- Multi Target Graphs
- Show information from multiple targets in a graph. See here..

- With one central Smokeping Master node, you can run a series of Slave nodes, taking their configuration from the master. This allows you to ping a single target from multiple locations. See here.
- Standard Deviation
- The standard deviation is now used in several places to give a number for the variation in round trip times as depicted by the smoke.
