Upstream changelog:
Changes for 4.3.15 - 4.3.17
===========================
No significant changes.
Changes for 4.3.14
==================
In previous Xymon versions, a client-only configuration (i.e. one
configured with "./configure --client") would place the client
files in a "client" subdirectory below the directory specified
during configuration. This is the same directory layout as a server
installation, where the server and client parts of Xymon are
in separate subdirectories.
In 4.3.14, the default has changed so a client-only installation
now installs in the directory given during the configure-step.
The "/client" has been eliminated, so if you are upgrading an
existing client you must either move the old client installation
one level up from the "client/" directory, or change the Makefile
generated by "configure --client" and add "/client" to the
XYMONTOPDIR setting.
The SNI support added in 4.3.13 causes problems with some older
webservers, whose SSL implementation cannot handshake correctly
when SNI is used. The failed handshake causes Xymon to report
the site as down. In 4.3.14, the default is changed so SNI is
disabled. A new "--sni" option was added to xymonnet to control the
default setting, and two new tags "sni" and "nosni" can be used in
hosts.cfg to control SNI for each host that is tested.
Changes for 4.3.13
==================
This is mostly a bugfix release. Apart from simple bugs (see
the Changes file), there are some enhancements:
Alerts sent via e-mail have <CR><NL> line-endings converted
to plain <NL>, since the carriage-return characters would
cause some mailers to send alerts as a (binary) attachment
to an empty mail message.
https-URL's can be forced to use TLS only, by using
"httpst://..." similar to how SSLv2 and SSLv3 can be chosen.
SSL connections (e.g. for https URL's) now use the TLS
"Server Name Indication" (SNI) if your OpenSSL library
supports it. This allows testing of systems that have
multiple SSL websites located on the same physical IP+port
(i.e. virtual name-based hosts).
Changes for 4.3.12
==================
NOTE: This release includes a bugfix for a security issue
in the xymond_history and xymond_rrd modules. A "drophost"
command sent to the xymond port (default: 1984) from an IP
listed in the --admin-senders access control list can be
used to delete files owned by the user running the xymond
daemon. This is allowed by default, so it is highly recommended
to install this update.
Changes for 4.3.2 - 4.3.11
==========================
See the Changes file for a list of significant changes.
These releases are mostly to fix bugs.
NOTE: Some configuration parameters have changed, so you must
regenerate the top-level Makefile by running the "configure"
script before compiling the new version.
The inode-check introduced in 4.3.8 and 4.3.10 requires
that you update both the Xymon server installation and the
Xymon client on the systems where you want to monitor how
many inodes are being used.

Upstream changelog:
Xymon release 4.3.10 - released on Aug 6 2012
=============================================
Main features in this release is the addition of inode-checks
on all major platforms, and a series of enhancements to the
build procedure.
Also, building Xymon on most common platforms is now explicitly
described in the "install" document.
* Fix build problems with "errno"
* Fix build problems with OpenSSL in non-default locations
* Fix build problems with certain LDAP configurations
* Fix build problems with RRDtool on FreeBSD / OpenBSD
* Fix problem with ifstat data from Fedora in graphs
* "inode" check on FreeBSD, OpenBSD, OSX, Solaris, HP/UX, AIX
in addition to existing support for Linux
* Document building and installing Xymon on common platforms
(Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, Solaris)
* Enhance xymoncfg so it can be used to import Xymon configuration
settings into shell-scripts.
Xymon release 4.3.9 - released on Jul 24 2012
=============================================
This release is mainly a bug-fix release.
* Fix crash when XYMSRV is undefined but XYMSERVERS is
* Fix error in calculating combo-status messages with
forward references
* Fix error in disable-until-TIME or disable-until-OK code
* Fix documentation of DURATION in alerts.cfg / xymond_alert so
it is consistenly listed as being in "minutes".
* Permit explicit use of ">" and ">=" in alerts.cfg
* Permit building without the RRDtool libraries, e.g. for
a network-tester build, but with trend-graphing disabled.
* Full compiler-warning cleanup
* Various configuration/build-script issues fixed.
Xymon release 4.3.8 - released on Jul 15 2012
=============================================
This release is mainly a bug-fix release.
Bugfixes
* Workaround for DNS timeout handling, now fixed at approximately 25
seconds.
* "hostinfo" command for xymond documented
* confreport only shows processes that are monitored
* analysis.cfg parsing of COLOR for UP rules was broken
* RRD handlers no longer crash after receiving 1 billion updates
* Using .netrc for authentication could crash xymonnet
* "directory" includes would report the wrong filename for missing
directories.
* useradm CGI would invoke htpassword twice
* "include" and "directory" now ignores trailing whitespace
* SSLv2 support disabled if SSL-library does not support it
* Minor bugfixes and cleanups of compiler warnings.
Enhancements
* Service status on info page now links to the detailed status page.
* Add RRDGRAPHOPTS setting to permit global user-specified RRD options,
e.g. for font to showgraph CGI
* Add check for the size of public keys used in SSL certificates
(enabled via --sslkeysize=N option for xymonnet)
* Optionally disable the display of SSL ciphers in the sslcert status
(the --no-cipherlist option for xymonnet)
* Improved build-scripts works on newer systems with libraries in
new and surprising places
* Reduce xymonnet memory usage and runtime for ping tests when there
are multiple hosts.cfg entries with the same IP-address.
* Add code for inode-monitoring on Linux. Does not currently work on
any other client platform.
* Added the ability to disable tests until a specific time, instead of
for some interval. Disabling a test also now computes the expire time
for the disable to happen at the next closest minute.
* Add Makefile.DragonFly
* Add xymonclient-dragonfly.sh
* Fix sha2.c #include <stdint.h>.
On last, nothing sets HAVE_STDINT_H and passing -DHAVE_STDINT_H through
cflags fails. Just switch it based on __FreeBSD__ and __DragonFly__.
There is a placeholder for dragonfly-meminfo. It's possible that
freebsd-meminfo.c can be used without modification, but it needs
verification before building it.
1) Make sure INSTALLLOCALDIR is define/passed down to the client directory
install target.
2) Install 'localclient.cfg' INSTALLETCDIR and add it as a config file.
Update PLIST.
Bump PKGREVISION.
