Title: kernel.performance: New kernel performance check that consolidates kernel checks into one service
Component: Checks & agents
Level: 1
Class: New feature
Version: 1.7.0i1
There is a new service named 'Kernel Performance'. The three services for kernel checks of 'Context Switches', 'Major Page Faults' and 'Process Creation' get combined into this one service.
This reduces the service count by two services. The history of performance data for these three services get lost.

Title: Still allow working with old customized builtin tag groups
Component: WATO
Level: 1
Class: Bug fix
Version: 1.7.0i1
With 1.4 some sample config tag groups have been changed to be "builtin"
tag groups. A prominent one is the "agent" tag group. Previous 1.6 releases
totally disallowed saving tag configs in case such a tag group was present.
To make the migration easier, the validation is now less strict for the 1.6.
It is possible to keep the old builtin tag group until updating to 1.7. With
1.7 these tag groups will not be usable anymore and have to be migrated.

Title: Warn about editing rules which conditions are not valid anymore
Component: WATO
Level: 1
Class: Bug fix
Version: 1.7.0i1
When a rule is opened for editing and an the rule edit dialog detected
an invalid previous value, it prints a warning message about this to
the user.
The same is now done for the rule conditions. In case e.g. a rule refers
to a tag group or tag that does not exist (anymore) in the current WATO
configuration, the dialog shows a warning message instead of silently
dropping the invalid option as it was done before.

Title: Windows Agent supports async local plugins with cache_age
Component: Checks & agents
Level: 1
Class: New feature
Version: 1.6.0b7
Now Windows Agent adds to the output from the local plugin the string
with cache information if the local plugin has cache_age property set
in configuration file.
Thus, the Windows Agent now fully supports the improvements made in the
werk 7402 also for local plugins running asynchronously.

Level: 1
Class: New feature
Version: 1.6.0b9

packaged agent, then nothing happens.

Title: Fixed rare crash when a plugin should be terminated
Component: Checks & agents
Level: 1
Class: Bug fix
Version: 1.6.0b8
Previously, in the process of terminating of the hanging plugins,
the Windows Agent could accidentally destroy an important process,
thus causing BSOD.
Since then, the Agent uses a safe algorithm to terminate plugins.

Title: Plug-in configuration is correctly processed by the agent
Component: Checks & agents
Level: 1
Class: Bug fix
Version: 1.6.0b8
Previously, Windows Agent processed the plugin configuration
using the approach: the first rule wins.
Thus, each plugin can only use one rule for its configuration.
>From now on, the Windows Agent agent applies all the rules to each plugin,
provided that the rule file name pattern matches with the plugin name.

Title: The Windows Agent service loads correct configuration
Component: Checks & agents
Level: 1
Class: Bug fix
Version: 1.6.0b9
Previously, after installation from MSI, the Windows Agent service loaded
its own configuration too early, thus loading the default(fabric) configuration,
ignoring bakery configuration.
To use the configuration provided by bakery, you should restart the service
manually.
Since now Windows Agent loads the configuration only after updating the
Legacy Agent configuration and after installing the Bakery configuration.
