+title: Version 1.5 Released
+date: 2013-10-02
+---
+
+The Nagios Plugins Development Team is proud to announce version 1.5 of the
+Nagios Plugins!  This release comes with the new `check_dbi` plugin written by
+Sebastian Harl, and includes lots of enhancements and fixes provided by more
+than forty contributors.  Many thanks to all of you!
+
+<end-of-abstract>
+
+Special kudos go to Sven Nierlein for fixing numerous bugs, reviewing many
+pull requests, bringing our test suite back into shape, and setting up
+automated tests on a variety of platforms.  This helped us spotting lots of
+bugs *before* the release.  Let me also thank Ton Voon for doing the
+unenviable work of updating the bundled Perl modules; and our newest team
+member Jan Wagner for all his help with patch review.
+
+See below for a list of major changes.  Note that the new `check_http` version
+introduces two minor backwards incompatibilities mentioned at the end of that
+list, so please be sure to check whether they might affect you.
+
+You can get the tarball from our [download page][download].
+
+## Enhancements
+
+* New `check_dbi` plugin for checking an (SQL) database using DBI
+* Let OpenSSL load its configuration file (see the `OPENSSL_config(3)` man
+  page)
+* Add performance data to `check_apt`
+* Add performance data to `check_procs`
+* Added `-4`/`-6` options to `check_dig`
+* New `check_oracle` `--connect` option to perform real login
+* New `check_nagios` `-t` option to override the default timeout
+* New `check_disk` `-f`/`--freespace-ignore-reserved` option to ignore space
+  reserved for root
+* New `check_disk` `-N`/`--include-type` option to limit the filesystem types
+  to check
+* Allow for building the plugins in parallel
+* Add `--without-{dbi,ldap,radius}` options to `./configure`
+* Made Verbose output of `check_sensors` compliant
+* New switch `-E`/`--extended-perfdata` for `check_http` to print additional
+  performance data
+* New `check_http` `-d` option to specify a string to expect within the
+  response headers
+* New `check_http` `-J`/`-K` options for client certificate authentication
+  support
+* Add support for executing queries to `check_pgsql`
+* Let `check_pgsql` accept a UNIX socket directory as hostname
+* New `check_pgsql` `-o` option to specify additional connection parameters
+* New `check_fping` `-S` option to specify the source IP address
+* New `check_fping` `-I` option to specify the interface to bind to
+* Let `check_fping` support IPv6
+* New `check_procs` `-k` option to ignore kernel threads (on Linux)
+* Let `check_procs` use `/proc/<PID>/exe` (if available) instead of
+  `getpid(2)`, unless `-T` is specified
+* Let `check_mysql` support SSL
+* Let `check_mysql` add perfromance metrics for all checks
+* New `check_mysql` `-f` option to specify a client options file
+* New `check_mysql` `-g` option to specify a client options group
+* New `check_snmp` `--offset` option to allow for adding/substracting an
+  offset value to sensor data
+* Let `check_snmp` support an arbitrary number of OIDs
+* Let `check_ide_smart` support NetBSD
+
+## Fixes
+
+* Change the MAIL FROM command generated by `check_smtp` to be RFC compliant
+* Fix compilation of `check_http` without SSL support
+* Fix `check_snmp` reversed threshold ranges (backward-compatibility)
+* Fix `check_snmp` memory violation when using more than 8 OIDs
+* Fix `check_apt` security regular expression
+* Fix `check_http` handling extra header (`-k`) containing semicolons
+* Fix `check_apt` handling unknown exit codes from apt-get
+* Fix deprecated imports of `check_nmap.py`
+
+## Warnings
+
+* `check_http` behaviour of `-k`/`--header` changed since it does not separate
+  multiple headers by semicolons anymore. Use multiple `-k` switches instead.
+* `check_http`'s `--proxy_authorization` option is now called
+  `--proxy-authorization` (it was always documented this way)
+* The [contrib directory][contrib] has been removed.  These days, sites such
+  as [Nagios Exchange][nag-exchange] and [Monitoring Exchange][mon-exchange]
+  serve as much better places for publishing plugins not maintained by the
+  Nagios Plugins Development Team.
