9 + Added encryption subsystem to NSCA module (still no mcrypt support, but atleast you have "xor" and passwords)
10 + Added API for scripts to register commands
11 + Added command descriptions (for some modules)
12 * Fixed issue in NRPE that displayed a console window when running commands
13 * New improved "inject" dialog from the system tray
14   Lists avalible commands, and shows command descriptions and a lot of other improvments.

17 * Might have fixed the "missing eventlog messages" problem.
18 + Added %count% parameter to syntax which (when used with unique) will display the numbe of hits for each message displayed.
19
202008-01-27 MickeM
21 * Fixed a memory-leak in format_time
22 * Fixed so time/date is displayed in "local time" (not UTC) for the eventlog check
23 + Added %message% to evenlog check. Will display the "proper formated eventlog message" as in the eventlog viewer.
24   For this to work you need to have the descriptions flag set
25   In short: /nrpe -H 192.168.0.147 -c checkEventLog -a truncate=1024 "syntax=%generated%: %message%" descriptions=true file=System MaxWarn=1 MaxCrit=1 filter+eventType==error filter+generated=\<12h filter=new filter=all filter=in
26 + Added option "unique" to CheckEventLog If this is present only unique errors will be returned.
27   The uniqueness is defined by event-log, event-source, event-id and event-category.
28
292007-12-16 MickeM
30 + A lot of new features in the LUA module only "arguments" missing (as well as exposing more of the API)
31 * Changed some exceptions that were thrown wrong

42    * a default-catch
43    * If the socket failes to start we still wait for it to shut down (no error message)
44 + Added first version of the NSCA agent (NSCAgent.dll)
45   (no encryption support as of yet, but will come)

63 + added support for  <date strings> to check_nt:s FILEAGE command, Issue #39
64    append: .<date string> if you want to use a "custom date" like so: ... -v FILEAGE -l c:\\windows,Date: %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S" -w 5 -c 6 ...
65    Only the above listed %<char> works, and default to 0 so might not be to pretty but works...

193 + Added support for empty NRPE checking (i.e.. chec_nrpe without a -c argument)
194 * Added error message when detected language is missing from counters.defs
195 + Added Swedish locale to counters.defs (yes, I switched to Swedish XP on my computer :)

198 * Fixed a display error in the various size functions (1000-1024 byte was displayed incorrectly)
199
2002006-10-05 MickeM
201 * Yayyy!!! (first fix in a looong while :)
202 * Fixed a W2k3 "bug" (actually just an incorrect error) but the:
203   "e .\PDHCollector.cpp(130) Failed to query performance counters..." is no more...
204 + Added option to NRPE/NSClient section to not-cache host names (for dyndns etc.)
205   NOTICE this is "not safe" really in so far as someone might hi-jack your DNS and quickly gain
206   access to your nagios box (probably only a theoretical problem but hey! :)
207   NOTICE this is "slow" since all hosts in the list are "looked up" each time you get a NRPE/NSClient
208   request it will be "slow" but I think it is not that much of a problem really.
209   NOTICE I don't have the possibility to test this so feel free to report if it works and if it doesn't.
210   Set cache_allowed_hosts=0 to disable host cache
211
2122006-04-04 MickeM
213 * Fixed a few more bugs to the INI/REG readers
214
2152006-04-02 MickeM
216 * Could all magicians stop trying to kill me?
217   *Please* i don't like to die!
218
2192006-03-31 MickeM
220 * Damn necromancers! stop 0wning my ass all the time!
221 
2222006-03-29 MickeM
223 + Added API for saving/reading settings
224 
2252006-03-28 MickeM
226 + Added REG/INI parsers
227 * *NOTICE* You need to add an option (use_file=1) to your nsc.ini file or new builds wont work.
228
2292006-03-25 MickeM
230 * Oblivion f*cking roxx!
231
2322006-03-02 MickeM
233 * Fixed bug in INI-file reader (memory leak)
234
2352006-03-01 MickeM
236 * Fixed bug in CheckFile (now dates work correctly)
237
2382006-02-26 MickeM
239 + Added syntax option to CheckFile (%filename%, %creation%, %access%, %write%, %size%).
240
2412006-02-25 MickeM
242 * Fixed Sections problem (now sections can be any size)
243 + Added bind_to_address option to both NRPE and NSClient section in the INI file.
244   Allows you to bind the listener to a specific IP address (only dotted number not host name).
245   This might break things as I had to do some internal rewrite of the Socket classes so be careful :)
246 * Disabled default-debug logging (as things are fairly stable, you can still enable it by using debug=1 in the NSC:ini file)
247 * "Fixed" socket backlog to use "max responsible value" as opposed to "10" if no value is specified.
248 + Added option socket_back_log to both NRPE and NSClient section that allows you to tweak the "back-log" of incoming connections to keep.
249   This is an advanced setting and should not be used. If you get "connection refused" when running many client this might be something you want to tweak though.
250   And if you then start getting "Socket timeout" you might wanna tweak the timeout value as well because larger value here means it takes "longer" to process a socket.
251 - I have looked into the event log problem and dates seem to work here so if anyone still have problems (use the syntax option to debug) let me know.
252 * Moved listpdh and debugpdh into the CheckSystem module
253 * Removed PDH dependencies from "core exe" means you can run NSClient++ without PDH (though you cant use the CheckSystem module)
254 
2552006-02-2? MickeM
256 + Added new Interface for Modules (NSCommandLineExec that allows modules to execute things give from command line.
257   Syntax is NSClient++ <module name> <command> [arguments] and if a module doesn't support this it is simply ignored.
258 + Added new install/uninstall command to SystemTray module:
259   NSClient++.exe SystemTray install
260   NSClient++.exe SystemTray uninstall
261   That will install/uninstall the system tray module this sets the "Allow Service to Interact with Desktop" flag for the service.
262 * Removed the "Allow Service to Interact with Desktop" flag from the /install option so that it no longer defaults to on (see commands to set this above).
263 * Fixed so checkProcess isn't case sensitive.
264 * Added (not finished) syntax option to event log checker to format the outputted data
265
2662006-02-12 MickeM
267 + Added support for host name resolve to allowed_hosts
268
2692006-02-08 MickeM
270 ! Fixed filter-eventID in EventLog module (now works for all IDs regardless of severity state)
271 + Added new filters to EventLog (filter-severity that can filter based on event severity success, error, warning, informational)
272
2732006-02-07 MickeM
274 + Added new filter option to eventlog filter-eventID
275 + Added new operator to all numeric filters in:number,number,... etc. (for instance filter-eventID=in:123,456,789 to check for lists.
276
2772006-02-05 MickeM
278 + Added CheckFile check command
279   This new command (in development) will allow various file checks such as age, size, date, etc on single or multiple files.
280 + Added FILEAGE support to NSClient
281 + Started to convert the web page to WIKI
282 
2832006-01-21 MickeM
284 + Added WMI Check module (early alpha)
285   This is an extremely early alpha more to see if there is an interest and how to progress with it.
286   To use the WMI module enable the WMICheck.dll (nsc.ini) and then run the following check:
287   CheckWMI MaxWarn=10 MaxCrit=15 "Query:load=Select LoadPercentage from win32_Processor"
288   The Max* are as every other check and sets limits.
289   The Query works similarly to other check commands i.e.. Query:<name>=<WMI query>
290   So any other WMI query should work (notice this is experimental and not stable and has virtually
291   no error handling so it is likely to crash nsclient if you ask anything "non working".)
292   I would *really* *really* like to get feedback on how to expand this concept to work better so feel free to come with feedback.
293  * Fixed NT4 /install (should work now!)
294
2952006-01-02 MickeM
296 * Fixed ChangeServiceConfig2 on NT4
297 + Added support for more then 4GB memory (8GB?)

299 * Fixed syntax of performance data
300
3012005-09-24 MickeM

319 + Added service description
320 * Event log reworked (again) this time I hope it is better (and even useful, but syntax has changed)
321
3222005-07-26 MickeM
323 + Added support for ShowAll=long (to show long and short info, only applies to some areas, but available everywhere)
324 + Extended Drive and memory check syntax to facilitate both Free and Used space checks: MaxWarnFree / MaxWarnUsed etc)
325
3262005-07-19 MickeM
327 * Changed thread API to use _creatthreadex as opposed to _creatthread (works better now!)
328 * Fixed UNKNOWN return code (was 4 should have been 3)
329
3302005-07-16 MickeM
331 * Fixed drive checks from NSClient
332
3332005-07-11 MickeM
