This Week in OpenNMS: Season 1.6, Episode 47: Move Along, Nothing to See Here

It's time for This Week in OpenNMS.  In the last (half) week, we did
more bug fixing and specifying of new work.  But, since it's only been a
few work days since the last TWiO, there isn't too much to report. :)


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

- Stable: Current Release is 1.6.8

1.6.8 is the current stable release, tagged December 10th.  It adds a
few small features and fixes a few bugs, as well as adding a new
web-based "easy installer" UI.  For a full list, see the bugzilla 1.6.8
milestone.  This is a non-critical but recommended upgrade for anyone on
OpenNMS versions older than 1.6.8.

- Unstable: Current Release is 1.7.8

1.7.8 is the current unstable release, tagged December 8th.  Since
1.7.7, there have been quite a few bug fixes.  A 1.7.x overview is
available in the release notes on the site.

- Unstable: Bugzilla Triaging

Seth spent more time going through Bugzilla, fixing some of the
low-hanging fruit and getting everything categorized in preparation for
1.8.  If you know of a particular bug that is vexing you, please vote
for it in bugzilla.  We can't close everything for 1.8.0, but we can try
to get to as many of the top hits as possible before release.

- Unstable: Reporting

Jason and Jonathan are both working on a bit more cleanup in the
reporting engine, and we're also starting to see some nice sample
reports trickling in.

- Unstable: New Remote Monitoring UI

Matt and I spent some time fleshing out the specification for the new
GWT-based Remote Monitoring UI.  I think this is the first time ever
I've been excited about maps. ;)
