Title: Globes in dashboards now correctly reflect selected WATO folder
Component: Multisite
Level: 2
Class: Bug Fix
Version: 1.2.9i1
The bug was that they always showed the stats of all hosts, not just
of the selected folder (if you are using the {{Folders}} snapin).

Title: linux and windows agent can now be configured to directly encrypt their output. For real-time updates encryption is now optional (but active per default)
Component: Core & Setup
Level: 2
Class: New Feature
Version: 1.2.9i1
This feature can be configured through Host&Service Parameters -> Access to agents -> Encryption.
When "Encryption for Agents" is set to "enforce" or "enable", two things will happen:
a) Baked windows or linux agents will be configured to encrypt their output
b) check_mk will be configured to try to decrypt output from agents. In case of "enable" it will
also accept unencrypted output, in case of "enforce" it won't.
This change also affects real-time updates as these were already encrypted.
The passphrase configured for real-time updates will now only serve as a default, agents with
"Encryption" configured will use the same passphrase for rt and regular updates.
Finally, it is now also possible to configure real-time updates to be unencrypted.
All encryption happens with AES using 256bit keys and cbc.
The above is completely optional, the default behaviour for everything (including real-time updates)
is compatible with previous versions.

Title: HW/SW-Inventory service can now be OK in case of unreachable host
Component: HW/SW-Inventory
Level: 2
Class: New Feature
Version: 1.2.9i1
The active check for performing the HW/SW-inventory used to always take the
WARN state if the inventory cannot be done (mostly because the target host
was down). This can now be set other states as well. Set this to OK if you
inventorized workstations that are allowed to be switched off. This setting
is in the rule set {{Do hardware/software Inventory}}.
