Failure to do so will result in new data not being stored.

  • There is a new parameter that can be used to extract asset information for use in events and notices. The parameter %asset[fieldname]% will look up the field in the assets table represented by "fieldname" for the nodeid in the event. For example: %asset[description]% will return the description field. If a field is empty or not available it will return "Unknown". (Bug #2465)
  • A full list of bugs fixed in the release can be found in bugzilla.
