This Week in OpenNMS: August 22nd, 2017

It's time for This Week in OpenNMS! In the last week we worked on
internals, documentation, and web APIs.


    <#github-project-updates>Github Project Updates

  *

    *Internals, APIs, and Documentation*

      o Seth did more work on converting eventd to use Camel routes.
      o I continued my work on getting OpenNMS integration tests to run
        cleanly in Docker containers.
      o Alejandro added documentation on creating custom security roles
        in recent OpenNMS versions.
      o Craig did more work on license and product management in the
        plugin manager.
      o Jesse wrote a PagerDuty notification strategy, as well as making
        it so notification strategies can be exposed through the OSGi
        registry.
      o Jesse wrote initial documentation for Helm.
  *

    *Web and UI*

      o Jesse worked on a proof of concept for creating enhanced DTOs
        for the ReST API.
      o Seth got a property-based search API implmented in ReSTv2.
      o Markus improved null property handling in OpenNMS.js and Helm.
      o I changed date-handling in OpenNMS.js to work around a CXF bug.
      o Markus worked on date, date-range, and comparator handling in Helm.
      o I added support for passing a user when un-acknowledging an
        alarm in OpenNMS.js.
      o Markus added support for using the grafana user's account when
        performing OpenNMS actions in Helm (where possible).
      o Markus did a lot of other UI cleanup in Helm.


    <#opennms-horizon-2002-ruby-rhod-released>OpenNMS Horizon 20.0.2
    (Ruby Rhod <http://fifth-element.wikia.com/wiki/Ruby_Rhod>) Released

20.0.2 is primarily a stabilization release, fixing a bunch of bugs
(including the Enlinkd startup bug) and adding only a few enhancements
(like support for reloading Drools config on-the-fly).

If you are running Horizon 20 it is strongly recommended that you upgrade.

For a complete list of changes in 20.0.2, see the release notes
<http://bit.ly/opennms-changes-20-0-2>.


    <#opennms-meridian-201516-and-opennms-meridian-201616-released>OpenNMS
    Meridian 2015.1.6 and OpenNMS Meridian 2016.1.6 Released

Alongside Horizon 20.0.2, new Meridian 2015 and 2016 releases came out,
containing a number of important bug fixes. Release notes can be found
on the Meridian site <https://meridian.opennms.com/>.

*Please note*: while the goal of Meridian releases is to try not to
change files in |$OPENNMS_HOME/etc| to ease upgrade, it was determined
important enough to fix the |vacuumd-configuration.xml| file to fix the
operation that deletes old cleared alarms based on status. For details,
see NMS-4648 <https://issues.opennms.org/browse/NMS-4648>.


    <#monthly-release-schedule-3rd-thursday-of-the-month>Monthly Release
    Schedule: 3rd Thursday of the Month

After some discussions within the team, we have decided to move to a
monthly release schedule for regular bug fix updates. Horizon 20.0.2,
Meridian 2015.1.6, and Meridian 2016.1.6 are the first releases done on
this schedule.

New releases of the current Horizon stable release and any actively
supported Meridian releases will be done on the *3rd Thursday of the
month*. If there are any bug fixes committed in that time frame, a
release will be made.
