+title: Version 3.0.0-rc2 Released
+author: Lorenz Kästle
+date: 2026-01-02
+---
+
+The Monitoring Plugins Development Team announces version 3.0.0-rc2 of
+the Monitoring Plugins! 
+
+This is the second release candidate for version 3.0.0.
+
+It contains mostly fixes to the 3.0.0-rc1 version and is also not a full release,
+but serves as a basis for test until we are mostly sure not to break production
+setups.
+
+### Changes
+* check_nt was removed
+  check_nt is no long useful in current setups and hasn't been for some time.
+  Therefore it was removed without a replacement.
+* check_ntp was removed
+  check_ntp was marked as deprecated for a long time due to systematic problems.
+  It should not be in use anywhere and gets now removed to reduce code size and
+  avoid misleading users.
+  The replacements are check_ntp_time and check_ntp_peer
+* Bugfix for check_ntp_time
+  An errournous change in check_ntp_time made it fail in almost all use cases.
+  This has been fixed
+* Properly separate perfdata from different subchecks
+  A missing separator caused errors in perfdata strings (from C plugins) where
+  two different data points where not properly separated and showed up as a single
+  invalid data point
+* check_curl: append the query string from parsed uri
+  When using the old style follow method (`-f follow`) with check_curl the query string was not
+  appended to the new target after redirect. This was fixed. (Thanks Ahmet Oeztuerk)
+* Fixing different problems on OpenBSD
+  A few different things did prevent proper compilation and usage on OpenBSD, partly due
+  to different naming conventions there. These are hopefully fixed now. Thanks to Alvar Penning
+  and Stuart Henderson.
+* Gnulib update to stable-202507
