This Week in OpenNMS: Season 1.6, Episode 50: Down to the Wire

It's time for This Week in OpenNMS.  In the last week, we spent more
time fixing bugs, working on the remote monitor UI, reporting, and maps.
 1.8 will go into code slush this week!


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

- Stable: Current Release is 1.6.10

1.6.10 is the current stable release, tagged March 9th.  It adds a few
small features and fixes a few bugs.  For a full list, see the bugzilla
1.6.10 milestone. This is a non-critical but recommended upgrade for
anyone on OpenNMS versions older than 1.6.10.

- Unstable: Current Release is 1.7.10

1.7.10 is the current unstable release, tagged March 9th.  Since 1.7.9,
there have been quite a few bug fixes, and a few new features, including
allowing the remote monitor to phone home over HTTP, pushing data
collection to a TCP daemon, and integration of the Jasper reporting
engine.  A full list of changes is in the release notes.

- Unstable: More Cleanup

Seth spent more time cleaning up code for 1.8. I f 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: New Remote Monitoring UI

Donald and I did a bunch more work on the new GWT-based Remote
Monitoring UI.  We did a bunch of work looking into performance, as well
as implementing MapQuest as a map renderer, and geocoding backends using
MapQuest, Google Maps, and OpenStreetMaps' Nominatim server.

- Unstable: Reporting Updates

Jonathan and Jay have both been working more on integrating the
reporting work that's been going on into a cohesive whole, including
starting on a simple UI for working on reports.

- Unstable: Maps

Antonio has been working on a lot of improvements to the maps.
