[lttng-dev] [RELEASE] LTTng-Tools 2.4.3

[Jérémie Galarneau]

Hi all,

The lttng-tools project provides a session daemon (lttng-sessiond) that
acts as a tracing registry, the "lttng" command line for tracing
control, an lttng-ctl library for tracing control and an lttng-relay daemon
to provide network streaming and live reading capabilities.

This is version 2.4.3 which includes no less than 53 fixes which were
merged since the 2.4.2 release ~4 months ago.

A significant portion of these fixes were merged in the last few weeks
as part of the 2.6 release stabilization effort.

Of particular note are fixes pertaining to erroneous RCU usage which could
cause lockups or corruption under heavy loads and a data loss fix which
was discussed on this mailing list [1].

Take note that, as per our maintainance guidelines, LTTng 2.4 will no
longer be supported once LTTng 2.6 (final) is released.
