Issues fixed in this release include:

Problems with zen2load.py

There was a bug in zen2load.py that caused it to not index the organizers properly which made many of the auto discovery features not work. As a result people who have done an upgrade from 1.x will need to rebuild the indexes. To do this run the following.

$ zendmd
>>> reindex()
>>> commit()

Problems with zen2dump

There were a couple of issues with the zen2dump.py script. This has been fixed but you must redump and then reload your data for the fix to happen.

Duplicate IPs could be created as a result of the order in which zen2dump.py was exporting the Network tree. The problem would only occur when the default zProperty zDefaultNetworkTree was changed.
Any templates that were defined on a device were not being exported properly

Special Instructions After Source Install

Builds from source will need to set the permissions on zensocket. To make this change, use the following command:

su root -c "chown root $ZENHOME/bin/zensocket; chmod uog+rx,u+ws $ZENHOME/bin/zensocket"

Changes Since Beta 1.9.6

IE should be fully functional
cleanup of device menus so that actions on a device list and on a device class are pretty much the same
set the "Monitored" flag to true by default on WinService and IpService. This shortens these list significantly
handle bad renderurl so that it doesn't go into cazy recursion
event history page is cleaner
longer timeout period for zentrap and zensyslog so that bogus hearbeat failures don't occur
refactor of zenmodeler's locking code
properly display Production State names in where clause builder when they have been changed
networks with /31 or /32 don't show -2 IPs available
Bind Templates and Reset Bindings menus in DeviceClass now
zenbackup has option to choose its temporary directory
return in event filter box doesn't blank out the event list
lower the number of SNMP packets in flight to make sure we don't overrun system buffers
respect monitored state of a box when pushing configuration changes
add --monitor flag to zendisc that allows the selection of a remote collector
make execution of user defined commands from the UI work properly
Fix Edit Product page so that it doesn't blow up with missing isOs attribute
Handle missing ZenPack directories better
Folder links in OS Process sequencing page now work
Major update to initial DMD database load
