File Release Notes and Changelog

Release Name: 0.1.8

Notes:
22-NOV-2004: Release 0.1.8

This is planned to be the last release of RRFW. The software will continue
under the new name: Torrus. This transition will involve significant changes
in directory layout. See more details at
http://torrus.org/devdoc/torrus_roadmap.pod.html

In this release:

  1. IF-MIB leaf names are changed to the more user-friendly ones.

  2. devdiscover: the option --snmpdebug may be used for SNMP event debugging

  3. Some shortcuts moved from the bottom to the top of the page, with
     slightly different colouring.

  4. New parameter: help-text. Contains the description text for a subtree
     or a leaf. The text is opened in a new window by the new [Help] shortcut.
     Basic markup is supported for bold and italics.

  5. Leaf graphs page contains a new shortcut: [Explain graph], with a
     generic descripton of the graph content.

  6. New navigation shortcut: [Up] for climbing up the tree.

  7. Apache::ParseFormData is no longer used with Apache2 handler.
     A beta version of libapreq2 should be used instead.

  8. examples/rrdup_notify.sh: this script checks if there are any RRD files
     older than specified amount of time, and sends an e-mail notification with
     the list of such files. This is the most effective way to make sure your
     collectors are up and running.

  9. Collector and monitor set their process names to reflect their options
     and status.

  10. New user privilege: DisplayAdmInfo. It may be assigned to the group of
     site administrators. It allows to watch the parameter values from the
     web interface.

  11. The monitor now runs under the same scheduler as Collector.
     Two new mandatory parameters for the monitored leaf:
     'monitor-period' and 'monitor-timeoffset'. Schedulerinfo utility
     now shows statistics for collectors and monitors.
