						|
	  fallback to sendmail
 | 
						|
	check_ide_smart now defaults to plugin output, original output appended with -v

 | 
						|
	Don't have check_http's -N option expect an argument

 | 
						|
	check_dig: fix wrong IPv6 arguments order
 | 
						|

 | 
						|
	WARNINGS
 | 
						|
	New default installation prefix: /usr/local instead of /usr/local/nagios
 | 
						|
	check_snmp now evaluates negative values properly, which means it might return CRITICAL
 | 
						|
	  in cases where it used to return OK. If this is undesired, the warning/critical
 | 
						|
	  threshold(s) must be fixed by specifying e.g. ~:100 instead of 100
 | 
						|

						|
	  been disabled because they were broken
 | 
						|
	State retention: the NAGIOS_PLUGIN_STATE_DIRECTORY environment variable has been
 | 
						|
	  renamed MP_STATE_PATH. The old variable will continue to work in v2.0.x
 | 
						|
	Add the UID of the invoking user to the state retention file path. This helps solving
 | 
						|
	  permission issues when different users run the same plugin
 | 
						|
	check_swap used to allow returning OK on a system without swap when only percent thresholds
 | 
						|
	  were used. This is no longer the case and one must now use -n/--no-swap=<state>
 | 
						|
	The Perl and Shell plugins now use the PATH specified via ./configure's --trusted-path
 | 
						|
	  option, or "/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin" by default
 | 
						|
 | 
						|

 | 
						|
	  relative URLs on virtual hosts failed if both "-H" and "-I" were used
 | 
						|
	Merged two new checks that deprecates check_ntp: check_ntp_peer and check_ntp_time.
 | 
						|
	  You should read the --help output so see which one is suitable for you. check_ntp_peer
 | 
						|
	  implement stratum thresholds support (feature request #1703823).
 | 
						|
	check_ntp now returns UNKNOWN instead of WARNING if jitter is unavailable (jitter=-1.000000)
 | 
						|
	  as long as the thresholds range include -1. If no offset threshold is specified
 | 
						|
	  and the offset is unavailable, will return UNKNOWN as well.
 | 
						|
	  NOTE: If jitter thresholds are specified as integers it will return CRITICAL if jitter
 |

 | 
						|
	  after completion of the response

 | 
						|
	  is now deprecated. See --help for further information.
 | 
						|
	Check_disk now calls stat() on all filesystems to check. (Old: only the ones selected using -p)
 | 
						|
	  A meaningful error message (eg "Stale NFS Handle") is printed if stat fails.
 | 
						|
	New check_disk option -L: Only check local filesystems, but call stat() on remote ones, too.

 | 
						|

 | 
						|
	  Passing -E after -p or -r results in UNKNOWN state, now
 | 
						|
	  This is needed due to the new ignore feature
 | 
						|
	Fix check_disk bug when mixing case sensitive and case insensitive regex arguments
 | 
						|
	New check_dhcp -u/--unicast option for emulating a DHCP relay in order
 | 
						|
	  to check DHCP servers on remote networks

						|
	New check_dhcp -m/--mac option which allows for specifying the MAC

 | 
						|
	  - enforce a full path for the command to run
 | 
						|
	The "negate" utility can now remap custom states
 | 
						|
	Check_radius now supports radiusclient-ng
 | 
						|
	The (undocumented) positional parameter parsing which check_radius used
 | 
						|
	  instead of getopt(3) if 8 arguments were given is no longer available
 | 
						|
