This Week in OpenNMS: Season 1.6, Episode 31: Getting Your Digits

It's time for This Week in OpenNMS. This week we worked on the iPhone
app, the SMS API, and other bugfixes.


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 1.7.6

1.7.6 is the current unstable release, tagged August 3rd.  Since 1.7.5,
there have been a ton of bugfixes, as well as updates to the RESTful
interfaces, inventory report updates, syslogd updates, collection
updates, new OpenManage and Cisco IP-SLA monitors, thresholding updates,
provisiond updates, map updates, and probably more stuff I'm missing.  A
1.7.x overview is available in the release notes on the site.

- Unstable: Ackd Updates

Dave spent a bunch of time writing docs and doing work on Ackd to finish
up the javamail acknowledgement support, among other things.

- Unstable: SMS Pinger/Request-Response API

Matt, Donald, Jeff, and I have spent more time getting the SMS stuff
working.  Matt's been doing more plumbing work on the SMS backend, and
Donald and I got a basic ping SMS monitor put together on Friday.
Jeff's been working on getting USSD support added to SMSlib.

- Unstable: Plugin Updates

Jason Aras did a little more work on his updated plugins in his branch.

- Unstable: iPhone Updates

I did a lot of work on the iPhone app this weekend.  I'm almost finished
converting everything to CoreData as the backing store.  Pulling from
the REST service is as fast, but feedback is better, and once you've
gotten outages/etc. from the OpenNMS instance, you will be able to view
anything you've clicked through offline.

- Unstable: ACL Updates

Massimiliano did a few more updates to the ACL branch.  I still need to
find some time to look it over.  ;)
