21 * Yayyy!!! (first fix in a looong while :)
22 * Fixed a W2k3 "bug" (actually just an incorrect error) but the:
23   "e .\PDHCollector.cpp(130) Failed to query performance counters..." is no more...
24 + Added option to NRPE/NSClient section to not-cache host names (for dyndns etc.)
25   NOTICE this is "not safe" really in so far as someone might hi-jack your DNS and quickly gain
26   access to your nagios box (probably only a theoretical problem but hey! :)
27   NOTICE this is "slow" since all hosts in the list are "looked up" each time you get a NRPE/NSClient
28   request it will be "slow" but I think it is not that much of a problem really.
29   NOTICE I don't have the possibility to test this so feel free to report if it works and if it doesn't.
30   Set cache_allowed_hosts=0 to disable host cache
31
322006-04-04 MickeM
33 * Fixed a few more bugs to the INI/REG readers
34
352006-04-02 MickeM
36 * Could all magicians stop trying to kill me?
37   *Please* i don't like to die!

40 * Damn necromancers! stop 0wning my ass all the time!
41 
422006-03-29 MickeM
43 + Added API for saving/reading settings
44 
452006-03-28 MickeM
46 + Added REG/INI parsers
47 * *NOTICE* You need to add an option (use_file=1) to your nsc.ini file or new builds wont work.
48
492006-03-25 MickeM
50 * Oblivion f*cking roxx!
51
522006-03-02 MickeM
53 * Fixed bug in INI-file reader (memory leak)
54
552006-03-01 MickeM
56 * Fixed bug in CheckFile (now dates work correctly)
57
582006-02-26 MickeM
59 + Added syntax option to CheckFile (%filename%, %creation%, %access%, %write%, %size%).
60
612006-02-25 MickeM
62 * Fixed Sections problem (now sections can be any size)
63 + Added bind_to_address option to both NRPE and NSClient section in the INI file.
64   Allows you to bind the listener to a specific IP address (only dotted number not host name).
65   This might break things as I had to do some internal rewrite of the Socket classes so be careful :)
66 * Disabled default-debug logging (as things are fairly stable, you can still enable it by using debug=1 in the NSC:ini file)
67 * "Fixed" socket backlog to use "max responsible value" as opposed to "10" if no value is specified.
68 + Added option socket_back_log to both NRPE and NSClient section that allows you to tweak the "back-log" of incoming connections to keep.
69   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.
70   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.
71 - 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.
72 * Moved listpdh and debugpdh into the CheckSystem module
73 * Removed PDH dependencies from "core exe" means you can run NSClient++ without PDH (though you cant use the CheckSystem module)
74 
752006-02-2? MickeM
76 + Added new Interface for Modules (NSCommandLineExec that allows modules to execute things give from command line.
77   Syntax is NSClient++ <module name> <command> [arguments] and if a module doesn't support this it is simply ignored.
78 + Added new install/uninstall command to SystemTray module:
79   NSClient++.exe SystemTray install
80   NSClient++.exe SystemTray uninstall
81   That will install/uninstall the system tray module this sets the "Allow Service to Interact with Desktop" flag for the service.
82 * 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).
83 * Fixed so checkProcess isn't case sensitive.
84 * Added (not finished) syntax option to event log checker to format the outputted data
85
862006-02-12 MickeM
87 + Added support for host name resolve to allowed_hosts
88
892006-02-08 MickeM
90 ! Fixed filter-eventID in EventLog module (now works for all IDs regardless of severity state)
91 + Added new filters to EventLog (filter-severity that can filter based on event severity success, error, warning, informational)
92
932006-02-07 MickeM
94 + Added new filter option to eventlog filter-eventID
95 + Added new operator to all numeric filters in:number,number,... etc. (for instance filter-eventID=in:123,456,789 to check for lists.
96
972006-02-05 MickeM
98 + Added CheckFile check command
99   This new command (in development) will allow various file checks such as age, size, date, etc on single or multiple files.
100 + Added FILEAGE support to NSClient
101 + Started to convert the web page to WIKI
102 
1032006-01-21 MickeM
104 + Added WMI Check module (early alpha)
105   This is an extremely early alpha more to see if there is an interest and how to progress with it.
106   To use the WMI module enable the WMICheck.dll (nsc.ini) and then run the following check:
107   CheckWMI MaxWarn=10 MaxCrit=15 "Query:load=Select LoadPercentage from win32_Processor"
108   The Max* are as every other check and sets limits.
109   The Query works similarly to other check commands i.e.. Query:<name>=<WMI query>
110   So any other WMI query should work (notice this is experimental and not stable and has virtually
111   no error handling so it is likely to crash nsclient if you ask anything "non working".)
112   I would *really* *really* like to get feedback on how to expand this concept to work better so feel free to come with feedback.
113  * Fixed NT4 /install (should work now!)
114
1152006-01-02 MickeM
116 * Fixed ChangeServiceConfig2 on NT4

120

143 + Added support for ShowAll=long (to show long and short info, only applies to some areas, but available everywhere)
