🛠 FIXES * Fix:the livestatus module so that multiple external commands in one request are possible. (thruk uses this for mass operations) * Fix:the livestatus, so that host_name and service_description are shown correctly for downtiems and comments. * Fix: (reported by: Raynald de Lahondès) for python2.7, if shell launch, do not go in shlex split pass. * Fix: catch an exception when deregistering Pyro. (When the scheduler was started as the only process and no communication happened * Fix: Add the path of the current script (ex: bin/shinken-arbiter) and ".." to the list of paths where Python looks for shinken modules. * Fix: default config had duplicate command name define: check_http * Fix: clean Command(s) now subclass Item(s) as any "shinken.objects" * Fix: (reported by: Raynald de Lahondès) if a hostgroup member got no host defined, create a dummy service for no host, so failed. * Fix: bad UTC hour for scheduler. * Fix: in a rare case, the picle need to call the init of notification before the get_state, but it will call it without args. * Fix: (reported by: Raynald de Lahondès) bad hostdep definition (link host) was badly detected. * Fix: utf8 management in the db class. * Fix: the * member was wrong in service calling hostgroup of this kind. * Fix: the schedule immediate check now work without having to force it. * Fix: correct the check launch under python2.7 with utf8 char. * Fix: (reported by: Denis GERMAIN) set by default retention update inverval to 60 minutes. * Fix: bad sys.path management for ndo module * Fix: too much loop in daemons! do_loop_tunr must WAIT a little! To managed in the main_loop part I think. * Fix: if the scheduler gotthe same conf but got a wait a new one before, it do a zombie scheduler then.... * Fix: (reported by: Hienz Michael) do not close local file in the daemon pass. * Fix: (Raynald de Lahondès) setup.py for bsd systems. * Fix: service without host will be just droped, like Nagios. * Fix: Nagios allow elements without contacts. Do alike. * Fix: add protection against adding again and again the same actions ifthe scheduler ask it, like for orphaned checks. * Fix: sys.path management, not far more clear and error proof * Fix: (reported by: capibaru) add a strip pass before loading cfg files. * Fix: raise only one log for orphaned instead of xK useless logs. * Fix: (Venelin Petkov) missing customs on services copy of a based one (multiple hosts, hostgroups, etc) * Fix: (reported by: Ronny Lindner) manage the not host expressions for services.
