4 ENHANCEMENTS
5 check_mailq now supports auto detection of qmail, postfix, exim and nullmailer with
6 fallback to sendmail
7 check_ide_smart now defaults to plugin output, original output appended with -v
8 Extra-Opts are now enabled by default, see:
9 https://www.monitoring-plugins.org/doc/extra-opts.html
10 check_swap now supports a configurable state when there is no swap
11 check_radius now supports the FreeRADIUS Client library
12 New check_mysql_query -f option to specify a client options file
13 New check_mysql_query -g option to specify a client options group
14 Add performance data to check_mysql_query
15 New check_file_age -i/--ignore-missing option to return OK on nonexistent files
16 Make check_ping, check_users, and check_disk work on Windows

18 FIXES
19 Don't let e.g. check_http's -C option reset SSL version if e.g. -S 1 -C 5 is specified
20 Don't have check_http's -N option expect an argument
21 check_ide_smart could disable offline auto tests but could not re-enable them.
22 For this reason all SMART command modes have been disabled.
23 check_dig: fix wrong IPv6 arguments order (Stéphane Bortzmeyer)
24 check_dig: make sure not to give up too early when a timeout is specified with -t
25 check_log: don't stumble over log lines that include a "%" character
26 check_nt: add UPTIME to perfdata
27 Handle negative values properly with check_snmp
28 Handle SNMPv3 noAuthNoPriv properly with check_snmp
29 Fix compilation with GnuTLS

31 WARNINGS
32 New default installation prefix: /usr/local instead of /usr/local/nagios
33 check_procs now ignores its parent process to avoid unexpected results when invoked via certain shells
34 utils.sh no longer defines ECH
35 check_ide_smart -q/--quiet and -n/--nagios (Nagios-compatile output) are now deprecated
36 but accepted for backward-compatibility
37 check_ide_smart -0/--auto-off, -1/--auto-on and -i/--immediate: options have
38 been disabled because they were broken
39 State retention: the NAGIOS_PLUGIN_STATE_DIRECTORY environment variable has been
40 renamed MP_STATE_PATH. The old variable will continue to work in v1.6.x
41 Add the UID of the invoking user to the state retention file path. This helps solving
42 permission issues when different users run the same plugin
43 check_swap used to allow returning OK on a system without swap when only percent thresholds
44 were used. This is no longer the case and one must now use -n/--no-swap=<state>
45 The Perl and Shell plugins now use the PATH specified via ./configure's --trusted-path
46 option, or "/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin" by default
