This file documents the major additions and syntax changes between releases.
+1.4.10 or 1.5 ??
+ 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
+ Check_ldaps' guessing which secure method to use (starttls vs. ssl on connect)
+ is now deprecated. See --help for further information.
+ Check_disk now calls stat() on all filesystems to check. (Old: only the ones selected using -p)
+ 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
+ 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
+ New/improved -E/--skip-stderr and -S/--skip-stdout options for check_by_ssh
+ check_snmp now supports Counter64
+ Fix compilation of check_ldap, check_radius and check_pgsql
+ check_load can optionally divide by number of cpus
+ Fix check_time returning wrong OK when time is before the epoch on some arch
+ Make check_http output more consistent
+ Fix possible check_http segfaults when following HTTP redirects
+ check_snmp don't warn anymore if something is printed on stderr
+ Fix check_tcp segfault when multiple expect strings are given
+ New option for check_tcp: -A/--all to test if all given expect strings match
+
1.4.8 11th April 2007
Respects --without-world-permissions for setuid plugins
check_disk extra options for regex matching of filesystems and grouping of filesystems
