-        The i-scream ihost package has undergone significant changes to
-        make it more flexible and modular. It now incorporates plugins
-        which can be written in any language, and automatically XML
-        encodes data it is given (as opposed to the hardcoded approach
-        in the old version). It has also been made more robust, and
-        where possible optimised to reduce the load on the host system.

-        The current system for graphing i-scream data  from the i-scream
-        system is good, but proving to be unscalable and very resource
-        hungry. This is mostly due to the MySQL database backend,
-        and the vast quantity of data recorded. The new system
-        in development makes use of <a href="http://rrdtool.eu.org/">
-        RRDtool</a> to generate the graphs in realtime. This reduces
-        the peak loads of the system, and allows generation of more
-        flexible graphs. This work is nearing completetion.
+        Work is continuing, in conjunction with the new ihost, to extend
+        the range of i-scream's monitoring. Currently we are adding new
+        features to more accurately monitoring memory and swap usage,
+        along with more disk statistics. We are also planning to improve
+        the rather basic service monitors which are currently in place.
+        There are also many more subtle changes that need to be made to
+        improve the reliability and usefulness of i-scream's monitoring.
