Recent releases


Changes: ACK-cookie handling was broken in 4.2.2 and could crash hobbitd. A fix was made for hobbitd/hobbitd_worker communication going out of sync. The NCV module now works with negative numbers. Several bugfixes were made in the DNS lookup code. C-ARES 1.6.0 is now used. The time-out code was changed to use clock_gettime() with CLOCK_MONOTONIC. More TCP tests are run in parallel. The "hostlist" Web utility was added for spreadsheet reporting of the hosts in Hobbit.


Changes: The Hobbit project is being renamed to Xymon (for legal reasons). All patches from the "all-in-one" patch have been applied, as well as patches from Debian, Mandriva, and elsewhere. Support for sending custom graph data in a "trends" data message was added. Split-NCV and TRACKMAX support for custom graphs was added. Support was added for the external clients: BBWin, hobbit-perl-client, and Devmon.


Changes: This version includes a full server-side implementation, so it can act as a stand-alone network monitor.
