short update on that - the current r1.7 will now warn you when loading idomod.o instead of idomod.so question remains - should this just warn or bail out entirely refusing to load the possible old module? > > Make sure to follow the Changelog in r1.7 release branch here > https://git.icinga.org/?p=icinga-core.git;a=tree;h=refs/heads/r1.7;hb=refs/heads/r1.7 > > since 1.6 we've been extensively adding functional& behavioural CHANGES > to that section in Changelog. it's worth a shot (even if a long one) - > see [0] > > @addon-devs > especially check the cgi updates, if you use those (e.g. anag, nagstamon) > > @packagers > those will help you as well. if unsure, follow the Changelog in icinga.spec > https://git.icinga.org/?p=icinga-core.git;a=blob;f=icinga.spec;hb=refs/heads/r1.7#l348 > > @all > please help us test these changes for upcoming 1.7 > https://git.icinga.org/?p=icinga-core.git;a=tree;h=refs/heads/r1.7;hb=refs/heads/r1.7 > (upgrade sql scripts are already in place, so just follow normal upgrade > operations) > > pick an issue, check the tests, comment on the issue > https://dev.icinga.org/projects/icinga-development/versions/72 > > > .. and apply for an icinga padawan in testing& qa :-) > > > Thanks!
