RRDutil 2.03 is now released.

New features:  none.

What's the big fat hairy deal then?

RRDutil and it's perl modules have been reworked entirely on the back end. It is entirely self contained and no longer requires that Mail::Toaster or MATT::Bundle be installed. All the modules external functions are object oriented so nothing is exported. This makes future additions and code maintenance easier and less prone to errors.

I have tested this on three of my servers and all is well for me. I'd like a couple brave souls to give it a whirl and let me know how it goes. Ideally, you won't notice any difference.
