Hi all! I've just finished re-arranging the agent-check to support up/down separately from the weight and from the administrative state (ready/drain/maint). It required significant changes to the rest of the check system, but in the end it was really worth it because now servers have their own state and checks only change these states. Also we now have the ability to change these states from the Web stats interface, which becomes really convenient.
Those of you following the mailing list know what this means. It was the last show-stopper before the release :-) For sure there are still many things that we can improve, but normally no important feature missing. It is possible that I missed some patches despite having been careful, so if anyone has sent anything that was not yet merged, or if you were waiting for something which we promised long ago and which was not done, please report that now. Depending on what this is, we can still merge it or we'll decide to postpone for 1.6. I'd like to have any pending code merged before dev26 so that most people can test it without having to track snapshots, and after one or two weeks of positive reports (because reports will be positive of course), we can release 1.5 and expect not to break already deployed setups after that. Have a nice week-end, Willy
