The fourth beta release of the NAV 4.0 series is now available for download at Launchpad: https://launchpad.net/nav/4.0/4.0b4

Here's the changelog summary of today's release:

User-visible features and improvements:

* A port metrics tab has been added to IP Device Info, so that all port graphs are available on a single page (just like you're used to from Cricket).

* Sub-tabs in IP Device Info are now hyperlinkable.

* Portadmin UI has been reworked again, based on feedback from NTNU.

* All users are now presented with a "NAV tour" widget on their front page, which will give an interactive tour of the functionality on the new front page.

* Introduced widget for displaying the contents of `welcome-anonymous.txt` and `welcome-registered.txt`, as was always present on the NAV 3 front page.

* Introduced button to add any graph displayed in NAV to your front page widget dashboard.

* CPU stats from HP devices are now included in ranked CPU statistics.

* New button in ranked statistics to switch between regular graph and pie chart.

* Improved titles, legends and display of various graphs.

* Removed obsolete Adobe Flash component that was used to facilitate CSV export of the room switch port view.

A Debian package has been uploaded to our APT repository. We will likely build and upload a new version of the virtual appliance later today.

Happy beta-NAVing everyone!
