           * * *   Release notes for Xymon 4.3.16   * * *
          <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

The only user-visible change since 4.3.14 is the new support for regular 
expressions in client-local.cfg. 4.3.15 accidentally caused all matching 
sections in client-local.cfg to be merged, so a host would receive both 
a host-specific configuration and the OS-default configuration. 
4.3.16 reverts this behaviour unless you run xymond with the new 
"--merge-clientconfig" option.

4.3.16 also fixes a couple of bugs introduced during the 4.3.13-4.3.15
series of releases:

   * Fix xymonnet crash on sending http test results
   * Fix xymond crash if client-local.cfg contains empty sections
   * Fix RPM-based initscript for clients with explicit hostname
   * Fix misleading error-message when testing for C-ARES library

           * * *   Release notes for Xymon 4.3.14   * * *
          <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>


In previous Xymon versions, a client-only configuration (i.e. one
configured with "./configure --client") would place the client
files in a "client" subdirectory below the directory specified 
during configuration. This is the same directory layout as a server 
installation, where the server and client parts of Xymon are
in separate subdirectories.
In 4.3.14, the default has changed so a client-only installation
now installs in the directory given during the configure-step.
The "/client" has been eliminated, so if you are upgrading an
existing client you must either move the old client installation
one level up from the "client/" directory, or change the Makefile
generated by "configure --client" and add "/client" to the 
XYMONTOPDIR setting.

The SNI support added in 4.3.13 causes problems with some older
webservers, whose SSL implementation cannot handshake correctly
when SNI is used. The failed handshake causes Xymon to report
the site as down. In 4.3.14, the default is changed so SNI is
disabled. A new "--sni" option was added to xymonnet to control the
default setting, and two new tags "sni" and "nosni" can be used in 
hosts.cfg to control SNI for each host that is tested.
