Hi, everyone!

We have just released M/Monit 2.3. You can download the new release from:

http://mmonit.com/download/

This new version of M/Monit sports a subtle improved user interface. New uptime reports for your hosts and services, which we hope you will like. The ability to execute a program as an alert action, in addition to email and jabber. Automatic registration of Monit credentials; when Monit registers now, it is really plug-and-play without the need to manually edit Monit hosts credentials in M/Monit. (Automatic registration of credentials can be turned off in your monitrc file, though we recommend using SSL instead with Monit and M/Monit if security is a concern).

The M/Monit manual is updated to reflect the new changes; http://mmonit.com/monit/documentation/

This release requires the new Monit 5.2 version which we also released today. To simplify things we now also provide prebuilt binaries of Monit. So you can either build Monit from source or download a binary for your system. The binaries have OpenSSL 1.0.0a static linked and support SSL without OpenSSL having to be installed on your system.
