After 4 years of it being perfect so the code was not touched, it is hard to remember really :) Would have to compare releases or dig cvs/svn histories to say better. There is a list in the README and for 0.18 changes in 2015 it is mostly small stuff, so it took years to be worth a release. Quite a few features came in 0.17 and earlier. One thing that brought me back to updating it recently, was figuring out why my remote desktop VM with a tendency to freeze was not powercycled despite status monitoring - and I found that by typo I asked for too many failures in a row to be diagnozed and happen it too short a timeframe to ever fire. So now the script tests for sanity of this setup and warns (in service log) if you ask for impossible ;) Hope this helps, Jim Klimov -- Typos courtesy of K-9 Mail on my Android _______________________________________________ openindiana-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
