IPv6 support, and a completely rewritten 'xymonnet' network test module. This gives you a lot more information about the network tests, and lays the foundation for moving all of the network analysis logic out of xymonnet. So you can configure how network tests should be analysed via "analysis.cfg", much like you do with the client data. And all of the Xymon internal network code has been rewritten, so we can e.g. run all of the communications over an SSL encrypted connection.
It's currently stuck on an architectural issue with how graph-updates are handled. I am trying to decide if I should eliminate the current "analyze everything twice" tactic - right now, data from clients are analysed by xymond_client which generates a status update. The status-update is then re-analysed by xymond_rrd, picking out the data used to generate the graph-data updates. This is stupid, and it causes problems for the new network test code because status columns can now be called whatever you like.

Hi Henrik,
Since you mentioned graphing, I was curious if 5.0 was going to allow for multiple graphs for custom alerts that have more than 3 or 4 data points. In other words something similar to the way disks are graphed for custom tests?

Not in 5.0, there is enough on that plate already.
But graph handling is one of the sore spots in Xymon - so a later 5.x release might do something about that.
