"2.12 / 21-Jan-2024
- Fixed
- QueryMode documentation in configuration file didn't match implementation
or man page description
- Daemon didn't try to import legacy databases when --noadd was used and no
current version database initially existed resulting in the process
exiting even when something could have been done
- Daemon didn't try to import legacy databases when --initdb was used and
no current version database initially existed, this behaviour can still
be enabled by using --noadd in combination with --initdb
- Using --nodaemon and --initdb at the same time didn't result in an error
being shown
- New
- Add 95th percentile output as --95th, also available via --alert, --json,
--xml and image output, requires 5MinuteHours configuration to be set to
at least 744 for storing all the necessary data
- Add --json support for --alert
- Database queries resulting in error exit with status 1
- Show spinning animation at the beginning of -l / --live output line,
visibility configurable using LiveSpinner configuration option
- Add -ic / --invert-colors option to image output for facilitating for
example dark mode switching without needing to have multiple separate
color configurations
- Add dark mode option to image output example cgi (examples/vnstat.cgi)
- Add option 4 to QueryMode for selecting summary output of single
interface regardless of the number of interfaces in the database
- Add optional mode parameter to -q / --query for overriding QueryMode
for summary output and for enabling control of summary output style
regardless of the number of interfaces in the database
- Add --startempty option to daemon for starting and keeping the daemon
running even if no interfaces were discovered and the database is empty
- Add --noremove option to daemon for disabling the automatic removal of
interfaces from database that aren't currently visible and haven't seen
any traffic
- Add third mode option to --iflist and --dbiflist for getting only the
interface count as output"

"2.11 / 19-Aug-2023
- Fixed
- Database queries worked only if SQLite double-quoted string (DQS)
feature (https://www.sqlite.org/quirks.html#dblquote) was enabled
- Disabling data resolutions in data retention configuration didn't result
in possibly existing database entries getting removed from the database
- Disabling data resolutions in data retention configuration didn't result
in the data resolution getting disabled but instead storing data forever
- "expr: syntax error" during configure in BSD (pull request by namtsui)
- Image output summary would show only "no data available" text in case of
zero total traffic even when the historical data of no traffic could have
been shown instead
- Image output "-o -" content could get corrupted due to info, warning and
error messages also using stdout, configuration file warnings being the
most likely source, now uses stderr in image output
- Configuration validation was too heavily limiting and enforcing image
output 5 minute graph related configuration options for combinations that
would have resulted in usable images
- New
- Database cleanup has been changed to interpret data retention
configuration as number of entries to be kept instead of calendar time,
this restores the behaviour to similar as it was up to version 1.18, the
difference is visible only on systems that aren't powered all the time
- Database is vacuumed during daemon startup and reload, behaviour is
configurable using VacuumOnStartup and VacuumOnHUPSignal configuration
options
- Add configuration option InterfaceOrder for controlling the interface
order in outputs with multiple interfaces
- Used data retention configuration is made visible during daemon startup
and after configuration reloads
- Daemon will no longer start if all data resolutions have been disabled
in the configuration file
- SQLite version is visible in --version outputs
- Notes
- "Not enough data available yet." message has been replaced with
"No data. Timestamp of last update is same YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS as of
database creation." to better explain the reason why there's nothing to
show, this message is expected to disappear within configured
SaveInterval if the interface is active"

"2.10 / 22-Oct-2022
- Fixed
- BandwidthDetection in BSD wasn't correctly converting kernel reported
bits per second values to Mbits per second resulting in a sanity check
being triggered and detected values not being used expect for PPPoE
interfaces which incorrectly were detected as 64000 Mbit
- Image output of 5 minute graph wasn't possible if data retention of the
5 minute time period was configured as unlimited
(pull request by Sebastian Lechte)
- Estimates and average rates weren't calculated correctly for daily,
monthly and yearly time periods when monitoring of the interface had been
started during the ongoing time period
- Estimates weren't being shown in summary output when OutputStyle or
--style was configured with a value less than 2 (vnstat)
- Alignment of column header in short output wasn't correct when
OutputStyle or --style was configured with the value 0 (vnstat)
- New
- Support input of more than 31 characters in interface name when using
interface1+interface2 syntax data merge queries
- Support passing --config option multiple times, later files override
earlier files if settings overlap (vnstat and vnstati)
- Add configuration option EstimateVisible for controlling the visibility
of the estimate line
- Add configuration option EstimateText for modifying the default
"estimated" text string when the estimate line is visible
- Add --style support to -tr / --traffic output
- Add summary option to --json and --xml outputs
- Add timestamps to --json and --xml outputs
- Add Prometheus compatible metrics endpoint cgi to examples
(examples/vnstat-metrics.cgi)"

Triggered by Bug #12846 - in this context I noticed that vnstat had been updated to version 2.9.
For details see:
https://humdi.net/vnstat/CHANGES
"2.9 / 23-Jan-2022
- Fixed
- RescanDatabaseOnSave configuration option wasn't being read from the
configuration file resulting in the feature always being enabled
- Hourly graph image output using large fonts didn't correctly fade out
the x-axis line for hours not having data available
- New
- Add --alert for producing output and/or specific exit status when
configured condition and transfer limit is exceeded, can also be used
for "quota remaining" type of queries depending on used parameters
- Add configuration option InterfaceMatchMethod which allows configuring
the possibility of specifying an interface for database queries by using
its alias instead of system provided interface name, enabled by default
to support case insensitive matching of the beginning of interface
aliases (vnstat and vnstati)
- Image output file extension allows selecting the used image file format
as long as the used LibGD supports it, PNG is no longer the only option
- Add configuration option HourlyGraphMode for changing the output mode
of the graph, 0 = 24 hour sliding window (default, as in previous
releases), 1 = graph begins from midnight
- Add mode parameter for -hg / --hoursgraph options for overriding the
HourlyGraphMode configuration option setting from the command line
- Add vertical line to image output hourly graph to visualize midnight
- Add -t / --timestamp options to daemon for enabling timestamps to prints
when the daemon is running in the foreground attached to a terminal
- Accept ; as comment character in configuration file in addition to #
- Comment out keywords which are using default values with ; character in
provided configuration file and --showconfig output
2.8 / 4-Sep-2021
- Fixed
- Using a combination of --live and --json wasn't flushing stdout after
each line resulting in buffered output if the output was being piped
- Image output would fail to show the last line bar graph in list outputs
if EstimateStyle was 0, BarColumnShowsRate was 1 and the last line had a
higher traffic rate than other lines
- Image output didn't correctly horizontally align the "no data available"
message in 5 minute graph depending on the width of the image
- Image output related configuration warnings could get shown when image
output wasn't being used
- Warnings of mismatches between image output and data retention
configuration didn't provide relevant details for solving the issues
- BandwidthDetection was being used for tun interfaces even when the
Linux kernel had the information hardcoded to 10 Mbit regardless of the
used real interface, interface specific MaxBW will now be used instead
or MaxBandwidth as fallback
- Configured interface specific MaxBW values were getting overridden by
BandwidthDetection when something could be detected
- Image output horizontal rx/tx bars often had one pixel too much width in
the tx section resulting in slightly wrong ratio getting shown
- Top days list wasn't always sorting entries with exactly the same traffic
sum using ascending date
- 64bitInterfaceCounters with value -2 always assumed 32-bit on Linux
systems until a 64-bit value was seen if kernel headers weren't available
when binaries were built
- New
- Add the possibility of specifying an interface without using the
-i / --iface options (vnstat and vnstati)
- The daemon can discover added interfaces from the database without
requiring a restart, configurable with option RescanDatabaseOnSave
- Add configuration option UseUTC for using UTC as timezone for database
entries instead of following the system timezone configuration
- --iflist uses user configured interface specific MaxBW values in the
output when available instead of showing only the kernel provided
information when detected
- Add configuration option AlwaysAddNewInterfaces to expose the daemon
--alwaysadd command line option which gains an optional mode parameter
- Image output uses LibGD filled arc bug workaround only for LibGD
versions that are known to be broken
- Image output example cgi (examples/vnstat.cgi) improvements
- Automatically lists all monitored interfaces instead of requiring the
list to be filled manually, server name in page title comes from
hostname command by default
- Provides links for most available images to more detailed or longer
versions of each image
- Allows direct interface specific page access with /interfacename suffix
for the cgi if the used httpd supports PATH_INFO
- Page auto refresh can be enabled with configurable interval"
Please note:
As mentioned above, the default values in 2.9 are commented out. I have reversed this
by adding a simple 'sed' command to the lfs file.
Another possibility would have been to extend the existing sed commands. If this
is desired differently, please report.
As - nearly - always: running here with no seen problems...

Historically, the MD5 checksums in our LFS files serve as a protection
against broken downloads, or accidentally corrupted source files.
While the sources are nowadays downloaded via HTTPS, it make sense to
beef up integrity protection for them, since transparently intercepting
TLS is believed to be feasible for more powerful actors, and the state
of the public PKI ecosystem is clearly not helping.
Therefore, this patch switches from MD5 to BLAKE2, updating all LFS
files as well as make.sh to deal with this checksum algorithm. BLAKE2 is
notably faster (and more secure) than SHA2, so the performance penalty
introduced by this patch is negligible, if noticeable at all.
In preparation of this patch, the toolchain files currently used have
been supplied with BLAKE2 checksums as well on
https://source.ipfire.org/.

Bumping across one of our scripts with very long trailing whitespaces, I
thought it might be a good idea to clean these up. Doing so, some
missing or inconsistent licence headers were fixed.
There is no need in shipping all these files en bloc, as their
functionality won't change.

I had to add some 'configure'-lines to build this - nevertheless: its
working. ;-)
'vnstat.conf' needed some additional 'sed'-lines, too.

Ramdisks are very limited in space and as new graphs
are generated for OpenVPN N2N connections, etc. more
space is necessary.
This patch will enable ramdisks for all systems with more
than 490M of memory and allows the user to force using
a ramdisk on systems with less memory.

Update vnstat to version 1.11, which also contains
the vnstati binary, for making graphs.
Remove the separate vnstati package.
This commit does not contain anything for doing
backups before upgrading, since I do not know
how that works.
The source for vnstat-1.11 has been downloaded from :
http://humdi.net/vnstat/vnstat-1.11.tar.gz
The changelog for vnstat-11 is here :
