Title: New API call to control bulk discovery
Component: Multisite
Level: 1
Class: New feature
Version: 1.6.0i1
Two new web API calls have been added for the bulk discovery. The call
<tt>bulk_discovery_start</tt> has been added to start a bulk discovery for
a collection of hosts which will be executed asynchronously. The call
<tt>bulk_discovery_status</tt> can be used to get the status of such a
job.
The <tt>bulk_discovery_start</tt> call requires the <tt>hostnames</tt>
parameter to be a list of host names to execute the discovery for. It
accepts the following optional keys:
<ul>
<li>mode (default: "new")</li>
<li>use_cache (default: True)</li>
<li>do_scan (default: True)</li>
<li>bulk_size (default: 10)</li>
<li>ignore_single_check_errors (default: True)</li>
</ul>
The defaults may be customized using the global setting <i>Bulk discovery</i>.
The global setting also describes the possible options in detail.
The <tt>bulk_discovery_status</tt> call does not accept any parameter.

Title: Fixed baking of solaris packages with custom package names containing "_"
Component: agents
Level: 1
Class: Bug fix
Version: 1.6.0i1
The ruleset "Name of agent packages (Linux/UNIX)" allows customizing the name of the
RPM, DEB, PKG packages. Previous versions allowed to use underscores as parts of the
package names which broke building Solaris PKGs. Underscores are now disallowed by
the ruleset.

Title: Skip adding PING service to piggyback only hosts without IP
Component: Core & setup
Level: 1
Class: Bug fix
Version: 1.6.0i1
When a host is configured as "No agent", "No SNMP" and "No IP address"
host it is not useful to add a "PING" service to it in case there are
other services on this host because there is no address to be pinged.
This combination of tags e.g. is used by the Dynamic configuration to
create hosts that represent container objects or similar.
