One more Hurray for Henrik! Although the year must have been hard for him, medical reasons etc, he managed to produce a whole new release of Hobbit, sorry Xymon (Guess it will take a while for me to get used to ;-) Also a "Thank you" for everyone on the mailing list, for their support by answering questions, supplying patches, suggestions or ideas.
This is very good for the community, to see that a product like Xymon is alive!
The new release, the new features (f.e. notifications report), including incorporated patches and/or fixes is absolutely worth the upgrade!
Merry x-mas to you all,
Peter

Is it safe to compile it and replace the=20 old Hobbit binaries? or is there any cleanest way to upgrade=20 my current=20 Hobbit server? =20 Should work just fine, as long as you configure it the same as you did with the original 4.2.0 sources - same userid,=20 directories etc.
Could I compile the binaries and simply copy them directly in to the correct bin/ directories so as to use my current 4.2.0 configs or are there major changes to the config files?
The only config file changes are additions to the hobbitgraph.cfg file (new definitions from BBWin, Devmon and hobbit-perl-client), and the corresponding new items listed in the TEST2RRD and GRAPHS setting in hobbitserver.cfg.
So compiling and then copying your binaries over - or just doing a "make install", this will not overwrite your existing config - should work fine.
