Nagios Support Forum

At some point this afternoon, NCPA for Linux (Debian) had a new release, jumping from 3.0.2 to 3.1.0-1 but neither your website or github have the current change log or version listed.

Can you please provide the changelog, and perhaps be a little more mindful of publishing the changelogs at the time of release?

Thank you,


Edit: Added all three links for reference.

Hey @TBT

Noted on the being more mindful, it seems there may have been a bit of miscommunication and something was pushed prematurely. I know there was a snag on something with todays build in relation to windows so it may be in relation to that. Normally the changelog should just be up on the github.

The Changelog should also be updated on nagios.org/ncpa when an update is released.

Can you confirm 3.1.0 is production ready on Linux?

Thanks for the prompt reply,

I'm not certain what was pushed, but so long as the version was up to date (it should be), it is production-ready on Linux.

v3.1.0 is available via your Debian Repo, and we're running it on a few instances so far without issue. I'd still like to see the changelog though.

It looks like it can be found here:

The master branch doesn't appear to have been updated yet.

That is the Changelog I've linked in my OP.

Hi @TBT, I didn't see a whole lot of clarity in the thread so I just wanted to follow up with you before I lock the thread.

NCPA 3.1.0 did pass QA and is production-ready and usable. We hit a snag yesterday when building the final Windows binaries for publishing, but if you already have a Linux package deployed, I wouldn't recommend any further action for now. We're officially planning to release on Thursday (2024-05-16). In the meantime, our release team reports that they've removed the binaries that were already half-published - if you disagree, feel free to drop me a PM.
