[Barry T. C. <bca...@op...>]

It’s time for This Week in OpenNMS.
Project Updates

1.8: Current Release is 1.8.3-1
1.8.3-1 is the current stable release, tagged 12 August 2010. For a complete list of changes and updates, see the “New and Noteworthy” page on the OpenNMS wiki. As always, it is recommended that you back up your database before upgrading.
We worked on getting the remote pollers to scale more gracefully.
We continued to add support for IPv6.
Work continues on the iPhone/iPad app, which we expect to move into testing shortly.
