Version 2.1.0 (M-Sylvie)

This version brings some minor enhancements but, mainly, it brings stability in the beta version:

* Added option for showing the auth chain in clear, or reversely.

* Fixed bug #1: The severities of Zabbix triggers are now supported.

* Updated the preferences window for easing the setting of monitoring settings.

Version 2.1.0beta (M-Sylvie Beta)

Changes include, but are not limited to:

* Added support for Zabbix: Requires Zabbix API >= 1.3. Known Issues: the severities of triggers are not yet taken into account. All problems are simply reported. This will be fixed before the stable release (bug #1). 

Released the UI Module and the Daemon Module as seperate packages. The UI Module became 'RealOpInsight' while the Daemon Module, specific to Nagios, is now called 'Daemon Service for Nagios'.

* VERY IMPORTANT: To support both Zabbix and Nagios without additional configuration constraints for the administrators, the format of configuration files has been modified to detect automatically the target monitoring system at the loading time. For backward compatibility, the former format is still supported and detected as compatible with Nagios. But it's recommended to upgrade the format of your former configuration files: just open them from the Editor and resave them (File -> Save).

* Changed of the format of message exchanges between the Daemon Service for Nagios and the Operations Consoles for better performance and better performance and more flexibility. It's required to upgrade the Daemon Service towards the version 1.1.0.

Bug fix: Added more robustness in the communications to prevent situations of infinite waiting when the Daemon Service for Nagios does not respond.

* Bug fix: minor changes on the management of update interval.

* Bug fix: fixed the problem when the native check field appears empty when there is no Nagios status file loaded.

* Deprecated command: 'ngrt4n', now use 'ngrt4n-manager' instead.

* The Windows Installer has been tested on Windows 7 and Windows 8. Please remove any older version of NGRT4N before installing RealOpInsight.

Version 2.0

This release improves the previous version (1.0.1) and brings many valuable new features:

New architecture based on a distributed messaging system removing the requirement on X Forwarding.

* Advanced Event Processing: It's now possible to decrease or increase the criticity of incidents. E.g. an event reported as critical by a generic Nagios plugin may be propagated as a warning according to your monitoring needs.

* Improved Algorithms and GUI: The user interfaces have been restyled to improve the user experience. In addition, many internal algorithms have been rewritten to improve their performances.

* Windows Installer: A setup program is now provided to ease the installation of the UI Module on Windows platforms.

Version 1.0.1

* Added GPL License

* Update install script

Version 1.0 (1st release)

* Sits on the monitoring server and requires X Forwarding to be accessed from workstations.
