The third beta release of the NAV 4.0 series is now available for download at Launchpad: https://launchpad.net/nav/4.0/4.0b3

I'm also happy to report that the Norwegian University of Science and Technology and the University of Agder have both signed on as beta testers using the virtual appliance.

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

Bugfixes:

* LP#1270095 (APC sensors stored at wrong precision) * All VLAN utilization graphs produced error messages in b2.

User-visible features and improvements:

* Inserted the new NAV logo, and completely reworked the page footer.

* New NAV blog feed widget added as default.

* UI clean-ups and improvements in front page widgets, login page, Geomap, SeedDB, Messages, PortAdmin, Radius, Syslog Analyzer, IP Device Info, room photo database, personal preferences page and others.

* Fixed Internet Explorer 9 brokenness.

* Tool descriptions have been completely re-authored, and are now also available as a subheading inside each tool.

A Debian package has been uploaded to our APT repository. We have not yet built a new virtual appliance, but you can upgrading your existing one using the regular apt-get route. The updated package introduces a dependency to `python-feedparser`, so you may need to either use 'apt-get dist-upgrade' or 'apt-get install nav' to force an upgrade of the nav package (after issuing 'apt-get update', of course).

As usual, please report bugs at https://launchpad.net/nav/+filebug .

Happy NAVing everyone!
