This Week in OpenNMS: NoSQL is Good SQL

It's time for This Week in OpenNMS <http://www.opennms.org/>. In the
last few weeks we worked on releases, the build system, reporting,
nightly builds, and JRobin.


  Project Updates

    * 1.8: Current Release is 1.8.7 (Chuck-will's-widow)
      1.8.7
      <http://www.opennms.org/documentation/ReleaseNotesStable.html#opennms-1.8.7> is
      the current stable release, tagged 8 December 2010. For a complete
      list of changes and updates, see the "New and Noteworthy" page on
      the OpenNMS wiki
      <http://www.opennms.org/wiki/New_and_Noteworthy#New_in_OpenNMS_1.8.7>.
      As always, it is recommended that you back up your database before
      upgrading.
    * Jeff, Matt, Donald, Jonathan, and Ronny did a bunch more work on
      the online reports, including adding a few more default reports.
    * Ben completely redid the build system. For details on how to use
      the new scripts, see Building OpenNMS
      <http://www.opennms.org/wiki/Building_OpenNMS> on the wiki.
    * Ben set up nightly Debian package builds. To use them, see the
      updated Debian/Ubuntu instructions
      <http://www.opennms.org/wiki/Installation:Debian#Adding_a_Repository> on
      the wiki.
    * Jay has been working on making JRobin capable of writing data to a
      Cassandra database instead of on-disk RRDs.
