No, there will never be a new release of Nagios ever again. We've all decided to take up knitting and unicorn-breeding instead. On a more serious note; Ofcourse there will be a new release of Nagios. The memory leaks are not very serious and have not yet been merged to the Nagios core, so making a new release right now would be stupid. I still need more time to fully investigate the pros and cons of the patch sent in to handle the memory leak in the notification, for instance. I believe the proposed fix either doesn't fix the leak completely or fixes it in a bad way that would cause other problems, so I need to run it through valgrind a couple of times to first of all see the leak for myself and secondly make sure nothing bad happens when the patch is applied and there are multiple notifications going out, of which some are sent to escalated contacts. In the meantime, you can restart your Nagios daemon once a year to avoid any realworld problems from any potential leaks (although running latest svn trunk would fix most of them too, so you could probably get away with restarting only ever leapyear or something). -- Andreas Ericsson andreas.erics...@op5.se OP5 AB www.op5.se Tel: +46 8-230225 Fax: +46 8-230231 Considering the successes of the wars on alcohol, poverty, drugs and terror, I think we should give some serious thought to declaring war on peace. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ All the data continuously generated in your IT infrastructure contains a definitive record of customers, application performance, security threats, fraudulent activity and more.
