For Spong 2.7.7

NEW FEATURES 

TCP Wrappers

Spong Server can now use TCP Wrapper. You can control systems have access to
the different services that Spong Server listens to. If the Authen::Libwrap
module is installed then Spong Server will automattically use it.

New module API for Spong Server

    Spong Server now has a new plugin modue API. There are two now module types
predata and postdata. Predata modules are run before normal processing is done.
Postdata modules are run after processing. 

    Messages are passed to the modules are passed as hashes. This simplifies
the API and make it more flexible. And finally all message formats are send to
each module: status, ack and del-ack.

IMPROVED FEATURES

Spong Network - http module

    The check method (i.e. GET, HEAD) can be specified in the URI line.

Spong Client - vmstat module

    This is a new partially implemented module (only for works in Linux, AIX,
Solaris and TruUnix64/OSF1). It runs vmstat on the local machine and sends the
data to the Spong Server.  It's designed to work with the latest version of
Spong RRD. The data is stored in RRD databases for System Charts.  There are
no parameter check as yet.

Spong Client - logs module

    A new exclude_pattern field has ben added to the logmon check. Log file
entries can now be filtered more precisely.

Spong Client - disk module

    Coding for the @DFIGNORE field has been changed to allow slashes '/' to be
specified in the regular expressions.

Spong Message

    Two new features to make sending HTML mail easier.

    There is a new output fields for message templates, DETAILEDHTML. It's the
detail message field of a status mesage that has been HTML'ize to preserve 
the ascii formatting.

And the built in email() function now detects if HTML is present in the body
fields. If present is will add a 'Content-Type: text/html' header to the 
e-mail message.
