Gang:

OpenNMS 1.3.7 has been released.

Performance is an order of magnitude better than 1.3.6. We've also  
added a new monitor called StrafePing. This is a port of Tobi  
Oeticker's Smokeping application which provides a graphical view of  
ICMP latency by sending out 20 pings every 5 minutes and measuring  
the time it takes to return. The median value is graphed and the  
deviations show up as grey "smoke". This monitor is also useful if  
you would like to get alerted when an interface starts dropping  
packets. It can be configured to be marked as "down" when less than  
20 packets are returned.

We have also become a silver sponsor on Tobi's Smokeping page in  
recognition of his work.

We also removed the need for tomcat, so no more struggling with that  
app (unless you want to, as it is still supported). OpenNMS comes  
bundled with the jetty servlet container. It runs on port 8980  
instead of 8080, so be aware of that.

In addition to our CentricCRM Trouble Ticketing plugin:

there is now one for Jira:

In order to make upgrades easier, there are yum and apt based  
repositories to make it easier to stay up to date.

See: http://www.opennms.org/index.php/QuickStart

Note: if you are still on 1.2.9 this is still not the time to  
upgrade, although we are getting close.

We had been planning on calling the next stable release OpenNMS 2.0.  
The 2.0 release is very important to us, and it involves not only new  
code but better documentation, more power in the GUI, and greater  
ease in distribution. But there is so much good stuff in the 1.3  
branch we didn't want to wait until 2.0 is complete to release  
another stable, so we have come up with the following plan:

1.3.7 - released today. This represents a very stable development  
release.

1.3.8 - End of October. This will be the feature complete candidate  
for the next stable release. This will also include the work that was  
started at our Developer's Conference, Dev-Jam, back in August.

1.7.90 - End of November. Rather than go to 2.0, we're going to 1.8.  
This is the release candidate, and should contain bug fixes for 1.3.8  
but no or few new features.

1.8.0 - End of December. This will be the next production release,  
and we hope to offer it to you as a holiday present for the end of a  
very successful 2007.

As usual, I hope you enjoy OpenNMS. If you need commercial support  
for it, please check out the OpenNMS Group homepage:
