Title: Improved execution time of e.g. service discovery
Component: Core & setup
Level: 1
Class: New feature
Version: 1.6.0i1
The overall execution time of the service discovery has been reduced by
introducing some precompiling of the check plugins and their includes
before loading them. The mechanism is similar to the compilation of
python modules from (.py to .pyc files). This mechanism reduces the
load time of the plugins by 50%.

Title: Fixed sync after user notification rule changes
Component: Notifications
Level: 1
Class: Bug fix
Version: 1.6.0i1
When a user changes his personal notification rules in a distributed
environment, the user profile synchronization was only performed for the
configured "login sites". These are the sites where user logins are allowed (by
the site configuration). In case of notification setting changes the notification
rules need to be synchronized to all sites instead.

Title: Improved initial activation step performance in some cases
Component: WATO
Level: 1
Class: Bug fix
Version: 1.6.0i1
When activating the changed configuration, the first step "Initializing activation" may
take a lot of time when there are a lot of files located below the "local" hierarchy of
the site.
This is caused by a backup mechanism that is executed in this step. It saves snapshots
of your WATO configuration (not the whole site nor the whole config of the site) to
archives which are located below "var/check_mk/wato/snapshots". These can be used for
reverting the changes in the GUI and for recovery of configuration files. This is not
primarily a backup mechanism, better use the Check_MK site backup for this task.
These archives were also containing the whole local/ hierarchy. In case there are a lot
of small files or some larger files in this hierarchy, this slowed down the activation
significantly. We've decided to remove those files from the config snapshot now.

Title: Fixed HW/SW inventory marking discovered services as vanished
Component: Core & setup
Level: 1
Class: Bug fix
Version: 1.6.0i1
The service discovery (e.g. WATO service discovery page) could be
confused after the execution of the HW/SW inventory check.
When opening the service discovery page for a host with SNMP services,
the page could show still existing services as vanished.
