The 4.2.2 branch was then based on this, and I've added the following: * Rename the project to "Xymon" throughout the documentation and webpages * Added the BBWin support from BBWin 0.12. * Added the "trends" patch mentioned above * Added the "Config report" patch from Mandriva I'll add the split-NCV patch as well - it's been in "trunk" for some time, and I believe it has also been fairly well tested in the 4.2.x code by several people. So it should be safe. It will take a bit of hand-patching, though - so it isn't in there yet. But feel free to grab the code from svn and try it out. And it would be really nice if someone else would bother maintaining this branch once it's been released (Stef?) Regards, Henrik |
