smokeping (2.6.5-1~experimental0) experimental; urgency=low
Instead of bundling our own configuration which constantly had to be
maintained in sync with upstream, we ship modified versions of the
upstream configuration files, which are now automatically split in
separate sections during build. This will lead to false positive in
configuration file changes, but just this one time, as we transition
away from ucf for config file management.
.
If you are upgrading from versions previous to 2.3.6-5 (in Lenny!), you
may have problems migrating your configuration. Make sure you at least
hit 2.3.6 packages to have a smooth upgrade as some compatibility bits
have been removed.

smokeping (2.3.6-4) unstable; urgency=low
The file hierarchy available to the web server has been moved
away from /var/www, which was a non-standard location. The recommended
way to set up the web part of Smokeping is to use the Apache2 configuration
supplied in /etc/smokeping/apache2.conf. This is done automatically
on new installations, see the README.Debian file.
.
Although the upgrade procedure tries to keep old setups working
with symlinks, make sure to merge the pathname changes in
/etc/smokeping/config.d/pathnames. Deleting /var/www/smokeping
afterwards should be safe if you have no manually added content there.
.
The recommended URL path to the CGI script is now /smokeping/smokeping.cgi
rather than /cgi-bin/smokeping.cgi. The latter should still work
through a symlink.
.
.
The default character set in /etc/smokeping/config.d/Presentation has
been changed to UTF-8. If you were relying on the former ISO-8859-15
setting, just edit the file to reflect this.

smokeping (2.3.5-1) experimental; urgency=low
The configuration file, /etc/smokeping/config, has been split into
subsection snippets in /etc/smokeping/config.d to ease merging of
configuration changes. The installation scripts will automatically
split the old configuration on upgrades, but the split won't take
effect unless ucf is allowed to overwrite /etc/smokeping/config.
.
This version also includes packaging changes to make the new
master/slave functionality work. A new directory, /var/lib/smokeping/__cgi,
has been created so that the CGI on a master host can queue up
ping results received from its slaves. The main Smokeping daemon
will then monitor the queue and update the RRD files accordingly.
.
Make sure to merge the new 'dyndir' and 'precreateperms' General section
variables on upgrades, otherwise the master/slave functionality (and
most probably also the old DYNAMIC host functionality) will not work.

smokeping (2.0.8-3) unstable; urgency=low
When upgrading from Smokeping versions 1.x to 2.x, you may have to edit
the configuration file /etc/smokeping/config. The most common incompatibility
is that the 'PROBE_CONF' lines are neither needed nor accepted anymore. Simply
deleting these lines is sufficient.
There are some other small incompatibilities; a list of those can be found
in the smokeping_upgrade(7) document. As the Smokeping configuration file
parser is now much more strict than in 1.x, the daemon complains about
these at startup and refuses to start.
(This entry applies to all Smokeping 2.x versions, but was only added in
version 2.0.8-3.)
