7    NEW FEATURES AND FUNCTIONS:
8    *  Add support for Postfix SMTP access policy delegation protocol
9       test. Example usage:
10         check host policyd with address 192.168.1.5
11           if failed port 10031 protocol postfix-policy then alert
12    
13    *  Support to check lines appended to files added.  The feature
14       is usable with the following statements:
15          IF [NOT] MATCH {regex|path} THEN action
16          IGNORE [NOT] MATCH {regex|path}
17       Lines matching the IGNORE MATCH are not examined with further
18       IF MATCH tests.  Single extended regular expression or files
19       containing extended regular expression can be used.  In case
20       regular expression support is not available simple substring
21       matching is being used.
22    
23    *  Monit now sends three icmp echo requests in one cycle by default.
24       It is also possible to customize the echo requests count using
25       the count parameter of icmp test, for example:
26         check host myserver with address 192.168.1.1
27           if failed icmp type echo count 5 with timeout 3 seconds
28           then alert
29    
30    *  Monit now supports optional error notification reminder. For those
31       who want to be notified several times that the service is still
32       down, it is possible to specify the count of service failed cycles
33       after which monit will send another notification. The 'reminder'
34       option was added to local and global alert definition - example:
35         set alert foo@bar with reminder on 10 cycles
36       will send the error notification each tenth cycle when the service
37       remains down. If you want to be notified each cycle, then use reminder
38       on 1 cycle. Thanks to Pavel Urban <urbanp at mlp!cz> for suggesting
39       the feature.
40    
41    *  It is now possible to use the 'passed' word as alternative to the
42       'recovered' in recovery action section.
43    
44    *  Support for event ratio dependant actions added. It is now possible
45       to specify how many events during how many cycles are needed
46       to trigger the action. Both failed and passed actions may be
47       restricted this way. The part 'X times within Y cycles' is
48       optional - when not used, monit will act on first event (equals
49       to '1 times within 1 cycle'). It is also possible to specify just
50       consecutive cycles count. Example:
51         check host foo.bar with address 192.168.1.1
52           if failed port 80 for 5 times within 8 cycles then exec '/my/script'
53           else if passed for 10 cycles then alert
54    
55    BUGFIXES:
56    *  In the case that kvm access on FreeBSD failed (for example
57       because of environment restricted by virtual server), process
58       resource monitoring will be disabled. Thanks to Mike Jackson
59       <mjackson at datahost!com> for reporting the problem.
60    
61    *  Fixed URL connection test. Monit now really tries to download
62       content length data from the HTTP server or if not set, up to 1 MB.
63       Previous versions could fail to read all the data provided by
64       the server. Thanks to Ben Hartshorne <ben at hartshorne!net> for
65       reporting the problem.
66    
67    *  Fixed CIDR notation of monit http interface net allow option on
68       little endian architectures.  Thanks to Ben Hartshorne <ben at
69       hartshorne!net> for reporting the problem.
70    
71    *  Retry the service restart in the next cycle even in the case that
72       the stop method failed, until restart timeout limit is reached.
73       Monit silently timeouted the service in the case that the stop
74       method failed (just exec failed notification was send). Thanks
75       to Pavel Urban <urbanp at mlp ! cz> for reporting the problem.
76      
77    *  Close included config files after parsing. Previous versions of
78       monit kept parsed include files open, which could create a problem
79       with unmount or removal of such files. Thanks to Martin Rueegg
80       <mrueegg at metaworx . ch> for reporting the problem.                    
81    
82    *  Fix file checksum test with restart action. Thanks to Chris McKenzie
83       ( chrismckenzie at hotmail ! com ) for reporting the problem.
84    
85    *  Wait for complete SMTP server greeting in SMTP protocol test before
86       sending QUIT to the server. Exim4 is sensible on the client-server
87       synchronization and the protocol test failed because monit was faster
88       then expected. Thanks to Tadas Zelionis < tm at equs ! home ! lt >
89       for reporting the bug.
90    
91    *  Support the DOS end-of-line in the include statement of monit
92       configuration file too. Thanks to Michael Shigorin <mike at osdn org ua>
93       for reporting the problem.
94    
95    *  Allow multi-line banner response from a SMTP server in the SMTP protocol
96       test. Thanks to Sebastien Debrard <sebastien.debrard at strange-garden com>
97       for reporting the problem.
