Title: agent_prometheus: addition of kube-state-metrics compatibility
Component: Checks & agents
Level: 1
Class: New feature
Version: 1.7.0i1
This change introduces the kube-state-metrics package into the Prometheus
agent. It allows to monitor the connected Kubernetes cluster and associating
entities through the Prometheus connection. This monitoring option along with
selection of the entity levels can be configured in the Prometheus Datasource
Programs ruleset. The queried information uses the same k8 check-plugins as
the native Kubernetes agent. Information about the cluster, nodes, pods, daemon
sets and services can be retrieved through this option.

Title: The output formats "python" and "python3" are now explicit about string types.
Component: Livestatus
Level: 2
Class: New feature
Version: 1.7.0i1
To ease the Python 2 => Python 3 transition, Livestatus is now very explicit
about string types when using the "python" and "python3" output formats: All
binary strings have a "b" prefix now, and all unicode strings have a "u"
prefix. This makes both formats effectively identical.
If you don't use either format in your scripts or use a Python version >= 2.6,
you don't have to change anything. If you still use Python <= 2.5 (which
doesn't undestand the "b" prefix), please upgrade. Note that these Python
versions have an EOL in 2011 or before, so this shouldn't be a problem in
practice.

Title: Fix different issues with hosts created via Web API using JSON
Component: WATO
Level: 1
Class: Bug fix
Version: 1.7.0i1
When hosts are created using the Web API with data structures in JSON format,
configuring these hosts could lead to problems in different situations.
One example is that configuration rules that are created explicitly for such
a host can not be loaded for editing. One often used feature is creating
"ad hoc" disabled services rules on the service discovery page. These rules
lead to an error message "Unable to read current conditions of this rule. Falling back to default values."
when trying to edit the created rule.
This issue has been fixed. Starting with the 1.6.0p10 the hosts are initially
correctly saved. Existing host and rule configurations will be fixed during
the update to 1.6.0p10.

Title: Fix bug where scheduler would become inactive
Component: Core & setup
Level: 1
Class: Bug fix
Version: 1.7.0i1
Certain configurations let CMC schedule jobs with invalid
timestamps. These jobs would never be scheduled and let
the schedulers in a nonoperating state, resulting in
stale hosts and services.
