Big Sister 0.98 beta 6 Release Notes
====================================

  An early release of the forthcoming official Big Sister
docu is included together with a (yet incomplete) set of
man pages.

  With the new default skin "techie" we get rid of the old
rather ugly default look. Existing installations: Please
use "%skin static_lamps,techie" and "%Logskin static_lamps,
techie" in bb-display.cfg to benefit from the new look.

  Moved "etherport" and "ntp" implementation over to the new
style sensors.

  Removed forcing local host name transformation into lower
case. WARNING: This might be a problem for administrators
running Big Sister on machines with mixed-case or uppercase
names. Anyway, since it is more consistent we decided to take
this step.

  The detailed test status page now includes a history of
recent status changes.

  The history CGI lets you choose detail level of status
information, now. 

  Introduced "%Autojoin pattern" in order to allow adding hosts
to groups by pattern selection.

  Introduced %Itemgroup and %select_items statement in order to 
have a means for selecting, which columns should appear in a
table.

  Introduced %select_names statement allowing us to select
rows appearing in a table by name (pattern matching).

  Added %Section statement. A "%Section" is a subtitle in the
contents frame. 

  Fixed the "bbd" crashing bug, also fixed a little
incompatibility of the "tcp" based tests with Linux Kernel
>=2.4.21.
