ENHANCEMENTS:
* New check_ntp_peer -m and -n options to check the number of usable time sources ("truechimers")
* New check_disk_smb -a option which allows for specifying the IP address of the remote server
* New check_radius -N option which allows for specifying the value of the NAS-IP-Address attribute
* New check_snmp --rate option to store differences between invocations. Saves state in PREFIX/var/{plugin}
* check_snmp -l label option now also changes the perfdata label. See WARNINGS
* check_snmp has an --invert-search option which reverses status of the string and regexp searches
* check_http now displays the missing search string and the URL in the output when failed (Duncan Ferguson - #2999924)
* Updated Nagios::Plugin perl module
* Updated gnulib to June 2010

FIXES:
* Fix check_ircd binding to wrong interface (#668778)
* Add proxy-authorization option to check_http (Marcel Kuiper - #1323230, Bryan Irvine - #2863925)

* Fix usage of repeated -o options in check_snmp
* Try to detect arguments passed via --with-ping[6]-command and set options accordingly (#2908236)

* Fix compilation with GCC 2.96 (Konstantin Khomoutov - #2977105)
* Fix regression introduced in #1867716 where partially valid performance strings would not be printed anymore
* Fix regression in check_http ssl checks on some servers - make SNI an option
* Fix guest mode support in check_disk_smb
* Fix check_disk_smb and check_ircd failures when run via ePN
* check_ldap now allows for specifying an empty LDAP base
* Fix compilation error of pst3 in Solaris 8
* Fix check_radius returning OK on unexpected results (Craig Leres - #2911752)
* Fix translations when extra-opts aren't enabled (Jan Wagner - #2832884)
* Fix parsing of multi-line strings in check_snmp (broken in 1.4.14) and enhance output in such case (#2832451)
* Fix detection of pst3 64-bit compile flags with Sun CC
* Fix cmd_run overwriting the environment, which would break some commands that needed it
* Allow check_ifstatus to accept version=2c - used to only allow version=2 (Brian Landers)
* Fix examples in check_disk, where it implied was possible to suffix unit values to warn/crit parameters

WARNINGS:
* Updated developer documentation to say that performance labels should not have an equals sign or single quote in the label
* check_http 1.4.14 introduced SSL SNI support - you now have to enable it explicitly with "--sni"
* check_snmp -l label option is also used for the performance label. This could change history from previous uses

Plugin:

Plugin: check_fortigate_session
To the developer of this plugin, can they make the following enhancements:

1. Create a configurable parameter field for the number of sessions that will produce a WARNING
2. Create a configurabe parameter efield for the number of sessions that will produce a CRITICAL

I am using this plugin to monitor a Fortigate 300A and beyond about 900 sessions results in a CRITICAL.

However the specs for this model allows:
Concurrent sessions 400,000
New sessions/second 10,000
Firewall throughput (Mbps) 400
