Title: WATO rule based notifications: Validate regular expression for service conditions
Component: Notifications
Level: 1
Class: Bug Fix
Version: 1.2.7i4
The rule based notification conditions <i>Match only the following services</i> and
<i>Exclude the following services<i> were unabled to detect invalid regular expression.
An invalid regular expression causes an exception during the notification processing,
which ultimately leads to the loss of any notification running through this broken rule.

Title: Automatically restart core instead of reload after changes in local check plugins
Component: Core & Setup
Level: 1
Class: New Feature
Version: 1.2.7i4
If you create, remove or modify you own check plugins in
<tt>~/local/share/check_mk/checks</tt> then usually had to do a real core
restart with <tt>cmk -R</tt> in order to activate these changes. This is now
done automatically. Whenever you do <i>Activate Changes</i> then Check_MK
does a real restart on demand if it sees any modification in the check plugins.
This also helps the handling of installing and removing Check_MK packages (MKPs).

Title: Automatically detect changes in local web/plugins, no Apache restart needed anymore
Component: Multisite
Level: 1
Class: New Feature
Version: 1.2.7i4
If you add, remove or modify any extensions in <tt>local/share/check_mk/web/plugins</tt> then
a restart of your local Apache is not neccessary anymore. Check_MK will detect such changes
by looking at the time stamps of the contained files and subdirectories of <tt>plugins</tt>.

Title: Improved handling of wrong encoded input strings
Component: Multisite
Level: 1
Class: Bug Fix
Version: 1.2.7i4
When a user submitted non UTF-8 encoded strings, for example latin-1 encoded ones,
where we expect to get a UTF-8 encoded string, this resulted in a cryptic exception.
This has been fixed now by raising an understandable error message in most places.

Title: WATO-Replication of MKPs and files in the local/ hierarchy
Component: WATO
Level: 2
Class: New Feature
Version: 1.2.7i4
Distributed WATO now offers a new checkbox <i>Replicate extensions (MKPs and
files in ~/local/)</i> in the settings of a site. When you check this then
all MKP extension packages and files below the <tt>~/local/</tt> filesystem
on the site will be replicated to the slaves. Note: existing files and MKPs
on the slave will be removed, so you have an exact replication.
Extension replication is activated per default now if you create a new
site connection. Your existing connections are not touched so this is a
compatible change.
Extension replication only works with CEE and CRE. Manual setups
(<tt>./setup.sh</tt>) are not supported.

Title: netapp_api_if: now able to detect even more interfaces
Component: Checks & Agents
Level: 1
Class: Bug Fix
Version: 1.2.7i4
The check was unable to detect interfaces with no link-status information.
Some interfaces (especially virtual ones) often simply report an operational-status.
The check now uses the operational-status information in case the link-status is missing.
