New Features

Moved development to git and github
Continuous integration via travis-ci
Awesome universal installer - run this script to install a CMA or nanoprobe system and be happy. Will install any of the systems handling everything.
Building includes 10(!) 64-bit platforms:
- Ubuntu precise, trusty, vivid, and wily.
- Debian jessie and wheezy.
- CentOS 6 and 7.
- Fedora 21 and 22.
Added over 40 best practice rules from the IT Best Practices project. Most are security rules, but one is a networking rule. These include DISA rules for:
- PAM
- /proc/sys
- sshd
- /etc/login.defs
- many more to come in the future!
increased maximum host name length so it doesn't barf on 56-character host names(!) in travis-ci.
added the loadbp command to load best practices
perform checksums over all known checksum programs
made list of default checksum files be configurable
updated it to work with newer version of Neo4j and py2neo version 2.x
improved the process for putting out a release so that everything is consistent and is marked with the right version number.
Added discovery for /etc/sudoers
Added travis-ci and coverity badges to github site.

bug in partitions discovery agent
bug in mdadm discovery agent
fixed UnknownIPs query
removed duplicates from the allips query
discovery test failures didn't cause overall test results to be marked as failed
several discovery tests weren't quite right.

Documentation has not been updated to reflect move to github. No doubt other shortcomings exist as well. Sorry! Please fix and generate a pull request.
No alerting, or interface to existing alerting (hooks to build your own interface are included)
high availability option for the CMA is roll-your-own using Pacemaker or similar
queries could benefit from more indexes for larger installations.
The CMA will suffer performance problems when discovering IP addresses when large numbers of nanoprobes are on a subnet.
no GUI
use with recent versions of Neo4j requires disabling authentication on Neo4j
performance with Neo4j is poor. Strangely, it's not a scalability problem. Fixes will be in a future release.
Best practices alerts currently only come out in syslog - not as events. Sorry!
Our current process only allows us to distribute 64-bit binaries. Feel free to build 32-bit binaries yourself. They still work for Ubuntu, and probably Debian and 7.0 and later versions of CentOS.
The magic installer can't install CMAs onto Fedora.
