This Week in OpenNMS: Season 1.6, Episode 20: Now with 14% More Tardiness!

It's time for This Week in OpenNMS.  Please excuse the Tuesday release,
but Monday was a holiday in the US.  Even that harsh taskmaster Tarus
allows OpenNMS.com employees a brief day of rest before pushing our
noses back into the grindstone. <grin>  This week we continued work on
finishing up Provisiond, as well as some other feature work slated for 1.8.


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

- Stable: Current Release is 1.6.5

1.6.5 is the current stable release, released May 16th.  It fixes a
number of bugs, and adds a few features.  For a full list, see the
bugzilla 1.6.5 milestone.  This is a non-critical but recommended
upgrade for anyone on OpenNMS versions older than 1.6.5.

- Unstable: Current Release is 1.7.3

1.7.3 is the current unstable release, released May 3rd.  It fixes a
number of 1.7.2 bugs, and is the first public release including the new
ACL code.  A 1.7.x overview is available in the release notes on the site.

- Unstable: Database Schema Management

The new LiquiBase stuff is working, and now I'm going to be integrating
it into our current installer this week.

- Unstable: RANCID Updates

Guglielmo has RANCID HTML and XML reports working in trunk.

- Unstable: Thresholding Rework

Alejandro has merged his in-line thresholding and latency fixes into
trunk.  The changes should be available in the latest 1.7.4 nightly
snapshots.

- Unstable: Provisiond Updates

Donald has been continuing work on bringing the detectors available in
provisiond in-line with the existing Capsd plugins, so that everything
Capsd can detect, Provisiond can detect.  Matt has been doing some
refactoring and scoping out what needs to be done to support discovered
(non-foreign-source'd) nodes in Provisiond.

- Unstable: Alarm, Event and Notification Acknowledgement Fixed

1.7.3 shipped with a rather annoying bug in acknowledging alarms,
events, and notifications in various places in the web UI.  These have
been fixed in trunk.

- Unstable: ACL UI Work

Massimiliano Dessì continued his work on the ACL/Custom View UI webapp.
 Hopefully this will be finished up before 1.8 goes final, but if not,
it will probably be included in a later 1.8.x release.


SourceForge Community Choice Awards
-----------------------------------

Last week, SourceForge opened nominations for the 2009 Community Choice
Awards.  These annual awards provide a chance for the larger open source
community to recognize the projects that they get the most out of.  The
OpenNMS project has made a strong showing in past years in the "Best
Project for the Enterprise" category: a crowded field to be sure, but we
think the most appropriate for a product that spans so many of the other
categories.

If you use and love OpenNMS, you can help by nominating the project
yourself -- just click below, then select "Best Project for the
Enterprise" from the drop-down list.  Thanks in advance!
