In case you didn't notice, Nagios 2.7 was released this weekend.  The 
new release fixes several bugs present in the 2.6 release, so I would 
recommend that everyone upgrade.

You can download Nagios 2.7 from http://www.nagios.org/download/

The biggest fix is for a likely segfault that could occur when scheduled 
downtime entries are manually removed/deleted before their expiration 
time.  In this instance, Nagios would/should segfault, so I changed the 
way downtime expiration was handled a bit to hopefully fix the problem.

Here's the Changelog since 2.6:

2.7 - 01/19/2007
----------------
* p1.pl now sets environment var (NAGIOS_PLUGIN) to indicate patch of 
plugin that is executing
* Updated nagiostats with new MRTG vars for tracking buffer usage
* Added sample MRTG config file
* Minor patches to availability and status CGIs
* Minor documentation updates
* Fix for segfault during expiration or deletion of scheduled downtime
* Fix for scheduling immediate service check through WAP interface
* Fix for leading whitespace before comments in object config files


Also of note, the new 2.7 release breaks earlier releases of the 
NDOUtils addon, so I posted a new release (1.4b2) of NDOUtils as well. 
The new beta version of NDOUtils can be obtained from the Nagios 
download page mentioned above.

A quick note about Nagios 3.x development...

There are a few coding changes that I still need to make before Nagios 3 
hits an alpha release.  I am currently in the process of updating the 
documentation, which is proving to be not-so-fun, as I am reviewing and 
rewriting almost every section of docs.  Once I document enough of the 
new changes that have been made since the Nagios 2.x fork, I'll post a 
message to the nagios-devel list and start making alpha releases 
available for early testers.  This may happen as early as the end of 
February, but I'm not making any promises. :-)
