Upcoming release 0.2.6

Hi all!

For now, changes already made from 0.2.5 are:

- 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
- Core agent:
        - Ported to AIX
        - Fixed bug in signal handling causing agent to crash on
shutdown
- 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
- Fixed issues: #12, #46, #48, #49, #50, #51, #54

The only thing planned to implement in 0.2.6 but not done yet is log
monitoring. I estimate that we need at least one week (or may be more)
to implement this. So the question - if somebody needs listed
features/changes, we can release 0.2.6 now, and release version 0.2.7 in
a week or two, which will add log monitoring functionality, or delay
0.2.6 for the same week or two. What is preferred?

Best regards,
Victor
