7# Version 1.5 Released
8
9*Wednesday, October 2, 2013*
10
11The Nagios Plugins Development Team is proud to announce version 1.5 of the
12Nagios Plugins! This release comes with the new `check_dbi` plugin written by
13Sebastian Harl, and includes lots of enhancements and fixes provided by more
14than forty contributors. Many thanks to all of you!
15
16Special kudos go to Sven Nierlein for fixing numerous bugs, reviewing many
17pull requests, bringing our test suite back into shape, and setting up
18automated tests on a variety of platforms. This helped us spotting lots of
19bugs *before* the release. Let me also thank Ton Voon for doing the
20unenviable work of updating the bundled Perl modules; and our newest team
21member Jan Wagner for all his help with patch review.
22
23See below for a list of major changes. Note that the new `check_http` version
24introduces two minor backwards incompatibilities mentioned at the end of that
25list, so please be sure to check whether they might affect you.

27You can get the tarball from our [download page][download].

44* Add `--without-{dbi,ldap,radius}` options to `./configure`
45* Made Verbose output of `check_sensors` compliant
46* New switch `-E`/`--extended-perfdata` for `check_http` to print additional
47 performance data
48* New `check_http` `-d` option to specify a string to expect within the
49 response headers
50* New `check_http` `-J`/`-K` options for client certificate authentication

57* Let `check_fping` support IPv6
58* New `check_procs` `-k` option to ignore kernel threads (on Linux)

70## Fixes
71
72* Change the MAIL FROM command generated by `check_smtp` to be RFC compliant
73* Fix compilation of `check_http` without SSL support
74* Fix `check_snmp` reversed threshold ranges (backward-compatibility)
75* Fix `check_snmp` memory violation when using more than 8 OIDs
76* Fix `check_apt` security regular expression
77* Fix `check_http` handling extra header (`-k`) containing semicolons
78* Fix `check_apt` handling unknown exit codes from apt-get
79* Fix deprecated imports of `check_nmap.py`
80
81## Warnings
82
83* `check_http` behaviour of `-k`/`--header` changed since it does not separate
84 multiple headers by semicolons anymore. Use multiple `-k` switches instead.
85* `check_http`'s `--proxy_authorization` option is now called
86 `--proxy-authorization` (it was always documented this way)
87* The [contrib directory][contrib] has been removed. These days, sites such
88 as [Nagios Exchange][nag-exchange] and [Monitoring Exchange][mon-exchange]
89 serve as much better places for publishing plugins not maintained by the
90 Nagios Plugins Development Team.
