We have a release candidate for NAV 4.3.0 ready to download for those
who want an early peek.
The source code is available for download at Launchpad [1]. A new
package for Debian Wheezy has been published in our APT repository, but
in the "navbeta" archive instead of the regular "nav" archive - modify
the instructions at [2] accordingly (We have no packages for Debian
Jessie yet, due to dependency problems and our own resource
constraints).
We have also published a "beta" Virtual Appliance on our homepage, if
you want to test the release candidate separately from your production
install (remember, there is no downgrade path!)
Changes
=======
This release makes some fundamental changes to NAV's data model to improve
support for non-physical devices (like Cisco VSS and Cisco VDC). Please read
the release notes [3] for further information.
User-visible features and improvements:
* LP#744943 (Add switch to toggle display of traffic lines in Geomap)
* LP#961212 (Show planned/active maintenance tasks for device in IP Device
Info)
* LP#1149160 (Auto-recognize HTTP URLs in reports and hyperlink them)
* LP#1166695 (PortAdmin available from the toolbox)
* LP#1169550 (NAV's data model should reflect modern reality, with virtual
device support)
* LP#1242872 (Option to turn off traffic stats in Geomap)
* LP#1248081 (New interface/tool to browse unrecognized neighbors)
* LP#1366895 (Report widget)
* LP#1421644 (Support Weathergoose traps from external temperature sensors)
Bugfixes:
* LP#1397257 (Port Admin may not work properly for any non-HP and non-Cisco
device)
* LP#1447973 (CDP/LLDP neighbor matching fails when multiple ports match the
identification)
* LP#1447999 (Existing adjacency candidate data in db is not deleted if a
device's CDP cache or LLDP remote table becomes empty)
* LP#1448086 (Unable to identify LLDP neighbor's port in some instances)
Happy NAVing everyone!
