o The code is now modularised. The distribution contains 'Mirmon.pm',
an OO interface for mirmon objects. Program 'mirmon' still contains
all the code ; it is split into 'Mirmon.pm' and 'mirmon.pl'.
o The mirror list can now have rsync urls.
o The algorithm to balance the probe load over the hourly mirmon runs

Many software projects are mirrored worldwide. The mirror sites are
required to update the mirror archive regularly (daily, weekly) from
a root server.
Mirmon helps administrators in keeping an eye on the mirror sites. In
a concise graphic format, mirmon shows each site's status history of
the last two weeks. It is easy to spot stale or dead mirrors.
