This version is a bugfix release only with no new added features. If you are running version 0.9.0 it is strongly recommended to upgrade to 0.9.1

Version 0.9 is planned to be a maintenance only stream which will have some minor feature enhancements but mainly bugfixes. The idea behind this is to shakeout any bugs that may of appeared due to the major re-work between 0.8.5 and 0.9.0

Both the web frontend and backend (engines) have had extensive re-work done to them to cleanup and tighten up the code. There should be a lot less warnings and errors from PHP when you set to a higher error level.
  • Fixed error in syslog consolidator which fails for postgresql
  • All webpage input passes through Sanitizer
  • register_globals no longer needs to be turned on, so turn it off!
  • rrdtool v1.0 support dropped
  • lots of cleanup
  • poller rewritten with parent/child code
  • autodiscovery the same as poller
  • Removed php rrd module support
  • Interface auto-discovery will check sysobjid before trying discovery
  • IPv6 reachability support
  • Separated interface selector code
  • SNMP interfaces can have High Speed and optinally no Cisco proxy ping

I am expecting this to be the last RC before 0.9.0 comes out. It has significantly better job control between the parent and child processes for the engines and some clean-ups that I have previously missed.

It fixes the setup page problems that some people have seen and also the DHTML maps wrap the interfaces near the width of the screen.

There are no database changes between RC1 and RC2 and you can find it at http://sourceforge.net/projects/jffnms/files/jffnms%20RC/

Version 0.9.0 has a major amount of work in cleaning up and securing the code.

The majority of the work has been in the complete re-write of the engines that do the polling, autodiscovery and consolidation. The parent/child communication has changed as has the way the processes are forked.

On the front-end, the requirement to register globals has finally been removed, with the code explicitly specifying and sanitising the variables it requires. This will make it easier to debug problems and make the application webservers more secure.

Finally there is better support for High Capacity interface counters and some support for IPv6, meaning you can see how slow ipv6.google.com is from your place.

JFFNMS 0.9.0rc1 is available from SourceForge at https://sourceforge.net/projects/jffnms/files/jffnms%20RC/
