For many years, we've asked NAV users to send us a postcard to tell us
they use NAV (see: http://metanav.uninett.no/postcard).
Up until now, we've received a total sum of 0 (zero) cards :-(
I just want to send a shout-out and a big thanks to Matěj Grégr, from
the University of Brno in the Czech Republic, who recently sent us no
less than _two_ postcards :-)
These are now proudly on display on the window facing the hallway
outside my office: http://yfrog.com/h8qbqgxj

A beta version of the upcoming 3.9 series of NAV, version 3.9.0b1, is
now available for download at Launchpad for those who wish to test it:
https://launchpad.net/nav/3.9/3.9.0b1
The 3.9 series include these improvements:
User-visible features and improvements:
* NAV's threshold monitoring feature has finally been completed - Threshold
Manager is a new web tool that allows adjusting threshold values for
individual statistical data sources. Alerts generated by the threshold
monitor can be subscribed to in users' alert profiles.
* MAC Watch is a new web tool that maintains a watch list of MAC addresses.
Whenever a watched MAC address appears on your network, NAV will send an
alert that can be subscribed to.
* ipdevpoll can now retrieve VLAN configuration from Extreme Networks
devices.
* ipdevpoll can now optionally use the pynetsnmp library as an alternative
to the TwistedSNMP/PySNMP combination. pynetsnmp is a ctypes binding to
the well-known NetSNMP library, and should noticeably improve performance
if used.
* Layer 2 topology discovery has been rewritten from scratch, due to both
problems with the results of the old discovery code and problems with
maintaining the old code.
Bugfixes:
* LP#739718 (ifName should be derived from baseport number if not available)
More changes may still make it into the final release.
