Hi,

version 4.3.6 has been uploaded to Sourceforge a few moments ago, and 
should be available on the mirror sites when you read this.

This release is mostly a bug-fix release, although it also does include 
a few new features - most notable is perhaps the new "appfeed" utility 
to provide data for Xymon smartphone apps. I do not expect any more 
releases in the 4.3.x series, unless a critical bug is found. Work is 
now beginning on the 4.4 series, with the focus currently being on IPv6 
support.

The list of changes since 4.3.5 is below.


Regards,
Henrik
