Hey everyone

So, yesterday's release of Flent uncovered a couple of issues. True to
the 'release early, release often' principle, I have released a new
version 0.11.0 that fixes these. Please use this version rather than
0.10.0.

As before, Flent can be installed via pip by issuing `pip install flent`,
or on Arch Linux through the Aur. Pre-built packages are available for
Debian and Ubuntu at
https://software.opensuse.org/download.html?project=home:tohojo:flent&package=flent.

The issues discovered after the release of v0.10.0 which are fixed in
this release are:

- The file format extension has changed to `.flent` as plain-text JSON
  files, with optional compression as `.flent.gz` and `.flent.bz2`. The
  default output is `.flent.gz`.

- Data files are no longer written to the current working directory by
  default. Instead, they are written to the system TMPDIR. A new switch,
  `-D` controls the location of the data files. Run with `-D .` to
  retain the old behaviour. This can also be set from the rcfile to have
  a default directory to store all data files.

- Name clash issues in the Debian packaging preventing the `flent`
  binary from working has been fixed.

- The `notsent_lowat`, `limit_output_bytes` and `timestamps` sysctl
  settings are now captured as part of the extended metadata.


As always, please report issues to Github:

Thanks,
