Nagios 2.0b4 Available

Nagios 2.0b4 is now available for download from 
http://www.nagios.org/download

There were several bug fixes made since beta 3, so please upgrade if 
you're using an earlier beta.  Depending on how many bugs are found 
in this release, the next release may not be a beta - it may be a 
release candidate.  We'll see - there is still some documentation 
that needs to be cleaned up.


The changes from 2.0b3 include:

* Memory leak fixes
* Fixed log message error at start of flapping
* Fixed segfault with invalid servicegroups in service definitions
* Non-existent problems can no longer be acknowledged
* Privileges will now only attempted be dropped if started as root 
user
* Embedded Perl fixes (to reduce memory leaks)
* Sample CGI config file fixes
* Added $HOSTCHECKTYPE$ and $SERVICECHECKTYPE$ macros
* Fixed bugs in $LASTHOSTCHECK$ macro (and corresponding on-demand 
macro)
* Fixed bugs in status data routines
* Fixed bug with NULL hostgroup and servicegroup membership
* Fixed bug with config directory recursion being broken
* Fixed bug with processing directives in non-registered object 
definitions
* Minor change to event broker API to prevent segfaults from unloaded 
modules
* Updated sample helloworld NEB module to show how to register 
callback routines


Anyone who has started to write event broker modules (I applaud you, 
as there is no documentation yet) should note that I made a minor, 
but important change to the way callbacks have to be registered.  
Take a look at the sample helloworld NEB module in the module/ 
subdirectory of the distribution to see how callbacks should be made 
(pay attention to passing the module's handle to the registration 
function).
