## What's new when upgradeing from old versions?

## Installation

    - you can remove some obsolete files:

    	www/gifs
    	www/template.proto
    	bin/www.pl
    	bin/cgi.pl

      they will not be removed automatically!

    - when installing some new make variables are relevant:

        DEST		the directory where Big Sister is copied into
    			(defaults to /usr/local/lib/bs)
        EXEC		the directory where the DEST directory will
    			be found when Big Sister is running (defaults
    			to: same as DEST)
        INCLUDE		the directory where the Big Sister perl modules
    			will be found at runtime (defaults to EXEC/bin)
        CGIPATH		the url where your CGI binaries can be found
    			(defaults to /cgi)
        USER		the Big Sister user (defaults to bs)
        WEBROOT		the http path your Big Sister's web pages will
    			appear below (defaults to "/bs")

      e.g. install:

    	make install DEST=/export/local-solaris/lib/bs EXEC=/usr/local/lib/bs CGI=/cgi-bin

    - You will have to place a symbolic link to the new history cgi
      bin/bshistory in your CGI directory. The same applies to bswebalarm.

## Functions

    - The look of web pages is much more configurable now. The notion
      of 'skins' was introduced (see CONFIG). E.g. try this out: put
      into your bb-display.cfg before the first %Page statement:

    	%skin white_bg frames
    	%Logskin white_bg frames

      and at the bottom of the file:

    	%Frameset index top Big-Sister

    - The status texts are now written both in text (www/logs) and
      HTML (www/html) format. If

    	%itemref html

      is used in bb-display.cfg instead of

    	%itemref logs

      Hyperlinks web pages will point to the HTML version rather than
      the text version.

    - an interface for adding your own pager scripts has been added
      to bb_event_generator. Add a line:

    	*.*	pager=notify

      to your bb_event_generator.cfg and customize adm/notify.cfg

    - a means for treating alarms differently depending on the time
      of day and week day has been added to bb_event_generator. E.g.
      try this out (in bb_event_generator.cfg):

    	*.*{daytime 20:00-07:00}	postpone_to=07:00

      or

    	*.*{$mail eq "me" and weekday Sat,Sun}	postpone=180

    - FQDN support more configurable (on a per-display-server basis)
      (see CONFIG: uxmon-net)

    - added mechanism for running uxmon as root (touch adm/uxmon-asroot)
      for those who'd like to use ICMP pings

    - the history page is now a CGI script - means there are filtering
      options now

    - a (rudimentary) Web interface to the alarm (currently read only)
      has been implemented
