The current changelog is the best way to stay current on what the differences are...

The basic differences (aside from performance improvements and more parallelization) are in additional network tests (SSL and SOAP stuff) and more flexible display options (grouping and paging) AFAIK.

It seems to me that this is the usual question when ever any software
changes versions -- is the pain of the upgrade offset by the
"improvements"
in the in new release?  Everyone has to perform their own analysis.

The obvious reason to upgrade is to "stay current" -- most "bug fix"
activity is based on current releases, and new features are also based
on
current releases.  I don't think there are enough Xymon developers to
maintain several version families over the long haul.

But -- no one is going to make you upgrade.  If you are satisfied with
your
current release -- stick with it and spend your time on other things!
The
release I use is pretty old, too -- testing the "latest" release is
something I plan to do "when I get around to it"...

This is my question too... I've changed some code in 4.2.0 and to me is
very stable.

best regards,

Hi,
I have running a stable Hobbit 4.2 Server on a CentOS 4.8.
I also use Devmon and several other plugins to monitor our Server,
Switches, Modem etc.

Can anyone tell me any points, why it could be interesting for me to
build
up a new Xymon server?
I mean, are there any interesting, new features in Xymon, that an
upgrade
make sense?
