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.

Component: Checks & agents

plugin, it will try to stop the Windows process usiing the name of the plugin.
Well-known plugins are cmk-update-agent.exe, mk_logwatch.exe and mk_jolokia.exe

Title: Raw Edition: Modernize graphing system
Component: Multisite
Level: 3
Class: New feature
Version: 1.7.0i1
The Checkmk Raw Edition was using PNP4Nagios for rendering time series graphs
since it's birth. This software did a good job for years, but is way of a being
a state of the art system.
To improve the user experience of all our Raw Edition users, we decided to make
the basic parts of the Checkmk Enterprise graphing system available to all our
users.
The parts of the graphing system that are included with the Raw Edition ship
the same features as the previous system did. More advanced features, like the
combined, forecast and custom graphs are still only usable by our Enterprise
and Managed Services Edition users.
