I'm happy to present you the new website of the NagVis project. The time had come to put the old design aside and give a fresh new design to the NagVis.org. That's it.

It took some time to migrate the contents of the page but I think it was not for nothing. In the next days we will change some graphical things like the new logo in NagVis to get something like a corporate design.

At this place: Thanks to Karolina Kalisz for the beautiful new logo.

Today we release the second release candidate of NagVis 1.3. There have been some important changes to hover menu handling which reduce the size of the NagVis map pages. Before this changes only the rendered HTML code could grow up to several MBs. The huge code was caused by the new hover menus with all it's new information. The hover menus are now only fetched on demand when someone hovers over an icon. This is done by some javascript and ajax handling.

Here a list of other changes in this version:

* Added new option "label_border" for configuring the color of the label border
* Added new macros [obj_address] and [lang_address] to host hover menus
* Added template inheritance
* WUI: Labels are now moving when an icon is being dragged
* WUI: Added value validation to WUI dialogs (main configuration, add/modify)
* Bugfix: Fixed var folder writable check (was not checking executable flag)
* Bugfix: It's possible to have hosts without services again
* Bugfix: Fixed bug in ndo backend when trying to get host downtime
* Bugfix: Fixed bug with UNREACHABLE hosts on maps
* Bugfix: Fixed bug in object handling when using template in map config
* Bugfix: Templates were not working with more than one template definition on a map
