The newest feature release of NAV, version 3.10.0, is now available for download at Launchpad: https://launchpad.net/nav/3.10/3.10.0

The last bugfix release of the 3.9 series is also available at https://launchpad.net/nav/3.9/3.9.4

Both releases include fixes for the following issues:

* LP#898992 (ipdevinfo displays all ports as blocking whereas stpblock report confirms that they're not) * LP#900723 (No SW version on Cisco 4506E L3 switch) * LP#900779 (smsd crashes when discarding non-dispatchable messages with non- ASCII chars) * LP#901623 (mcc does not update maximum threshold value for interfaces) * LP#903128 (servicemon/pping opens a new connection on any database error) * LP#903681 (room report should include position) * LP#904178 (smsd removes permanently failed dispatchers even when it should ignore permanent failures)

The 3.10.0 release also fixes these issues:

* LP#744940 (geomap should default to a sensible start map) * LP#894727 (No server software versions since NAV 3.5)

The 3.10.0 release adds the following user-visible features and improvements:

* VLAN subtopology detection has been rewritten to Python. The old networkDiscovery Java program is now deprecated.

* Alerts when SNMP agents stop responding.

* Alerts on power failure SNMP traps from UPS units. UPS-MIB (RFC 1628) and proprietary MIBs from Eaton Corporation, APC and MGE are supported.

* Configurable port link status monitoring and alerting in ipdevpoll, independent of SNMP trap configuration.

* Alerts on redundant power supply and fan failures on Cisco and HP devices.

* Statistics from all environment sensors (such as temperature, humidity, light, sound, etc.) detectable through either ENTITY-SENSOR-MIB (RFC 3433), CISCO-ENVMON-MIB or IT-WATCHDOGS-MIB (IT Watchdogs WeatherGoose) are now collected via Cricket.

* pping can now ping IPv6 hosts.

* ipdevinfo and Machine Tracker now perform bulk DNS lookups in parallel, improving page load times when DNS is slow.
