 +==== Enhancement ====
 +</WRAP>
 +
 +=== Job parameter handling ===
 +<WRAP indent>
 +Added transparent handling of the job variables set in the [parameter] and [scenario] sections of
 +each command-job. The [parameter] variables are defined at job-submission while the scenario variables
 +are assigned at run-time resulting in confusing results and scenario command syntaxes.
 +By extending parameter substitution to a two-pass operation, the parameter handling has been made
 +mostly transparent.
 +
 +</WRAP>
 +
 +=== OS Upgrade Frontend ===
 +<WRAP indent>
 +Some Vendors do not support OS Upgrades yet, yet the frontend made it seem like they did. 
 +The frontend now shows it clearly when a Node's vendor type isn't supported yet. 
 +
 +</WRAP>
 +
 +=== Port Missing Template Message ===
 +<WRAP indent>
 +In the switchportconfig form, whenever a port lacks a template, a popup now appears to warn the user. 
 +
 +</WRAP>
 +
 +=== GNS3/IOU telnet support ===
 +<WRAP indent>
 +The simulated Cisco devices under GNS3 generated login prompts with additional characters
 +preventing login using Telnet. Adding a special case to detect these unclean prompts and evoking
 +a new prompt resolved this issue.
 +
 +</WRAP>
 +
 +=== Cramer Deltas ===
 +<WRAP indent>
 +Part 1 of cramer deltas, comparing cramer output to netyce data. 
 +A check for deleted nodes in Cramer has also been added.
 +
 +</WRAP>
 +
 +=== Tweak 'Allow_topo_multipoint' ===
 +<WRAP indent>
 +The front-end and the Service-types do not allow a device port to have multiple topology connections
 +sice they are point-to-point by nature.
 +However, for migration purposes a feature to selectively allow multiple links per port is desirable.
 +For this purpose the Lookup tweak 'Allow_topo_multipoint' is added that can allow or deny this
 +behaviour per Client-type. The default denies it for all Client-types conform existing policies.
 +A tweak record with this name can be added for each Client-type, overruling this setting using
 +the Num value.

 +==== Change ====
 +</WRAP>
 +
 +=== Tasker logging ===
 +<WRAP indent>
 +The tasker logs for an assignment always consisted out of two or three lines. This is now condensed into one line. 
 +
 +</WRAP>
 +
 +=== User groups client level dropdown ===
 +<WRAP indent>
 +Moved the client level dropdown in the user groups form to a better place.
 +
 +</WRAP>
 +
 +=== Template remark field ===
 +<WRAP indent>
 +Changed Scenario, Stored Job, Template and Template Revision Description size from 50 to 200 characters. 
 +
 +</WRAP>
 +
 +=== Scenario conversion ===
 +<WRAP indent>
 +Version 7.0 uses different command names and options in its scenarios. Existing scenarios are
 +converted automatically although the old name and options are still supported.
 +
 +</WRAP>
 +
 +=== Service Class Sort ===
 +<WRAP indent>
 +Service classes in site types are now sorted by Hid
 +</WRAP>
 +
 +=== Task-logs form ===
 +<WRAP indent>
 +The Task-id's can exceed 9999 jobs per day. An when they do, the form sorted them alphabetically 
 +so that newer jobs appeared hundreds of pages lower than expected. The form also did not have an 
 +option to filter or search by Task_id.
 +The sort order has been revised to deal with these large Task-ids and a search facility has been added.
 +The Timestamp column has been widened to show the full date and time.
 +
 +</WRAP>
 +
 +
 +\\ 
 +<WRAP widths 60% box safety>
 +==== Fix ====
 +</WRAP>
 +
 +=== Net::IP Warning ===
 +<WRAP indent>
 +Fixes the issue where any file that includes Common gave a list of warnings from the Net::IP module. 
 +Overloaded the library Net::IP file with our own modified version.
 +
 +</WRAP>
 +
 +=== Service-type Custom subnet attribute ===
 +<WRAP indent>
 +Assigning a custom subnets network address and/or network prefix failed when using
 +the service-type: ASSIGN-SUBNET-attribute. This has been corrected. 
 +The net_address value supplied can now also include the prefix (address/prefix).
 +
 +</WRAP>
 +
 +=== Site relation update ===
 +<WRAP indent>
 +The 'Site' relation would show all sites corresponding to the SiteCode, regardless of ClientCode.
 +This has been corrected by updating the 'Site' relation.
 +
 +</WRAP>
 +
 +=== Vendor Module fix ===
 +<WRAP indent>
 +Fixed a patch with a typo in its sql statement, failing to create state actions for Avaya VSP
 +Added v7 functions to the Huawei module
 +
 +</WRAP>
 +
 +=== Ports not displayed ===
 +<WRAP indent>
 +Ports with an invalid port-template were not displayed. This is now fixed along with a popup
 +to inform the user which ports must have their port-templates revised
 +
 +</WRAP>
 +
 +=== Service Class Permissions ===
 +<WRAP indent>
 +Fixed bug where you cannot create, edit and delete service classes. 
 +
 +</WRAP>
 +
 +=== HP_C5 OS Upgrades ===
 +<WRAP indent>
 +Added OS Upgrade Support for HP_C5. Warning: still experimental so may experience bugs. Please contact NetYCE when encountering one. 
 +Fixed squeeze issue in Cisco IOS
 +
 +</WRAP>
 +
 +=== API IPv4 or dual stack support ===
 +<WRAP indent>
 +The 'yce_xch' API daemon supported IPv6 in a dual-stack environment. However, when only IPv4 is
 +available, the API failed to start. The ipv4-only or dual-stack support is now configured dynamically.
 +
 +</WRAP>
 +
 +=== HP_C7 OS Upgrades ===
 +<WRAP indent>
 +Added OS Upgrade Support for HP_C7. Warning: still experimental so may experience bugs. Please contact NetYCE when encountering one. 
 +
 +</WRAP>
 +
 +=== Cisco_Nexus OS Upgrades ===
 +<WRAP indent>
 +Added OS Upgrade Support for Cisco_Nexus. Warning: still experimental so may experience bugs. Please contact NetYCE when encountering one. 
 +
 +</WRAP>
 +
 +=== Cisco_XR OS Upgrades ===
 +<WRAP indent>
 +Added OS Upgrade Support for Cisco_XR. Warning: still experimental so may experience bugs. Please contact NetYCE when encountering one. 
 +
 +</WRAP>
 +
 +=== Huawei OS Upgrades ===
 +<WRAP indent>
 +Added OS Upgrade Support for Huawei. Warning: still experimental so may experience bugs. Please contact NetYCE when encountering one. 
 +
 +</WRAP>
 +
 +=== Domain Create Network ===
 +<WRAP indent>
 +Fixed the issue where clicking on the create button of the domain networks form redirects you to a totally different form. 
 +
 +</WRAP>
 +
 +=== Forever 'Running' jobs ===
 +<WRAP indent>
 +Jobs hat were stopped or failed to finish properly were reported the be 'running' forever.
 +Now, every five minutes the running jobs are examined and if dead are changed to the 'aborted' state.
 +
 +</WRAP>
 +
 +=== Command parsing template bug ===
 +<WRAP indent>
 +Fixes an issue where command parsing templates are not selected properly
 +
 +</WRAP>
 +
 +=== IPv4 Plan Delete bug ===
 +<WRAP indent>
 +IPv4 Plans can now be deleted again.
 +
 +</WRAP>
 +
 +=== Multiple command-jobs ===
 +<WRAP indent>
 +Command-jobs issued for various nodes at the same time were using the same nodename for <node>.
 +This issue was introduced after making the variable substitution in jobs more intuitive and transparent.
 +
 +</WRAP>
 +
 +=== Client Type Variable Client Level ===
 +<WRAP indent>
 +Support was built in for adding client types with variable client levels to user groups, in the
 +user groups form previously. Now the same support is implemented in the client types form. 
 +
 +</WRAP>
 +
 +=== Cisco-IOS ssh support ===
 +<WRAP indent>
 +A bug was introduced forcing Telnet as the communication protocol on all the Cisco-IOS devices.
 +This was corrected so that ssh is the preferred and telnet the backup protocol.
 +
 +</WRAP>
 +
 +=== Tasker Fix ===
 +<WRAP indent>
 +A bug was encountered when processing the data from config parsing due to treating an array 
 +reference as a hash reference. This is now fixed. 
 +
 +</WRAP>
 +
 +=== NCCM logging failure messages ===
 +<WRAP indent>
 +The NCCM logging will show "Failed to open job log: Permission denied" messages. Normally
 +each job will log into their own jobID-based log-files, but for NCCM the level of logging is reduced
 +and centralized. The error message was caused by trying to create a detailed log to an unavailable
 +job path. Setting the proper conditional resolved this issue.
 +
 +</WRAP>
 +
 +=== NCCM logging ===
 +<WRAP indent>
 +The NCCM log file (yce_nccmd.log) was found to be growing very quickly in a busy environment.
 +By making much of the detailed logging dependent on the general NetYCE debugging flag 
 +(~/etc/yce_debug), the default logging is now reduced to the daemon, the pollers and the polling
 +result statuses.
 +
 +</WRAP>
 +
 +=== Regions bug ===
 +<WRAP indent>
 +Fixed a bug that prevented editing region names.
 +</WRAP>
 +
 +=== Subnet plan bug ===
 +<WRAP indent>
 +Fixes the bug that prevented you from editing IP subnet plans
 +</WRAP>
 +
 +=== Command parse fix ===
 +<WRAP indent>
 +Fixed a command parsing bug where complex command results weren't parsed properly. 
 +
 +</WRAP>
 +
 +=== Slow NCCM Config-diffs form ===
 +<WRAP indent>
 +The default filter of the 'Operate - NCCM - Config diffs' tool is blank. To limit the time 
 +waiting for a report that probably would need a filter, only the top 200 nodes in the NCCM 
 +repository were shown.
 +However, in larger environments, this time was still considerable. The report fortunately allowed 
 +for some optimizations so that the initial report will require minimal time.
 +
 +</WRAP>
 +
 +=== HP_C7 trying to run dir command in privileged mode ===
 +<WRAP indent>
 +HP_C7 doesnt allow the 'dir' command to be executed in privileged mode, this fix makes sure 
 +this cannot happen anymore, ensuring usable output from the 'dir' command.
 +
 +</WRAP>
 +
 +=== Nccm debug logging ===
 +<WRAP indent>
 +The yce_nccm_debug.log file was receiving very large amounts of log data regardless of
 +the debug or development flags. This behaviour is now keyed to the yce_development flag
 +file.
 +
 +</WRAP>
 +
 +=== Relaunching disabled or 'ignored' daemons ===
 +<WRAP indent>
 +The yce_setup.pl completed by relaunching the various daemons. It did so regardless of disabled
 +status or the ignore-flag being set. The 'relaunch' script now takes these and other factors in
 +consideration when relaunching a daemon or binging 'down' and 'up' all daemons.
 +
 +</WRAP>
 +
 +=== Infoblox ipam/dns report ===
 +<WRAP indent>
 +The Infobox reports for  DNS and IPAM now have support to define the network-view. 
 +And, to allow legacy requests without the network_view attribute, a default
 +could be specified. The issue was however, that an obsolete variable was used as the 
 +default resulting in an empty report. An error message clarifying the missing view was absent.
 +The correct defaults are used nowi and error messages issued.
 +
 +</WRAP>
 +
 +=== Region relation failed ===
 +<WRAP indent>
 +The 'Region' relation did not show the expected results. The Relation query was updated to include the 
 +custom attributes, but incomplete. The resulting values did often belong to a different region.
 +The relation query was updated to fix this issue.
 +
 +</WRAP>
 +
 +=== Node rename check ===
 +<WRAP indent>
 +When renaming a node with the Tweak 'Change_hostname' enabled, no checks were performed to verify
 +the new hostname was not in use. The rename would so result in database objects to become unrelated.
 +
 +Renaming a node to an existing name will now result in a popup indicating the name clash.
 +
