NAV 3.8.0 is now available for download at Launchpad: https://launchpad.net/nav/3.8/3.8.0

This is a feature release, which includes the following changes:

User-visible features and improvements:

* The database schema can now be kept updated automatically using the new `syncdb.py` program. Please see the `NOTES` file, and run the program as soon as you've upgraded.

* NAV can now configure descriptions and access VLANs on your switch ports when an SNMP write community is set for a switch. This functionality is accessible through the IP Device Info tool.

* SeedDB has been rewritten to use the Django framework (and has subsequently been reduced from nearly 5000 lines of spaghetti code to just below 2000 maintainable lines).

* The number of concurrent ipdevpoll jobs can now be limited on a per-job basis, to ease the load on your system if so desired. See the annotated `ipdevpoll.conf` file.

Bugfixes:

* LP#643550 (Include ipdevinfo links in switch search in machine tracker) * LP#545029 (SmbChecker runs out of available file descriptors)

Please report bugs at https://launchpad.net/nav/+filebug :-)

A binary package for Debian 5 (Lenny) will be made available as soon as possible. The Debian package is maintained by Morten Werner Forsbring, on commission From UNINETT.

Happy NAVing everyone!
