version 0.9.6
-------------
Feature Request 2010-003: bp_cfg2service_cfg.pl can optional generate an
additional notes line containing the description You did define
in nagios-bp.conf
use commandline switch "-n 1" if you want this
Bug 2010-004 fixed: some translation errors in english
Feature Request 2010-005: Display the timestamp when page was created
on every page.
Bug 2010-006 fixed: some typing errors in german
Preformance enhancement 2010-008: when executing check_bp_status.pl,
the info from external_info scripts is never used
so we do not execute them any longer for a better performance
Feature Request 2010-009: Better integration with Icinga.
You can use the Icinga-API by HTTP/JSON as an additional backend.
There are Cronks to integrate the Business Process View
directly in the new Icinga-Web.
Feature Request 2010-009: Whithin this feature request, Business Process
AddOns have got a JSON-API. This means You can query state
information of business processes from the Nagios Business Process
AddOns in JSON format to use the results e. g. in Your own scripts
or for building up Your own GUI. For more info, see API-DOC.
Bug 2010-010 fixed: on more errors we now display a helpful HTML page
instead of a technical error
Bug 2010-011 fixed: most generated HTML pages refresh after a certain
amount of time. On error pages this is useless. So took the
refresh out.
version 0.9.5
-------------
Bug 2008-008 fixed: info_url directives did not work, if the given URL
did contain a = sign
we thought, it was fixed in 0.9.2, but the problem still did
exist; now it should be fixed.
Feature Request 2009-021: bp_cfg2service_cfg.pl got an additional option
-o to tell where the result file should be created
so You can use each path You like, e. g. directly put it into
a cfg_dir used by Nagios
Bug 2009-022 fixed: When using whereUsed by giving host and service name
by HTTP referer, the URL decoding of the HTTP referer did not work
correct if host or service names had special characters such as /
(slash).
Feature Request 2009-023: whereUsed now also works with more than one
nagios-bp.conf
Improofment 2009-024: rewrite of an internal used method (cutOffSpaces)
for more efficiency
Bug 2009-026 fixed: whereUsed did not work, if the hostname did contain
a . (dot)

are now redirected to the web GUI.
(Thanks to Sven Velt for the idea and the patch)
Feature Request 2009-029: Users can adapt the GUI to fit Your personal
needs now.
for more information see README, section "Adapting the GUI to

They now validate without errors and warnings.

Feature Request 2008-012: made check_bp_status.pl more compliant to
the Nagios Plugin Developers Guideline
Bug 2008-025 fixed: in the INSTALL file the section about modifying
side.html there was an old (wrong) path
Feature Request 2009-001: support for ndo2fs was added
If You don't like the overhead of a database, You alternatively
can use ndo2fs (http://www.pnp4nagios.org/ndo2fs/start) which
writes the same information into the file system.
Nagios Business Process AddOns can read them from the filesystem
now as well.
(But keep in mind: ndo2fs uses NDOUTILS as well, You don't save
the installation of NDOUTILS, but only the overhead of running
a database.)
Bug 2009-002 fixed: in the Nagios plugin check_bp_status.pl the
lib path did contain an old (wrong) path
Feature Request 2009-003: a script was added that helps You to find
