+ Over the coming week we will be making snapshot builds of the
+ i-scream central monitoring system from the CVS repository.
+ These builds will have quite a few changes from the downloads
+ currently available (a document detailing them will be
+ released later on), so please give them a whirl. We would be
+ grateful if you <a href="mailto:dev@i-scream.org">contacted</a>
+ us with any questions or bugs.<br><br>
+ The downloads will be available on our snapshot server :-<br>

+ Work has now been finished on a new ihost written in C. This has
+ been in the pipeline for a long time, and we're glad to finally
+ see an efficient native host! Credit goes to our new developer
+ <a href="/who.shtml">Pete</a>. Until we update the downloads
+ pages you can download the new ihost

+ We've finally put the finishing touches to the new
+ <a href="http://rrdtool.eu.org">RRDtool</a> based graphing system.
+ It's working well, and has done away with the MySQL database
+ backend which took up far too many resources. This new system
+ generates the graphs in a more realtime nature, allowing more
+ flexible graphs to be generated. This is currently only available
+ through <a href="http://cvs.i-scream.org/cms/source/reports/rrdgraphing/">
+ CVS</a>.

+ Java ACL (Access Control List) code has been added to the util
+ package of the i-scream server. This code will ultimately allow
+ the server to be more secure when exposed to the Internet. More
+ details can be found <a href="http://www.cs.kent.ac.uk/people/staff/tdb/#acl">
+ here</a> on the author's website.

+ <a href="screenshots/"><img border="0" src="screenshots/thumbnail-reports-raptor-load15.gif" width="100" height="107" align="left"></a>
+ 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.
