-1.4.10 or 1.5 ??
+1.4.12 or 1.5 ??
+ Added ./check_nt -v INSTANCES to count number of instances (Alessandro Ren)
+ check_tcp now returns UNKNOWN with invalid hostname
+ New check_icmp -s option to specify the source IP address
+ check_dns now sorts addresses for testing results for more than one returned IP (Matthias Urlichs)
+ Fix segfault in check_ntp_time and (deprecated) check_ntp. (Bug #1862300)
+
+1.4.11 13th December 2007
+ Fixed check_http regression in 1.4.10 where following redirects to
+ relative URLs on virtual hosts failed if both "-H" and "-I" were used
+ Merged two new checks that deprecates check_ntp: check_ntp_peer and check_ntp_time.
+ You should read the --help output so see which one is suitable for you. check_ntp_peer
+ implement stratum thresholds support (feature request #1703823).
+ check_ntp now returns UNKNOWN instead of WARNING if jitter is unavailable (jitter=-1.000000)
+ as long as the thresholds range include -1. If no offset threshold is specified
+ and the offset is unavailable, will return UNKNOWN as well.
+ NOTE: If jitter thresholds are specified as integers it will return CRITICAL if jitter
+ is "-1" as the default range starts at 0. See Examples in --help output.
+ Fixed broken usage2 in check_snmp and check_cluster
+ check_cluster now accepts all valid characters in its thresholds ("-", "@", "~")
+ Fixed check_disk reporting OK if disk usage grows over 100% (bug #1348746).
+ The problem happens to be in Gnulib but a workaround have been implemented in check_disk.c
+ Fixed check_load argument handling when not passing triplets (bug #1831890)
+ Fixed buffer overflow in check_snmp (CVE-2007-5623)
+ Tinderbox builds now runs tests in a verbose mode
+ Updated Nagios::Plugin to 0.22
+ VPATH problem fixed for compiling plugins-root
+
+1.4.10 28th September 2007
Fix check_http buffer overflow vulnerability when following HTTP redirects
check_http now explicitly asks HTTP/1.1 servers to close the connection
after completion of the response

A meaningful error message (eg "Stale NFS Handle") is printed if stat fails.

+ New check_disk option -L: Only check local filesystems, but call stat() on remote ones, too.
+ Thus accessibility of remote filesystems can be checked without any threshold comparison.
Check_disk's --help now prints some examples for the new features introduced in 1.4.8

+ New check_disk -i/-I option to ignore pathes/partitions based on regular expressions
+ New check_disk -A option to select all filesystems explicitly
+ WARNING: check_disk's -E option must now be passed before -p or -r/-R arguments
+ Passing -E after -p or -r results in UNKNOWN state, now
+ This is needed due to the new ignore feature
+ Fix check_disk bug when mixing case sensitive and case insensitive regex arguments
New check_dhcp -u/--unicast option for emulating a DHCP relay in order
to check DHCP servers on remote networks
New check_dhcp -m/--mac option which allows for specifying the MAC
address to use in the DHCP request
The check_dhcp -r and -s options now accept host names, too
Fix possible check_icmp bus errors on some (non-x86/AMD64) platforms

+ Fix check_smtp's handling of multiple-packet server responses
+ WARNING: Fix for negate which may break existing commands:
+ - stop evaluating command line options through shell twice
+ - enforce a full path for the command to run
+ The "negate" utility can now remap custom states
+ Check_radius now supports radiusclient-ng
+ The (undocumented) positional parameter parsing which check_radius used
+ instead of getopt(3) if 8 arguments were given is no longer available
+ Check_by_ssh now supports multiline output
+ IPv6 support can now be disabled using ./configure --without-ipv6
+ Fix check_ntp now honor ntp flags
1.4.9 4th June 2006
Inclusion of contrib/check_cluster2 as check_cluster with some improvements
