OK, I know that technically it is still Friday in Honolulu (just checked)
but the fact that practically we didn't yet produce a package and there are
no commits in either trunk or the 3.1 branch, while all discussions about
known bugs and their criticality has gone silent while the STATUS page has
no remaining open items for this release is not helping.

either way, so that anyone who has been waiting (like me) for this moment
I had just uploaded an "unofficial" release package for 3.1.0 in :

  http://tapir.sajinet.com.pe/ganglia/ganglia-3.1.0.tar.gz

this could be at least used by packagers as a starting point to rebasing
their packages for the official release package (which should be otherwise
very similar except that bootstrapped with more ancient versions of autotools)
and for everyone else that was waiting with anxiety for a stable version of
ganglia 3.1 that they can install for testing in their favorite
platform/cluster and give it a spin.

the main features of this release are :

  * Dynamically loaded metric support (DSO)
  * Scriptable metric support with Python
  * Modular frontend graph support
  * Platform support for DragonFlyBSD
  * Improved native metric support for Windows (Built with CygWin)
  * Bug fixes and Enhancements

and has been known to work (if sometimes in somehow tricky ways) in :

  * Linux (Fedora/RedHat/CentOS, Debian, Gentoo, SuSE/OpenSuSE)
  * [Open]Solaris
  * FreeBSD
  * NetBSD
  * OpenBSD
  * DragonflyBSD
  * Cygwin (no support for DSO yet)
  * AIX (no support for DSO yet)

it might work or not (most likely not, even if would maybe compile) in :

  * Darwin (AKA MacOS/X)
  * HPUX
  * Tru64 (AKA OSF/1)
  * Irix

read all the README, INSTALL and any other documentation you can get a hold
of as a lot of things had changed since 3.0.7, and be also careful when
upgrading from 3.0 as you would have to do it in a way that doesn't mix
ganglia 3.0 and 3.1 nodes in the same cluster (as defined by a multicast
address or unicast collector node) as that might misbehave (nothing that
could crash your cluster though, but not supported nonetheless)

please report back with any problems you will find or even better with reports
about how wonderfully this is working in your specific configuration and how
it is the best thing since sliced bread by making that old mainframe you had
lying around running OpenVMS into a great cluster reporting tool.

happy testing

Carlo
