Title: Host contact groups were not inherited to services
Component: Notifications
Level: 1
Class: Bug fix
Version: 1.7.0i1
The contact groups of hosts in the raw edition were not inherited
to services. Instead the contact groups of services were always
added to the nagios configuration. As a result no notifications
were sent if only contact groups for hosts were defined.

Title: DCD: Add host deletion grace time after site initialization
Component: Core & setup
Level: 1
Class: New feature
Version: 1.7.0i1
The hosts created with the DCD are based on the piggyback data produced by a
source host.
This piggyback data is stored in Checkmk sites in a temporary directory below
<tt>tmp/check_mk/piggyback*</tt>. This temporary directory is initialized
during the first startup of a site after the Checkmk host was booted. From the
initialization to the first contact with the source host, the piggyback data is
missing and could lead to host being removed by the DCD accidentally.
To prevent this, the DCD connections got a new mandatory configuration option
"Prevent host deletion right after initialization". It is used to configure the
duration where no host is deleted after the site (tmpfs) initialization.
It defaults to 10 minutes, which should be enough for the piggyback sources to
produce the needed data.

Title: Jenkins: New special agent to query jenkins instances
Component: Checks & agents
Level: 2
Class: New feature

Special agent to monitor job and build states of a jenkins instance. Beside
the state of the job it gives informations about the job score and the time
since the last successful build. It also outputs informations about the last

result.
For performance reasons, the number of recognized jobs is limited to three
nested folder levels.

Title: Docker: Fix GUI redirects (1.6 regression)
Component: Core & setup
Level: 1
Class: Bug fix
Version: 1.7.0i1
When directly using the GUI of the official Checkmk docker container without a reverse proxy
in front of it, the redirects of URLs like <tt>http://[address]/cmk</tt> were not working in
the previous 1.6 releases.
The redirects have now been fixed. In addition we have now added a new redirect from the top
level URL <tt>http://[address]/</tt> which redirects the user to the GUI.
