What's new?



Please refer to the CHANGES.PLAINTEXT file for
a list of changes. Note that this release is the
production release of 0.36 and therefore some 
new features listed here were already present
in 0.36.

New features in 0.36 (see also CONFIG, HOWTO and CHANGES):

    - new logging: any incoming message on the status
      collector (bbd) is now logged to www/logs/history/status.log.
      Eventually this log will be used for interprocess
      communication linking together Big Sister server
      processes.
      Two new bbd options have been added (see CONFIG):

	NewLog (write to status.log)
	BBLog  (maintain old BB style logging structure in www/logs)

    - an early version of the future Web admin
      console has been added - add the 'bswebadmin'
      command to your cgi (or Fast CGI) directory
      for trying it out

    - uxmon: you are now free to define the time 
      interval between two runs of each monitor
      and report - read the corresponding HOWTO
      section

      NOTE that this has some impact on writing
      your own monitoring modules 

    - bbd: a new security model was introduced -
      it allows to differentiate which client
      is permitted to perform specific operations.
      See the section on adm/permissions in
      the CONFIG documentation
