* fixed undef data problem with forks
* add --icondir option to indexmaker
* faild rrdtune should not kill mrtg complaining is enough.
* fixed manpages first lines to include mrtg as well
* It's community not comunity.
* 16-Bit SNMP Session ID support for cfgmaker and SNMP_Session
* renamed all doc pages to mrtg-* except the manpages for cfgmaker and
indexmaker
* added MaxAge option setting which will prevent mrtg from touching old
logfiles, potentially caused by setting the clock to a wrong date.
* fixed a number of && vs and and || vs or problems in the mrtg script and
library
Avoid negative request ids (default_avoid_negative_request_ids=1) as
this might cause problems with some devices. Solution provided by
Tobias Oetiker in a private mail.
* with thresholds ... have two decimals in % mode
* give threshdesc and value as ar 4 and 5 of called threshprog
* propperly ignore signal 127 on UNIX
* make cfgmaker foundry aware
* ds3 (30) and sonet (39) are wan interface types too
added them to the $if_is_wan group in cfgmaker
* don't give up too quickly if a confcache setup entry does not match ...
* make rateup.c (64bit) work on macos x
* debug 64bit rateup ...
* drop special MacOS X includes they are harmful on 10.2. Use bsd approach
* use long long in log files to enable logging of FAST links
long long = 64 bit integers
* make cfgmaker support ifHighSpeed propperly and teach it about Juniper
* make output of cfgmaker such that indexmaker will sort propperly
* die gracefully when LANG is set to UTF-8 and give advice (RedHat 8)
* updated squid monitoring example
* Fixed indexmaker which got truncated during the last release process
* cosmetic tweaks for layout
* Use Snmp Session 0.93 with option avoid_negative_request_ids enabled
* Supress Posix Locales in the locale module ... people who have LANG
set to UTF-8 report very strange errors otherwhise.
* skip all queries to a host for one round when 1 query has returned undef.
* skip all trailing space in keys when matching interface by Name,
Description, Anything
* remove <br> before <hr> near pagetop
* make Includes search in directory of main config files as well as in
current directory
* addhead option for indexmaker
* fix for uptime for squid and other non standard devices
* indexmaker: improve handling of urls given with --rrdviewer
* improved chinese translation
all dependencies on packages depending on "png" which contain shared
libraries, all for the (imminent) update to the "png" package.

Notable changes in reverse order (newest on top):
* mrtg_lib had broken scanning for Ip tables in populateconfcache
this caused reference by IP to break
* new option for mrtg --logging replaces $main::debugfile from 2.9.13.
It can be set to a file which will take all mrtg output. On Win32 it can
also be set to 'eventlog' which will make all mrtg output go to the
eventlog.
* snmpv2 regexp did not match in cfgmaker
* fix for indexmakers extension feature
* improved mrtg logfile format description
* require perl 5.005 for mrtg_lib
* populateconfcache steps across non existing tables gracefully
* in mrtg, handle bigint more carefully and remove excess + from results
as some perls seem to crash on them ...
* check if gd was linked with jpeg and even freetype ...
* if $main::debugfile is set to a writeable filename, all output form mrtg
will go there (Firedeamon Suggenstion)
* SNMP_Session 0.86 added ... lenient_source_port_matching replaces the ad hoc
only_ip_address_matching from mrtg 2.9.11 ... AS/400 folks beware
* added --section=portname to indexmaker
* try to fix IsCounterBroken test in cfgmaker ... just cant find any broken
coutners to test this :-(
* fix for broken --dns-domain in cfgmaker
* fix for broken RouterUptime[] configurable
* fix for broken snmp with returns negative numbers for counters ...
* integrated my SNMP_utils changes into the real thing.
* make sure cfgmaker puts now raw < or > into the PageTop tag
* properly integrated ytics support in rateup
* properly deal with target math resulting in non integer data even when
logging to rateup which can not deal with floats.
* cleanup of rateup.c and some new options -b -a -o -i
* new options for mrtg noborder, noarrow, noi, noo, nobanner and nolegend
check reference.pod for docs.
* generator meta tag to html pages
* add 'only_ip_address_matching' feature to SNMP_Session. We are
more libaral when accepting snmp responses now.
* be more tolerant with external scripts input
* added feature to SNMP_utils: If first snmp var name is a HASH pointer,
the hash contents is used to set snmp options on the connection
* handle descriptions with & in cfgmaker
* added SnmpOptions: command to mrtg.cfg lanuage ... It allows
to set Snmp Options as available in SNMP_Session. Check the reference.txt file.
* test for availability of ifHCInOctets when running cfgmaker for v2 targets
* fixed indexmake image path for situations with Directories
* added option --prefix to indexmaker for people keeping thier index
somewhere else than default.
* honor background option in cfg file for indexmaker pages
* fixed warning in indexmaker (Use of uninitialized value in concatenation <.>
at indexmaker line 174)
* when the integer option was specified, there was still a .x printed in the summary area ...
* mrtg will now timestamp any warning and error message it emits
* fixed threshold processing ... IT REALY WORKS NOW! ...
**** Incompatible CHANGE ****************
ThreshProgOK now gets the same
commandline arguments as the normal ThreshProg ...
**** Incompatible CHANGE ****************
* configurable confcache (.ok) file location
* add <meta http-equiv="Cache-Control" content="no-cache">
to html files as this seems to be more understandable than "Pragma" content="no-cache"
Convert most MESSAGE files to new syntax (${VARIABLE} gets replaced,
not @VARIABLE@, nor @@VARIABLE@@).
By default, substitutions are done for LOCALBASE, PKGNAME, PREFIX,
X11BASE, X11PREFIX; additional patterns can be added via MESSAGE_SUBST.
Clean up some packages while I'm there; add RCS tags to most MESSAGEs.
Remove some uninteresting MESSAGEs.
(Todd Vierling doesn't use mrtg any more :)
Changes from 2.8.12:
MRTG 2.9 is the biggest change in MRTG since the release of MRTG 2.0.
So let's hear the news first:
* The rrdtool integration allows for massively increased logging
performance.
* Routers which change their interface numbers are no problem any more.
MRTG can now reliably address interfaces by IP, MAC, Description,
Name and Type. The cfgmaker tool has been rewritten from scratch and
allows to generate configurations with any of the above mentioned
interface addressing methods.
* Indexmaker has be rewritten from scratch, it is now much more
flexible and fully documented.
* All the MRTG documentation has been reviewed and ported to perls
"Plain Old Documentation (POD)" format. This allows to provide all
documentation in text, HTML and man format. It is now all available
on the MRTG web-site.
* Config file parsing has been optimized. This makes reading
configuration files much faster. Especially large configuration files
are faster by factors
* Under UNIX, mrtg can fork into several instances while querying
routers. This improves data acquisition performance dramatically,
especially with slow networks.
* Graphs and webpages can be generated on the fly is mrtg is used with
rrdtool logging. Several tools in the mrtg contrib section are
available for this purpose.
* And there is more: MRTG has been translated into 29 languages, OS
detection has been automated, did I mention performance, many of the
contributed tools have been dated and a slew of new ones has been
added, The config file reading code is now available in a documented
library which simplifies the creation of other tools which need
access to the mrtg cfg file.
* In total, over 200 individual changes are listed in the change log
since the release of MRTG 2.9.2.
ones to do, and each compiled and installed/de-installed apparently
correctly.
As a side effect of the dynamic PLIST, we no longer need to have separate
-static and -shared PLISTs. It's now easier than ever to make a perl5
package for NetBSD :)
