Download RRDtool 1.3.8

RRDtool is updated to version 1.3.8. The new version is from this page for Linux download. RRDtool can store various types of data and graphs of this to generate. Think of the data traffic of an internet connection and the number of emails sent. Version 1.3.8 has been released as a bug fix release by the developers before the 1.3.7 release. The changelog looks like this:

Bug fixes:

• python bindings memory handling fix by Anders Hammarquist (deb bug #529291)
• fix getopt_long integration on Solaris. Depending on the phase of the moon this bug had caused rrdtool to crash reliably as soon as it read its arguments. Especially when used in language bindings. Thanks to Ihsan Dogan for helping with the debugging.
• rrd_restore used casting a bit to liberally this caused it to fail horribly on 64bit platforms. Patch based in input provided by poster of rrd bug #218.
• make ruby ​​bindings compile with newer ruby ​​versions. #217 patch provided by rrd trac user
• Generate an error message when using RRDp with graph – this can not work reliably. (Debian Bug#251701) patch by Sebastian Harl

Plus a bunch of documentation updates and fixes.
