Title: check_dns: Act case-insensitive
Component: Checks & agents
Level: 1
Class: Bug fix
Version: 1.7.0i1

means, it marks answers as CRITICAL, when for instance the hostname in check-mk
is lowercase and the answer comes as uppercase.
This has been fixed.

Title: Pipe symbols in notifications are no longer replaced by a light vertical bar
Component: Notifications
Level: 1
Class: Bug fix
Version: 1.7.0i1
If a check output contains pipe characters they are replaced by
"Light vertical bars" (U+2758) before a check result is submitted
to the monitoring core. This characters were not replaced by pipe
characters again before a notification was send. This may result
in cryptic output in systems that cannot display the light
vertical bar.
Now the "Light vertical bar" character is converted back to a
pipe character before notifications are send.

Title: Network interfaces: Handle illegal description/alias characters differently
Component: Checks & agents
Level: 1
Class: Bug fix
Version: 1.7.0i1
The removal of illegal characters from interface descriptions and aliases is now handled consistently.
Some services may go to UNKNOWN for users who have configured the use of descriptions or aliases in
the service description.
This will only happen if the interface desription or alias did indeed contain one of the
characters <pre>`;~!$%^&*|\'"<>?,()=</pre>.
If this is the case, please perform a rediscovery. For every affected interface you will be informed
of one vanished an one new service by the same name. Performance data will not be lost.
