-New in 1.2.9:
-* Added support for multiplatform builds
+This file documents the major additions and syntax changes between releases.
+
+1.4.11 or 1.5 ??
+ Fix check_http regression in 1.4.10 where following redirects to
+ relative URLs on virtual hosts failed if both "-H" and "-I" were used
+ check_ntp now return UNKNOWN instead of WARNING if jitter is unavailable (jitter=-1.000000)
+ as long as the thresholds range inculde -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.
+ Fix broken usage2 in check_snmp and check_cluster
+ check_cluster now accept all valid characters in its thresholds ("-", "@", "~")
+ Merge 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).
+ Fix 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
+ Fix check_load argument handling when not passing triplets (bug #1831890)
+
+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
+ 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
+ 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
+ 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
+ for collective thresholds
+ Better configure test for mysqlclient availability
+ Various check_ntp fixes

+ check_procs uses /usr/ucb/ps if available - fixes pst3 problems on Solaris
+ Fixed MKINSTALLDIRS problem in po/
+ ./configure now detects if possible to compile check_mysql
+ Fixed broken HELO in check_smtp
+ check_icmp now allows to set a minimum number of hosts required for successs (-m)

+ check_ping times out 1 second quicker if host is unreachable
+ Root plugins installed with world executable
+ check_sybase from contrib now maintained in NagiosExchange

+ Fixed check_disk inode threshold checks, regressed at r1.4.4.
+ Fixed crit/warn for check_disk perf data
+ Fixed buffer overflow in check_procs
+ Fixed error handling for UNIX sockets in netutils.c
+ New -q and -o options for check_by_ssh which are handed over to ssh(1) as is

+ Major bug fixes to check_disk where values were incorrectly calculated and alerted on.
+ check_udp2 removed. check_udp is now linked to check_tcp.c
+ check_mailq now errors if the sub-program run returns non-zero return code. This would appear
+ as if mailqs were okay when the nagios user could not query the mail-queues

+
+1.4.3
+ Setuid plugins (check_dhcp, check_icmp) separated into plugins-root/. Run make install as root to install
+ SSL plugins work with gnutls as well as OpenSSL
