[Nagios-announce] Nagios 2.0b5 Available

[Ethan G. <na...@na...>]

Nagios 2.0b5 is now available for download from:

	http://www.nagios.org/download/

This release includes a number of important bug fixes that were made 
since the beta 4 release, so if you're running a beta version of 2.0, 
please consider upgrading.

FYI, the FreeBSD threads issue still exists with this beta release.  
I'll try and squash this bug before 2.0 (stable) is released if I'm 
able to get more detailed information on what versions of FreeBSD are 
affected.  Unless major problems are found in the existing code, 2.0 
will be released as stable by years end.
