- Textual MQTT topics working in dcdbpusher and data analytics framework
- REST API still not working properly
- Testing on the collectagent not performed yet

- a "filter" configuration parameter has been added, which is used
to discard sensor names when building the sensor navigator
- Can be used to e.g. build a sensor navigator in a collectagent
using only the sensors that are directly collected by it
- Implemented a switch to select leftmost/rightmost binary search
in CacheEntry, used for the QueryEngine

- Parsing of host:port network addresses is handled by GlobalConfiguration
- -p dcdbpusher command line parameter (broker port) removed and integrated
into the -b argument

- The GlobalConfiguration class includes all shared logic to read and
parse configuration attributes for the collectagent and dcdbpusher
- The class is further expanded to add application-specific
configuration parameters and blocks

- When performing sensor queries with absolute timestamps (rel=false) a
binary search algorithm is used to compute the bounds of the required
sensor cache view
- This is more accurate than the fuzzy method employed with relative
timestamps (rel=true)

- QueryEngine integration done (but not functional yet, debugging required)
- Changed behavior on exceptional conditions: if SensorNavigator or
AnalyticsManager initialization fails, termination follows
- Now the QueryEngine can also access output sensors of other Analyzers
- Minor bugfixes

- First step for integration of the analytics framework in the collectagent
- QueryEngine and REST API integration still missing
- Proper testing still to be done
- Added a probe function: the global config file is scanned before
initialization, and if no data analytics plugins are requested, no
sensor navigator is built

- Added some more indentation to make the configurations more readable
- Fixed one more warning in dcdbquery

- Boolean configuration options now all accept "true" and "on" keywords
- Cache interval and thread count parameters removed from the command-line
interface for consistency; these can still be set in the config files
like all other parameters
- global.conf file renamed to dcdbpusher.conf for consistency

- Sensor caches across DCDB are now managed by the CacheEntry
implementation under "common"
- Provides utility methods to perform averages, checks, get views etc.
- SensorCache class in collectagent kept due to its libdcdb dependencies

- Removed dependencies from data analytics framework to dcdbpusher
- Checks for correctness of MQTT topics moved to the mqttChecker shared class

- Fixed some linking issues with the SensorNavigator
- dcdbpusher now uses the common logging interface to setup file and
command-line sinks
