Title: Improved transaction handling to speedup the Web-GUI
Component: Multisite
Level: 1
Class: New Feature
Version: 1.2.5i3
On some systems the number of transaction ids could get very high,
thus slowing down the web interface. This has been improved by re-using
the same transaction id on a page multiple times.

Title: Cumulative permissions and contact groups for WATO folders
Component: WATO
Level: 2
Class: New Feature
Version: 1.2.5i3
WATO folders have now two new checkboxes in the <i>Permissions</i> attributes:
<ul>
<li><i>Give these groups also permission on all subfolders</i></li>
<li><i>Add these groups as contacts in all subfolders</i></li>
</ul>
The first one will add the configured groups of a folder also as permitted
groups to all subfolders (recursively). The second one will add the configured
groups as <b>contact groups</b> to the hosts in all subfolders.
The idea behind that is a simplification of the configuration. It is now
sufficient to specify the groups of you more general administrators at
the top of the folder tree and add more and more specific groups at
the lower levels of your folder tree.
In the table of hosts you now will see the permitted groups and the
contact groups of a host as two separate columns.

Title: Fix hanging shutdown of CMC on RedHat 5.X
Component: Notifications
Level: 2
Class: Bug Fix
Version: 1.2.5i3
When using the CMC on RedHat/CentOS 5.X then the CMC would not correctly
shutdown. The reason is, that the Python implementation of that OSes
raises an Exception on sys.exit, while newer versions don't. This has
been fixed by handling <tt>SystemExit</tt> explicitely.

Title: New snapin with virtual host trees
Component: Multisite
Level: 2
Class: New Feature
Version: 1.2.5i3
We have added a new snapin to Multisite: <i>Virtual Host Tree</i>. This snapin allows you to
have trees of your hosts created based upon tags. In order to use this simply add the snapin
to your sidebar and go to the <i>Global Settings</i>, section <i>Status GUI (Multisite)</i>
and the new setting <i>Virtual Host Trees</i>.
You can create an arbitrary number of virtual trees. They will be globally visible for
all users. Each tree consists of a sequence of tag groups. Let's assume that you have
created a virtual tree from the three fictive tag groups <i>Location</i>, <i>Application</i>
and <i>Criticality</i>. The virtual host tree will then have tree levels. At the
top level there is the selection of the location, on the second level the application
and on the leaf-level the criticality.
A click of an arbitrary node of the tree brings you to all hosts having the selected
tags.
