or has to be UTF-8 encoded already. E.g. this might be a
  problem if rrdtool is called from a script whose encoding does not match the
  local settings.
