This Week in OpenNMS: Season 1.6, Episode 42: Keepin' On Keepin' On

It's time for This Week in OpenNMS.  This week was a bit quiet.  We did
more bug fixing, cleaned up some build system issues, did more work on
the map code, and merged a few other handy features.


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

- Stable: Current Release is 1.6.7

1.6.7 is the current stable release, tagged October 5th.  It adds a few
small features.  For a full list, see the bugzilla 1.6.7 milestone.
This is a non-critical but recommended upgrade for anyone on OpenNMS
versions older than 1.6.7.

- Unstable: Current Release is 1.7.7

1.7.7 is the current unstable release, tagged October 5th.  Since 1.7.6,
there have been a ton of bugfixes, as well as a number of new features,
including the DNS provisioning adapter, mobile sequence monitor, and the
map adapter.  A 1.7.x overview is available in the release notes on the
site.

- Unstable: Map and Link Updates

Antonio and Donald have been doing more work on the map code, fixing
bugs and adding a bit more polish.

- Unstable: Transitioning to a DVCS

I've solved most of my issues on doing some interesting rewriting of
history to finish up the Git merge, and will hopefully be wrapping up
the project soon. Next up: documentation. =)

- Unstable: New Plugins

I finally had a chance to merge a couple of spiffy new plugins that
Jason Aras added and that people have been hoping for for a while.

  * JDBC query monitor: This differs from our existing JDBC polling
    code in that you can run arbitrary SQL and perform some form of
    operation on it.

  * BSF monitor: This allows you to create your own monitors using
    any language that the Bean Scripting Framework supports.

As always, if there's anything you'd like me to talk about in a future
TWiO, or you just have a comment, criticism, or extra monitors you'd
like to share, don't hesitiate to say hi.
