Xymon 4.3.11 released

Hi Matt,

absolutely correct - and an embarassingly silly bug. This patch should 
cure it - I'll have to do a 4.3.12 release for this, so you may want to 
wait for that.

Thanks for reporting it.

Regards,
Henrik

Hi Matt,

if you could provide me with a trace of where it dumps core, then I
would very much like to track it down.

You need the 'gdb' tool to get the stacktrace, see

Thanks,
Henrik

Hi,

    Not sure where I should post this, but I upgraded to 4.3.11 today
on Solaris 10 sparc and everything works great except for xymongen
which coredumps.  I ended up using the 4.3.10 binary for xymongen
to get everything working again.

Thanks,
Matt

Hi,

I have just released version 4.3.11 of Xymon. This release fixes a
critical bug, which has caused crashes and other unwanted behaviour of
the xymond daemon.

Upgrading your Xymon server is recommended.


Full list of changes:

* Fix wrong file permissions when installing
* Linux client: Fix handling of root filesystem when mounted on
     "/dev/root"
* trends webpage: Fix case where hostname disappears after zoom.
* FreeBSD client: Memory patch for FreeBSD 8.0+
* xymond_alert: Fix problem with UNMATCHED rules triggering when
     there are actual recipients, but their alerts are suppressed due
     to a REPEAT setting not having expired.
* xymond_rrd: Dont crash if called with an empty status/data message
* xymond_channel: Report cause when channel-child exits/crashes
* xymongen: Geneate an overview page with only reds (like non-green)
* xymongen: Optionally define env. variable BOARDFILTER to select
     hosts/tests included in the generated pages
* links: Add pdf, docx and odt as known document formats
* Fix potential crashes after an alert cookie expired
* Fix potential crash after deleting/renaming a host
* Speedup loading of the hosts.cfg file, noticeable with very
     large hosts.cfg files (100.000+ hosts)


Currently only the source archive is available. Binary packages will
show up in a couple of days.

Henrik
