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: 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.
