Finally, NAV 3.6.0 is available for download at Launchpad: https://launchpad.net/nav/3.6/3.6.0
See the abovementioned URL for changelog and release notes. If you are upgrading from 3.5, be aware that there are multiple SQL upgrade scripts from the various beta releases, so look for the 3.6.0*.sql upgrade scripts.
There are undoubtedly bugs (lets not kid ourselves); if you find any, please report them at https://bugs.launchpad.net/nav :-)
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.
A big thanks to everyone involved in making this release happen, happy NAVing everyone!

A binary package are now available from Alioth [1] as usual. :) Remember to restart Apache after upgrade (/etc/init.d/apache2 restart).
Please report bugs related to the package to this list or directly to me.

And especially a BIG thanks to you, Morten! This is a really BIG milestone for NAV, no doubt. With NAV 3.6 we have reimplemented the heart of the system, the snmp collector, for the fourth time! Of course, learning a lot from our 11 years of history [1]. The current collector, ipDevPoll, is implemented in Python and looks very promising. The ability to support the monitoring of equipments from more vendors is now substantially improved.
We also plan to incorporate the java-based switch bridge table collector (getBoksMacs) into ipDevPoll in a future release, then also including LLDP support.
So yes - happy NAVing everyone!
cheers, - Vidar

[1] The first collector was a simple perl script that came with NAV v1 in 1999. In 2001 we introduced an improved perl based collection framework in NAV v2. In 2004 NAV v3 came along, now as GPL and with the java-based collector getDeviceData that you all have used until this day. After 6 years getDeviceData is retired. ipDevPoll rules.
