=======================================================

Download and additional information available from:

http://community.zenoss.com/code/zenoss-2.0 

Issues fixed in this release include:


Problems with zen2load.py
=======================================================

There was a bug in zen2load.py that caused it to not index the organizers 
properly which made many of the auto discovery features not work. As a result 
people who have done an upgrade from 1.x will need to rebuild the indexes. To 
do this run the following.

$ zendmd
>>> reindex()
>>> commit()


Problems with zen2dump
=======================================================

There were a couple of issues with the zen2dump.py script. This has been fixed 
but you must redump and then reload your data for the fix to happen.
* Duplicate IPs could be created as a result of the order in which zen2dump.py 
was exporting the Network tree. The problem would only occur when the default 
zProperty zDefaultNetworkTree was changed.

* Any templates that were defined on a device were not being exported properly


Special Instructions After Source Install
=======================================================
Builds from source will need to set the permissions on zensocket. To make this 
change, use the following command:

su root -c "chown root $ZENHOME/bin/zensocket; chmod uog+rx,u+ws 
$ZENHOME/bin/zensocket"


Changes Since Beta 1.9.6
=======================================================
    * IE should be fully functional

    * cleanup of device menus so that actions on a device list and on a device 
class are pretty much the same

    * set the "Monitored" flag to true by default on WinService and IpService. 
This shortens these list significantly

    * handle bad renderurl so that it doesn't go into cazy recusion

    * event history page is cleaner

    * longer timeout period for zentrap and zensyslog so that bogus hearbeat 
failures don't occur

    * refactor of zenmodeler's locking code

    * properly display Production State names in where clause builder when they 
have been changed

    * networks with /31 or /32 don't show -2 IPs available

    * Bind Templates and Reset Bindings menus in DeviceClass now

    * zenbackup has option to choose its temporary directory

    * return in event filter box doesn't blank out the event list

    * lower the number of SNMP packets in flight to make sure we don't overrun 
system buffers

    * respect monitored state of a box when pushing configuration changes

    * add --monitor flag to zendisc that allows the selection of a remote 
collector

    * make execution of user defined commands from the UI work properly

    * Fix Edit Product page so that it doesn't blow up with missing isOs 
attribute

    * Handle missing ZenPack directories better

    * Folder links in OS Process sequencing page now work

    * Major update to initial DMD database load
