5.10.2$$$Git Commits$$$$$$This release has several updates and bugfixes. Several improvements to various tables; and their handling.$$$$$$One potential breaking change; is in how the watchdog calculates CPU utilization.$$$Previously; this calculation was based on physical CPUs; now it is based on virtual cores. We believe this makes more sense with modern CPUs.$$$$$$A second potential breaking change; is in PR #8102. In addition to allowing decorations to the top level of the status logs; this PR normalizes the decorations format to the results log. In practice; this means that the unixTime; severity and line JSON fields are now numbers instead of strings.$$$$$$Representing commits from 18 contributors!
