UPDATE



What's new?



Please refer to the CHANGES.PLAINTEXT file for
a list of changes. This release includes many
bug fixes and quite a few extensions but no major
changes. Many changes are behind the stage and
are rather cleaning up with some obsolete ideas
than adding any new functionality.

New features include:

    - web interface for alarms - acknowledging and
      temporarily suppressing alarms is supported
      now

    - housekeeping for history log files

    - bsadmin command for manually sending commands
      to Big Sister

    - some of the daemons/programs are now logging
      to syslog - so it is easier to find out what
      went wrong if something went wrong

    - some support for Win32 systems has been added
      (EventLog and Services monitor) and the whole
      package was tested on NT 4.0SP4

    - added support for FastCGI. This will hopefully
      speed up CGI scripts a little. Especially the
      bshistory CGI is still suboptimal (Roland Roberts
      contributed script not yet included)

Thanks a lot for all the feedback/suggestions/contributions
I got during the last few months!
