New Features

  • Now produce packages and installer works on openSUSE
  • best practice compliance code now issues warn and unwarn events
  • new code for debugging bad key id problems
  • added overview documentation of cma python files
  • you can now say "make tests" to run tests
  • changed libsodium RPM dependency to not be so particular about the version of libsodium available
  • added support for scientific and scientificfermi linux
  • enabled /etc/sudoers discovery by default

Bug Fixes

  • discovery of /proc/sys now ignores I/O errors (this happens on some newer kernels)
  • linux os discovery won't issue funky messages when lsb_release is not installed
  • assimcli now works with a non-empty database again
  • fixed sudoers command to support += operator

Caveats

  • Not compatible with database formats before 1.1.0
  • Documentation has not been updated to reflect move to github. No doubt other shortcomings exist as well. Sorry! Please fix and generate a pull request.
  • No alerting, or interface to existing alerting beyond a sample email script (hooks to build your own interface are included)
  • high availability option for the CMA is roll-your-own using Pacemaker or similar
  • queries could benefit from more indexes for larger installations.
  • The CMA will suffer performance problems when discovering IP addresses when large numbers of nanoprobes are on a subnet.
  • no GUI
  • use with recent versions of Neo4j requires disabling authentication on Neo4j
  • Our current process only allows us to create 64-bit binaries. Feel free to build 32-bit binaries yourself. They still work for Ubuntu, and probably Debian and 7.0 and later versions of CentOS.
