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,
