This Week in OpenNMS: Season 1.8, Episode 20: Reporting for Duty

It's time for This Week in OpenNMS <http://www.opennms.org/>. In the
last few weeks we worked on reporting, IPv6, remote poller maps, and a
lot of bug fixes and cleanups.

      1.8.5

      the current stable release, tagged 13 October 2010. For a complete
      list of changes and updates, see the "New and Noteworthy" page on
      the OpenNMS wiki

      As always, it is recommended that you back up your database before
      upgrading.

      support for IPv6 to the PL/PGSQL version of IPLIKE.

    * Lots of other bugfixes and such.
