I'm extremely pleased to announce the availability of the 1.0 release of the WebReboot Nagios Plugin. After months of testing we feel confident in giving this the 1.0 stamp. This new version now supports multiple WebReboots, allowing you to use a single installation for your entire network. The changes made to support this also cascade down to a single WebReboot installation by way of simpler configuration and better caching, reducing network traffic and increasing command throughput.

For more general and download information, please check out the changelog.

We have now made the plugin part of our official offering and is featured directly on our main site, making it available to a wider audience.

Finally, as part of the announcement we are running a bit of a promotion (some of you may have seen it on the Nagios Web site already). These discounts are made available as coupon codes that you can enter when checking out from our online store:

• NAGIOS_FREE_PCM -- Free WebReboot Power Cycle Module with the purchase of a WebReboot Enterprise ($125.00 USD value)
• NAGIOS_WR3_5PCT -- 5% off your purchase of a WebReboot 3.0

Once again, thank you to everyone that's been involved in helping get this 1.0 release out the door.

I'm pleased to announce the availability of the 0.4 release of the WebReboot Nagios Plugin. This release is recommended for all users as it significantly reduces the amount of network traffic required to perform a command. More work was done to simplify configuration and gracefully handle error conditions as well.

This is also the first release to feature support for the WebReboot 3.0. Configuration for the WebReboot 3.0 is identical to the WebReboot Enterprise, allowing a complete swap-out with little to no reconfiguration.

For more general and download information, please check out the changelog.

I am pleased to announce the 0.2 release of the maven-jython-plugin. Not much has changed since the 0.1 release, but 0.2 is being released because it targets the latest version of Jython (2.2) and Maven (2.0.7). For more information about this release, please see the changelog.

Looking forward, we do have some interesting work on the horizon. Jython 2.3 will remove jythonc, which is the core of both this plugin and the ant one. I had investigate some alternative options in compileall.py, but found it didn't quite meet the goals of this plugin. Once that is reconciled, quicker and more featureful releases should be produced.
