+
+1.4.12 27th May 2008
+ Added ./check_nt -v INSTANCES to count number of instances (Alessandro Ren)
+ 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)
+ check_disk should now work with large file systems (2TB+) on all archs that supports it

+ Fix bugs and flaws in best offset server selection of check_ntp_time and (deprecated) check_ntp

+ Sync to latest Gnulib (includes new floorf function)
+ check_pgsql now successfully builds with postgres lib v8.3 (Bug #1878972)
+ check_procs now accepts --ereg-argument-array for a regular expression match to the argument array
+ Reverted back to using pst3 for Solaris systems. Fixed issues re: -m64 needed to compile on 64bit systems
+ If applicable, Gettext linked dynamically instead of statically
+ check_dig can now pass arguments to dig by using -A/--dig-arguments (#1874041/#1889453)
+ check_ntp and check_ntp_peer now show proper jitter/stratum thresholds longopts in --help
+ check_dns now allow to repeat -a to match multiple possibly returned address (common with load balancers)
+ check_mysql and check_radius now try clearing password in processlist just like check_mysql_query
+ check_mysql and check_mysql_query now support sockets explicitely (-s, --socket)
+ negate now has the ability to replace the status text as well (-s, --substitute)
+ Added performance data to check_ping (Christian Schneemann)
+ Added support for --extra-opts in all C plugins (disabled by default, see configure --help)
+ Fixed passive option in check_by_ssh
+ On non-skipped stderr, check_by_ssh now returns UNKNOWN or worse (result from command) instead of always UNKNOWN.
+ Fix linking against OpenSSL where libdl is required
+
+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 (CVE-2007-5198)
+ 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
SSL plugins work with gnutls as well as OpenSSL
check_mysql_query added to run arbitrary SQL commands, with threshold checking
libtool now required for development systems
- Notice: check_udp (compiled from check_udp.c) will be deprecated in the next release.
