We have a release candidate for NAV 4.3.0 ready to download for those who want an early peek.

The source code is available for download at Launchpad [1]. A new package for Debian Wheezy has been published in our APT repository, but in the "navbeta" archive instead of the regular "nav" archive - modify the instructions at [2] accordingly (We have no packages for Debian Jessie yet, due to dependency problems and our own resource constraints).

We have also published a "beta" Virtual Appliance on our homepage, if you want to test the release candidate separately from your production install (remember, there is no downgrade path!)

Changes =======

This release makes some fundamental changes to NAV's data model to improve support for non-physical devices (like Cisco VSS and Cisco VDC). Please read the release notes [3] for further information.

User-visible features and improvements:

* LP#744943 (Add switch to toggle display of traffic lines in Geomap) * LP#961212 (Show planned/active maintenance tasks for device in IP Device Info) * LP#1149160 (Auto-recognize HTTP URLs in reports and hyperlink them) * LP#1166695 (PortAdmin available from the toolbox) * LP#1169550 (NAV's data model should reflect modern reality, with virtual device support) * LP#1242872 (Option to turn off traffic stats in Geomap) * LP#1248081 (New interface/tool to browse unrecognized neighbors) * LP#1366895 (Report widget) * LP#1421644 (Support Weathergoose traps from external temperature sensors)

Bugfixes:

* LP#1397257 (Port Admin may not work properly for any non-HP and non-Cisco device) * LP#1447973 (CDP/LLDP neighbor matching fails when multiple ports match the identification) * LP#1447999 (Existing adjacency candidate data in db is not deleted if a device's CDP cache or LLDP remote table becomes empty) * LP#1448086 (Unable to identify LLDP neighbor's port in some instances)

Happy NAVing everyone!
