Title: Extension packages: Checkmk can now ship optional packages
Component: Core & setup
Level: 1
Class: New feature
Version: 1.7.0i1
Checkmk can now ship optional extension packages. This feature has been introduced to
be able to provide feature previews in stable versions. Instead of introducing backported
features for all users, we can now create backports, pack them into optional extension
packages. Each user can then decide to install the package or not.
After installation these packages are treated exactly like manually uploaded
extension packages and can be removed in the same way.
Enterprise Edition users can install the optional extension packages using the dialog
"WATO > Extension packages". Raw Edition users can find optional extension packages
in the path <tt>share/check_mk/optional_packages</tt> once we ship those packages.
At the moment there is no such package shipped with Checkmk. The first optional
extension packages may be added to Checkmk 1.6 in the next weeks.

Title: mk_redis: Agent plugin for Redis databases
Component: Checks & agents
Level: 1
Class: New feature
Version: 1.7.0i1
This plugin gathers the output of the "info" command of redis-cli. You can
define the Redis instances to query via an optional config file. The instances
names configured within REDIS_INSTANCES define the service description of the
resulting checks. If no config file is given, the plugin detects the running
Redis instances and HOST:PORT is used for the service description.
F+:/etc/check_mk/mk_redis.cfg
REDIS_INSTANCES=(My_First_Redis My_Second_Redis)
REDIS_HOST_My_First_Redis="127.0.0.1"
REDIS_PORT_My_First_Redis="6380"
REDIS_PASSWORD_My_First_Redis='MYPASSWORD'
REDIS_HOST_My_Second_Redis="127.0.0.1"
REDIS_PORT_My_Second_Redis="6379"

Title: Linux agent: Fix possible encoding issues of Python plugins
Component: Checks & agents
Level: 1
Class: Bug fix
Version: 1.7.0i1
In previous versions the agent was not setting the encoding information in the
environment, making Python plugins fail with <tt>UnicodeEncodeError</tt>
exceptions when executed through the agent.
Confusingly, the same command has often worked in interactive debugging, since
the interactive shells of the users have set the encoding correctly
The Linux agent is now setting <tt>LC_ALL</tt> to C.utf8 (in case the locale is
available on the monitored system) instead of only <tt>LC_ALL=C</tt>.
When the encoding is not set in the environment, Python will encode all the output
written to stdout/stderr with <tt>ANSI_X3.4-1968</tt>. This will fail when there
are non-ASCII characters in the output. Once the encoding is set, Python can detect
it and encode all output using UTF-8.

Title: Fixed incorrect processing of SNMP datasource configuration
Component: WATO
Level: 2
Class: Bug fix
Version: 1.7.0i1
Due to an incorrect old configuration conversion routine the snmp datasource setting for a host was incorrectly set/reset to <tt>No SNMP<tt>.
This could be observed on the edit host page, for example. It only applied to hosts where the agent tag group was explicitly set.
This incorrectly transformed snmp setting was written back to disk, when the host itself was saved or when there were any changes made in the host tags configuration.
Changes in the host tag configuration had a greater impact because they forced a complete rewrite of all host configurations.
