Enhancements

New check_ntp_peer -m and -n options to check the number of usable time sources ("truechimers")
New check_disk_smb -a option which allows for specifying the IP address of the remote server
New check_radius -N option which allows for specifying the value of the NAS-IP-Address attribute
New check_snmp --rate option to store differences between invocations. Saves state in PREFIX/var/{plugin}
check_snmp -l label option now also changes the perfdata label. See Warnings
check_snmp has an --invert-search option which reverses status of the string and regexp searches
check_http now displays the missing search string and the URL in the output when failed

Warnings

Updated developer documentation to say that performance labels should not have an equals sign or single quote in the label
check_http 1.4.14 introduced SSL SNI support - you now have to enable it explicitly with --sni
check_snmp -l label option is also used for the performance label. This could change history from previous uses
