This Week in OpenNMS: Season 1.6, Episode 14: 'Till We're Blue in the Face^H^H^H^HPolo

It's time for This Week in OpenNMS. In the last week we got a bunch of
great Order of the Blue Polo testimonials, and made more progress on
getting 1.8 polished up.


Project Updates
---------------

- Stable: Current Release is 1.6.4

1.6.4 is the current stable release, released (no kidding!) April 1st.
It fixes a number of bugs, and adds a few features. For a full list, see
the bugzilla 1.6.3 and 1.6.4 milestones.  This is a recommended upgrade
for anyone on OpenNMS versions older than 1.6.4.

- Unstable: Current Release is 1.7.2

1.7.2 is the current unstable release, released alongside 1.6.4 on April
1st as well.  It fixes a whole raft of bugs since 1.7.0, and barring
still not handling newSuspect events, Provisiond is pretty solid.  A
1.7.x overview is available in the release notes on the site.

- Trunk: RANCID Updates

A few small changes were made to the RANCID API.

Also, I'd like to note that I've been talking about the RANCID
development for a while, spearheaded by Rocco, Guglielmo, and Antonio,
but somehow when I announced the first RANCID integration release last
week, I failed to mention Guglielmo. Guglielmo Incisa di Camerana also
did a ton of the hard work that went into the RANCID integration, so
thanks to you as well for making the release happen. :)

- Trunk: Internationalization Branch

The subject of internationalization came up again. We had a slightly
bit-rotten set of patches from Sachin Naik, but they didn't apply
cleanly to even prerelease 1.6.0. Jeff has taken a crack at resurrecting
some of that work in a branch. No guarantees it will happen in time for
1.8, but it's at least being looked at.

- Trunk: DAO/JDBC Cleanup

More cleanup has been going on excizing the JDBC code from the UI and
making proper calls through the DAO infrastructure (and Spring Security)
so we can do proper ACLs in the web UI.


Keep 'Em Coming -- The Order of the Blue Polo
---------------------------------------------

Response so far from folks interested in joining the Order of the Blue
Polo has been fantastic, and we've had word from more folks who are
hoping to join and just waiting on an OK from their respective companies.

Thanks to everyone who has submitted a testimonial, we're publishing
them on the wiki as we have a chance to go through them and set aside
polo orders. It's not too late to join the Order of the Blue Polo yourself.
