I've just made the release-candidate of version 4.2.2 available
for download on Sourceforge.
https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=128058&package_id=140220&release_id=644075
This is how I would expect the interim 4.2.2 release to be.
It includes the following changes from 4.2.0:
*) Due to the Hobbit project being renamed to Xymon (for
legal reasons), the documentation has been updated to
refer to this as the name of the project.
*) All patches from the "all-in-one" patch have been applied
*) Patches from Debian and Mandriva source archives and
elsewhere have been merged, fixing:
- The "Critical Systems" configuration report would crash
when hosts were in NKview.cfg, but no NK tags were in
bb-hosts (from Mandriva)
- SSL certificates with 4-digit expiration years would
crash the network tester (from Debian)
- Newer OpenLDAP versions have a different API, so
the LDAP test code would not build correctly (from
Debian)
- Old Big Brother clients report disk output with no
header line (from Debian)
- The bb-hosts syntax for HTTP testing via a proxy
could not support https target-URL's (from Debian)
- Certain SuSE versions would not be identified by
the Linux client as such (only affected OS name
displayed in the "info" status).
*) Support for sending custom graph data in a "trends"
data message (from
http://www.hswn.dk/hobbiton/2007/01/msg00236.html)
*) Split-NCV and TRACKMAX support for custom graphs (from
http://www.hobbitmon.com/hobbiton/2007/03/msg00368.htm).
*) Support for the "BBWin" client http://bbwin.sf.net/
in centralized (server-side) configuration mode.
Based on BBWin v. 0.12.
*) Support for the "hobbit-perl-client" add-on
http://hobbit-perl-client.sf.net/ .
Based on perl-http-client v1.15
*) Support for the "Devmon" SNMP data collector
http://devmon.sf.net/ based on Devmon 0.3.0.
A last-minute update for Devmon was missed in the RC1
source file, so Devmon users should grab the latest
hobbitd/rrd/do_devmon.c source from
http://hobbitmon.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/hobbitmon/branches/4.2.2/hobbitd/rrd/do_devmon.c?revision=6002
and copy to hobbitd/rrd/do_devmon.c . This will be included
in the final 4.2.2 release.
Please test this if you can, and report problems to the
mailing list. Since all of this code has been in use for
quite some time, I would not expect a lot of problems.
So the target date for the 4.2.2 release is Dec. 10.
Regards,
Henrik
