         check_nt UPTIME accepts warning/critical thresholds (Ryan Kelly)
+        FIXES
+        check_snmp now attempts to convert string responses into a double value. If the full string is a value, 
+          check_snmp will consider it a numeric value and thus apply threshold checks and return performance data.
+          This reverts back to 1.4.14 behaviour with strings
