Release candidate for 0.3.7 out

A new version (release candidate) for the next minor release is out.

Nothing major in the application this version mainly installer work as well as some bugfixes. But and this is a big but it now features both an reference manual as well as a Nagios guide to get you started from Nagios. The material comes from the now up-dated wiki so it is nothing new but a nice touch I hope.

   -d Is the same thing but with debug enabled.
 + Added uninstall of old client (sort of broken but works)

Last minute pre-flight check for the up-coming 0.3.6 version

Not much news in this build which contains a bunch of bug-fixes as well as a compleate version of the new installer.

  • CheckFileAge? (was broken)
  • NSCA config option time_delay was off by 1000.
  • Eventlog monitoring with descriptions flag was crashing on x64.
  • CheckProc? works better on x64
  • New installer is "finalized"

The RC is called X this time as I did not want to rename all the others. If no one reports in bugs this will become 0.3.6 release in 24 hours or so.

Full change log:

2009-06-07 MickeM 
 * Fixed issue with CheckFileAge incorrectly working in recursive mode.
 * Finalized the installer

2009-05-22 MickeM 
 * Fixed time_delay option in NSCA config (now uses the correct base was 1000 times to large before)

2009-05-21 MickeM 
 * Fixed issue with eventlog parsing and 64 bit machines (descriptions option)
 * Fixed issue with "modern windows" and installing the service (should not have the correct privlaiges)

2009-05-17 MickeM 
 * Changed default buffer size for process enumeration (64K now instead of 1K should I hope work better on 64bit OS:es)

2009-05-10 MickeM 
 + Added write support for modules to installer
