This Week in OpenNMS: Season 1.8, Episode 1: 1.8.0 Released, iPhone App Coming!

It's time for This Week in OpenNMS <http://www.opennms.org>. In the last
2 weeks, we released 1.8.0, started finalizing the iPhone/iPad app, and
did some more bugfixing.


  Project Updates

    * *Stable: Current Release is 1.8.0*
      1.8.0 is the current stable release, tagged June 7th. The first
      major stable release in the 1.8 series, it adds a whole slew of
      new features compared to 1.6. For a high-level overview, see the
      "New and Noteworthy" page on the OpenNMS wiki
      <http://www.opennms.org/wiki/New_and_noteworthy#New_in_OpenNMS_1.8>.
      While we consider this release to be stable, a ton has changed. It
      is recommended that you back up your database, and test an upgrade
      on non-production hardware before moving to 1.8 in production.
    * *Unstable: Current Release is ...?*
      We have not yet started developing major new features for the 1.9
      series yet.
    * *1.8: SVG Map Updates*
      Antonio did more cleanup and tweaking of the SVG maps, including
      some refactoring, improved multilink support, and other bugfixes.
    * *1.8: Microblog Notifications*
      Jeff wrapped up merging support for microblog notifications
      <http://www.opennms.org/wiki/Microblog_Notifications>, which will
      allow you to post notifications to Twitter
      <http://twitter.com/>, Identi.ca <http://identi.ca/>, and similar
      services.
    * *1.8: Provisiond Updates*
      Matt and Donald did some more work cleaning up a few remaining
      open bugs in Provisiond.

  OpenNMS 1.8 Released!

As mentioned above, OpenNMS 1.8.0 has been released! If you plan on
upgrading, it is recommended that you back up your database (pg_dump
-Fc!) and configuration files before doing so. We are in the process of
writing a more formal upgrade document with notes on backing up and
managing config file changes. For a full list of major features, see
the New in OpenNMS 1.8

on the wiki.


  OpenNMS iPhone/iPad App Update

I spent the last week at Apple's World Wide Developer Conference
<http://developer.apple.com/wwdc/>, bugging engineers in the labs and
soaking up new iOS features. I had a lot of time to finally go over the
OpenNMS iPhone app codebase and really whip it into shape. It now
supports both iPhone and iPad, fully supports rotation (switching
between landscape and portrait mode), and has an interface for adding a
device to discovery.
I've put a ton of new screenshots up on the wiki page
<http://www.opennms.org/wiki/IPhone_Client> for it, if you want to see
what it's going to look like, and if you have an iPhone developer
account, I've put up some pointers on checking out and installing it
yourself.

I've got a few bugs to wrap up in the next day or two, and then we'll be
ready to start beta testing. The goal is to have it to the app store in
the next few weeks.
