Hi all!

We finally published NetXMS version 4.0. There are lot of new features, changes and improvements, some are visible, some are under the hood. Unfortunately we didn't finish planned changes to UI, so new UI is available as preview alongside old one, and we plan to finalize it during following patch releases.

There are few changes that may cause compatibility issues when migrating from 3.x:

1. Incompatible attributes in NXSL class "DCI": "instance" now refers to instance value (as in {instance} macro), not instance name as before. Instance name can be accessed via attribute "instanceName".
2. Operators print and println in NXSL are now functions, so arguments should be enclosed in brackets as usual for function call.

Below is full change log:

- Two-factor authentication for users
- SMTP implemented as a notification channel and e-mail actions replaced by notification actions
- Added 'DefaultNotificationChannel.SMTP.Html' and 'DefaultNotificationChannel.SMTP.Text' server configuration parametes for default SMTP channel names used by internal functions
- Removed lock for user management view
