Version 0.2.6 released

Hi all!

Version 0.2.6 is out! Changes from previous release:

- Added possibility to change size of ICMP echo request packets sent by
server
- Added built-in syslog server
- Implemented retrieving of only last N records from event log
- Implemented "Select DCI" function for templates
- Implemented own MIB compiler, removing last dependency from Net-SNMP
library
- MIBs now transferred to client in compiled form, reducing network
traffic
  and making console startup faster
- Implemented correct translation of SNMPv1 trap id to SNMPv2 trap id
- Added advanced DCI collection scheduling
- Core agent:
        - Ported to AIX
        - Fixed bug in signal handling causing agent to crash on
shutdown
        - Implemented autoloading of platform subagent on UNIX and
NetWare
        - Fixed broken under NT4 Net.InterfaceList enum
- PING subagent:
        - Ported to NetWare and AIX
        - Added "packet size" argument to Icmp.Ping(*) parameter
        - Added "packet size" option to target configuration
        - Added DefaultPacketSize configuration parameter
- Port checker subagent ported to AIX
- Added possibility to build statically linked agents
- Event configuration improved
- New MIBs added: BGP4, PowerNet (APC), PRINTER,
  Synoptics (now part of Nortel Networks), UPS
- Windows console:
        - Improved handling of large number of objects
        - Status and configuration poll windows improved
- Database checker improved
- Fixed issues: #12, #46, #48, #49, #50, #51, #54

This version is planned to be an intermediate release before 0.2.7,
which will include log monitoring functionality.

IMPORTANT NOTES !!!

1. From this version, MIBs sent to console in compiled form. If your
server is on UNIX, don't forget to compile MIBs using MIB compiler
(nxmibc) after upgrade or fresh install. If you will add additional MIBs
later, you will have to recompile MIBs.

2. Communication protocol was changed, so old clients will not work with
new server.

3. Actions are now enabled on agents by default. To disable them, add
EnableActions = no to agent's configuration file.

Best regards,
Victor
