The newest feature release of NAV, version 3.12.0, is now available for download at Launchpad: https://launchpad.net/nav/3.12/3.12.0

The 3.12.0 release adds the following user-visible features and improvements:

* The Netmap Java applet has been rewritten in JavaScript, with many improvements, including, but not limited to, saveable map layouts and VLAN topology tracing. Layer 2 and layer 3 maps are now separate, and elinks/peers can optionally be displayed on L3.

* Searches in the navbar will now return results from rooms and interfaces, as well as IP devices.

* New room view with powerful port overview, enabling sorting, filtering and exporting information to CSV files.

* IP Device Info has been cleaned up, now with more information, navigateable via a tabbing interface.

* A map of registered room locations with status indicators can now be embedded in the main page by removing the commented-out sections of the `welcome-registered.txt` file.

* IPv6 traffic counters for router interfaces. Vendor support for this seems dismal at the moment, so keep nagging for software updates! If upgrading from previous NAV versions, new cricket configuration templates need to be copied; please read the release notes.

* ipdevpoll now supports both VRRP and HSRP.

* The maximum number of concurrent collection jobs in an ipdevpoll process can now be configured, which is useful in situations where the process runs out of resources such as file descriptors.

* ipdevpoll job runs are now all logged to the database, enabling more details and analysis of job statuses in the web interface. ipdevinfo will now display a timestamp for each of the configured jobs, complete with status indicators and warnings for jobs that may be overdue.

* The Maintenance and Messages tool have been migrated from mod_python to Django, and especially the former has received some improvements along the way.

And contains fixes for these reported issues:

* LP#736825 (Replace ip-hostname search in toolbar with a more generic searchbox) * LP#1039490 (Mixed IPv4 and IPv6 elinks are mis-labeled as lans) * LP#1040043 (Incorrect layer 2 topology in networks with VRRP routers) * LP#1043791 (MAX_CONCURRENT_JOBS needs to be configurable) * LP#1044321 (SNMP timeout value is not respected during Cisco community indexing) * LP#1046227 (Django >= 1.2 deprecation warnings)

Don't forget to check out the release notes before/during/after upgrading to NAV 3.12.

Happy NAVing everyone!
