Release notes
=============
3.1.4:
------
* Web gui:
     - new access control criteria: IP address, hostname
     - tasks: scheduled requests, and possiblity to keep result history
     - custom graphs
* Performance improvements:
     - Improved rules-to-SQL conversion engine. Enable faster policy runs.
     - Auto-tune hash table sizes (changelog reader and entry processor).
     - Pipeline tuning to reduce CPU usage and improve ingestion rate.
     - Default linking to jemalloc memory allocator for better performance.
       Note: it is advised to start MariaDB with this allocator too
       to achieve maximal performance.
     - Fix major performance bug in changelog reader (appeared in v3.1.3).
* Configuration files: support %include directives in sub-blocks.
* New parameter to 'common.copy': "mkdir=yes" creates target directories
   prior to the copy operation.
