[Download RAW message or body]

Beta 1 of the 0.0.7 release is now available for download from:

http://netsaint.sourceforge.net/download

Please read the docs before trying to use the new version.  
Especially important are the FAQs and the "What's New" sections.


Some of the changes/additions since 0.0.6 include:

- Tactical overview CGI 
- Availability reporting CGI 
- WAP interface CGI 
- Embedded Perl interpreter 
- Forced service checks 
- Acknowledgements without notifications 
- Ability to schedule downtime for hosts and services 
- Flap detection 
- Custom intervals for notification escalations 
- Auto-save of retention data 
- Extended service information 
- Service notification and execution dependencies 
- Aggregated status data updates 
- External command file now implemented as a FIFO 
- Statusmap and statuswrl CGI rewritten to use user-supplied 
coordinates for drawing 
- Database support for status, comment, extended, and retention 
data 
- Lots of other little goodies.. 


I have no plans to add any other features into 0.0.7.  The only 
changes that will be made here on out are doc updates and bug 
fixes.  Any changes or additions will be rolled into 0.0.8.  Some 
people have asked when alpha/beta versions of 0.0.8 might be 
available.  I really don't have any timeline - mabye something will 
be available in May, but I'm not making any promises.  Until it does 
become available, there should be enough in 0.0.7 to chew on for a 
while.
