This file documents the major additions and syntax changes between releases.
+3.0.0 16th Jun 2026
+ Codename: Johann Georg Elser
+
+ This release contains a lot of changes (at least at the C side of
things),
+ both regarding the code, but also regarding the development itself.
+ There are some breaking changes included, including the deprecation or
removal of Plugins.
+
+ Removals
+ * check_nt
+ * check_ntp
+ * check_nwstat
+ * check_overcr
+
+ Deprecations
+ Deprecated plugins are marked as dead but still there since they are
+ in common usage. They will not be developed any further, but patches
may get
+ accepted if there is not much effort and a low risk of breaking
something.
+ It is recommended to stop using them and they will be removed in a
future release
+ * check_http, the replacement is check_curl
+
+ General changes
+ * check_curl is no longer experimental and can be considered stable
+ * check_snmp links directly against net-snmp instead of executing
`snmpget` (or `snmpgetnext`)
+ * the vendored version of Gnulib was updated
+ * IPv6 is no longer optional
+ * All of the C plugins were heavily refactored to homongenize the code
+ * Far less global variables to reduce complexity and side effects
+ * A more or less common structure to reduce the mental overhead
+ * All of the C code is now formatted with clang-format
+
+ Fixes
+ * multiple plugins
+ * improved error message for missing certificate
+ * fixes for compiler warnings
+ * Compilation on OpenBSD was fixed
+ * added CHECK_EOF to work around warnings about EOF and -1 being the
same
+ * lots of Typos
+ * check_curl
+ * fix relative redirects on non-standard port
+ * raise SSL issue when --continue-after-certificate is used
+ * Documentation for --certificate, --cookie-jar
+ * fix help for regex state
+ * fix OpenSSL SSL_read: error: ... unexpected eof while reading
+ * update TLS notification notes
+ * enable internal cookie handling
+ * Fix sticky redir
+ * try to be more helpful in check_curls help
+ * abort redir if location is not found
+ * old style follow on redirect did miss some parts
+ * check_fping
+ * Improve handling of IPv4/IPv6 options
+ * check_ssh
+ * Fix a buffer overflow situation
+ * check_by_ssh
+ * Ignore output on stderr by default
+ * check_snmp
+ * Put all privproto/authproto options into help
+ * check_mysql
+ * Fix replica check on newer versions of MySQL
+
+ Enhancements
+ * multiple plugins
+ * A new output infrastructure for the C part of the project
+ * Removes some text formatting complexity from individual plugins
+ * Multi line output is the new default and should make the
output better readable
+ * Centralised formatting allows for extenting the output format
+ * Most of the C plugins were migrated to the new system
+ * On OpenBSD some plugins restrict themselves to reduce security risks
+ * check_dig: add -E/--require-flags and -X/--forbid-flags
+ * check_ifstatus: Add -d switch
+ * check_fping
+ * Add dontfrag / random flags
+ * Add fwmark option
+ * Add icmp-timestamp option
+ * Add check-source option
+ * check_curl
+ * Add proxy option (similar to `curl`)
+ * Add selectable timeout return state
+ * check_http
+ * Add selectable timeout return state
+
2.4.0 25th Jul 2024
FIXES
* check_dbi: Compiler warning for uninitialized variable
