The Nagios Plugin Development Team are proud to announce the latest Nagios
Plugins release.  This release contains several enhancements, including rate
calculation in `check_snmp`.  There are also lots of bug fixes.  Thanks to all
the contributors who raised issues or provided patches.<end-of-teaser>

## 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](#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
* Updated Nagios::Plugin perl module
* Updated gnulib to June 2010

## Fixes

* Fix `check_ircd` binding to wrong interface
* Add proxy-authorization option to `check_http`
* `check_icmp` now increment the sequence counter in each packet
* Fix usage of repeated `-o` options in `check_snmp`
* Try to detect arguments passed via `--with-ping[6]-command` and set options accordingly
* Fix memory leak in `check_http` for large pages
* Fix compilation with GCC 2.96
* Fix regression introduced in #1867716 where partially valid performance strings would not be printed anymore
* Fix regression in `check_http` ssl checks on some servers - make SNI an option
* Fix guest mode support in `check_disk_smb`
* Fix `check_disk_smb` and `check_ircd` failures when run via ePN
* `check_ldap` now allows for specifying an empty LDAP base
* Fix compilation error of pst3 in Solaris 8
* Fix `check_radius` returning OK on unexpected results
* Fix translations when extra-opts aren't enabled
* Fix parsing of multi-line strings in `check_snmp` (broken in 1.4.14) and enhance output in such case
* Fix detection of pst3 64-bit compile flags with Sun CC
* Fix `cmd_run` overwriting the environment, which would break some commands that needed it
* Allow `check_ifstatus` to accept version=2c - used to only allow version=2 (Brian Landers)
* Fix examples in `check_disk`, where it implied was possible to suffix unit values to warn/crit parameters

## 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
