Hello all!
4.3.28 RC1 has been released and should now be available on the SourceForge mirrors. You can download it at https://sourceforge.net/projects/xymon/files/Xymon/4.3.28-rc1/
Notable bug fixes are involve 'summary' message parsing and some performance and logic problems within xymond_alert that could cause increased load. Additionally, version-specific TLS testing is now available for HTTPS checks.
The bundled version of c-ares has been increased to 1.12.0, however it is still recommended that system libraries be used when available (for ease of maintenance).
If there were any fixes that I accidentally missed -- or if you notice any issues with this RC -- please reply back. (I will be building additional RPMS for testing later on tonight.)
If there are no major outstanding issues, a release version will follow this weekend or (likely) right after the 1st of the month.
Regards,
-jc

Thanks!
I'm currently working on integrating this version into the official Debian package (not sure if I'll also upload this RC version, but it's at least for testing it with local deployments).
There's one thing I noticed in Xymon's C code (indentation adjusted):
lib/sendmsg.c: sendresult_t sendmessage(char *msg, char *recipient, int timeout, sendreturn_t *response) lib/sendmsg.h: extern sendresult_t sendmessage(char *msg, char *recipient, int timeout, sendreturn_t *reponse); ^^^
Notice the difference at the end. It probably doesn't have an actual effect on the program, but I think that typo should be fixed anyways.
This and all other typos Debian's lintian tool or myself found so far (mostly in documentation and output strings in C code, occassionally also typos in code comments) are available in https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/collab-maint/xymon.git/tree/debian/patches/7... (appliable patch at https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/collab-maint/xymon.git/plain/debian/patches/...)
And then there's also a patch for syntax errors in man pages at https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/collab-maint/xymon.git/tree/debian/patches/7... respectively https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/collab-maint/xymon.git/plain/debian/patches/...
You might want to also have a look at these patches we apply in Debian:
- https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/collab-maint/xymon.git/tree/debian/patches/0... (already posted in the past)
- https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/collab-maint/xymon.git/tree/debian/patches/1...
- https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/collab-maint/xymon.git/tree/debian/patches/2... (already posted in the past)
- https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/collab-maint/xymon.git/tree/debian/patches/3... (already posted in the past)
- https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/collab-maint/xymon.git/tree/debian/patches/6... (already posted in the past)
- https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/collab-maint/xymon.git/tree/debian/patches/8... (only recently addeed)
A feature which has been requested in Debian is added by https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/collab-maint/xymon.git/tree/debian/patches/2... so you might want to have a look at it, too, maybe only for 4.4, though.
Haven't yet tested the built packages, but will do so soon. (And likely send another mail about the results.)

Thanks! I actually have a patch coming through momentarily for fixing a FTBFS on older openssl's (<1.0.1) and some warnings on F25, so I'll probably be doing a fuller RC2 than expected. Many of these seem simple enough to bring in as well.
