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=140...
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... 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.
