This is an new version of rrdtool that fixes several bugs. The main new feature of this release is that large graph expressions are processed magnitudes faster. For more details see the original announcement http://oss.oetiker.ch/rrdtool/forum.en.html#nabble-f937719

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Fedora security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Update the affected rrdtool package.
