Title: Fix performance issue when many BI aggregations are active
Component: Multisite
Level: 2
Class: Bug Fix
Version: 1.2.9i1
If you have created 1000 or more aggregations and show a view with many
hosts or services than you could get massive performance and memory problems
in your Apache process. The reason is the computation of the BI icon in the
drop down menus of hosts and services. This was only done in order to
check the visibility of the menu itself. The menu is now always visible
and thus the computation is not longer neccessary.

Title: Availability: Annotations can now be used to reclassify the scheduled downtime status
Component: Reporting & Availability
Level: 2
Class: New Feature
Version: 1.2.9i1
The availability computation of hosts and services now allows to use the
existing {{Annotations}} in order to reclassify the annotated periods as
having been in scheduled downtime or even as not having been in scheduled
downtime. That way you can fix your figures in case one has forgotten to enter
a scheduled downtime in the past or in the case that scheduled downtimes
were just used in order to disable notifications (but the breakdown was in
fact real and not scheduled).
Availability of BI aggregations currently does not support annotations or any
reclassifications. Neither does it honor reclassifications in the underlying
host and service history.

Title: Default cloned views to be not public
Component: Multisite
Level: 2
Class: New Feature
Version: 1.2.9i1
If you create a view as a clone from an existing view than the new view
defaults <b>not</b> to be public. Previously the public-flag was cloned
as well. That could lead into trouble by an admin overriding the views of
others by that way.

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}}.

Title: MKP: local/lib and local/bin of sites can now be packed
Component: Core & Setup
Level: 2
Class: New Feature
Version: 1.2.9i1
The MKP packages can now pack files located below local/lib and local/bin
of Check_MK sites.
When you are using a manual installation of Check_MK (setup.sh), the lib and
bin files shipped with MKP packages are not installed. You can also not pack
such files into MKPs.

Title: Fixed vanished snmp subchecks for snmp hosts
Component: Checks & Agents
Level: 2
Class: Bug Fix
Version: 1.2.9i1
SNMP subchecks for snmp hosts did not work when the host did not have the host tag 'snmp'.
