CanIt 4.1 Released
MAJOR NEW FEATURE: Users can configure an RSS feed of pending incidents. This allows you to use your favourite RSS feed reader to monitor your trap.
MAJOR IMPROVEMENT: Pending notifications are only sent out if there are new pending messages. Also, you can configure notifications to be submittable forms; this allows you to accept or reject messages directly from your e-mail client without having to authenticate with CanIt.
IMPROVEMENT: You can restrict the days on which Pending Notifications are sent. (You can skip them on weekends, for example.)
IMPROVEMENT: We use the creation date of an incident when logging it in the statistics tables rather than the resolution date. However, pending incidents that are resolved some time after they are created appear only in daily statistics, not hourly statistics.
NEW FEATURE: You can set the full name for the source of CanIt notifications.
IMPROVEMENT: CanIt can be disabled for maintenance from the Web interface. You no longer have to create /etc/mail/canit/disabled on all machines.
POLICY CHANGE: We have disabled all spamhaus.org DNS-based RBLs. Spamhaus is becoming more adamant about enforcing its terms-of-use; if you wish to use Spamhaus-based tests and do not qualify for free use of the RBLs, please arrange directly with Spamhaus for a data feed contract.
POLICY CHANGE:We have removed the Sendmail domain-mapping method. The upgrade script replaces it with a Program method for backward-compatibility.
PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENT: Marking old incidents as spam has been moved out of the cron job into a ticker task that can operate more leisurely.
PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENT: If a stream has too little Bayes training, we don't use that stream's training database. (Before, we'd add the database totals together and if the total was large enough, we would use all the data.) This greatly improves performance on sites with many streams where most of the streams have little Bayes data.
IMPROVEMENT: Log the IP address of HTTP clients in incident logs.
IMPROVEMENT: The site administrator can temporarily disable pending notifications.
SECURITY IMPROVEMENT (CanIt-Domain-PRO only): Only the super-root can create "Program" or "Program_Legacy" user-lookups.
GUI IMPROVEMENT: The GUI prompts for confirmation before deleting
~ rules, users, etc.
