[Announce] monit 4.1-beta4

[Jan-Henrik Haukeland]

The monit 4.1-beta4 is available from:

                http://www.tildeslash.com/monit/beta/

[This is the last planned beta release before the 4.1 release. There
was a problem with the previous beta releases in that they didn't
compile properly on Solaris or on FreeBSD. This is now fixed.]

There are important changes, both bugfixes and new features. Please
see the CHANGELOG, see also the changes from previous betas just
below.

To get a quick overview of some of the new features in this release,

Changes in this beta from previous beta releases (most recently
changes first):

v4:
*  Fixed build problems on Solaris and FreeBSD.

*  Fixed a bug that allowed duplicate entries under certain
   circumstances in the control file.

v3:
*  Fixed the bug in the icmp ping test that caused the ping test not
   to work properly.

v2:
*  Changed the check host test so if an icmp ping test is defined,
   this if-test will run first and if the ping test should fail we
   assume that the connection to the host is down and monit does not
   continue to test any port connections.
