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
