[Xymon] Xymon 4.3.8 available

[Jeremy Laidman]

Henrik

I just now noticed (as I'm building 4.3.8 for a SUSE package) that I still
need to apply my "combostatus" patch.

Any chance of having this considered for inclusion in an upcoming release?

The original problem was described at this thread:

http://lists.xymon.com/pipermail/xymon/2011-September/032475.html

Somehow the thread was split and the remainder of the thread (including my
patch) is here:

http://lists.xymon.com/pipermail/xymon/2011-September/032480.html

By the way, you have my eternal gratitude for your work on Xymon.

Cheers
Jeremy
