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
1.4.9 4th June 2006
Inclusion of contrib/check_cluster2 as check_cluster with some improvements
