Fixed issues and related features

• You can find issues and feature requests related to this release on our
  roadmap

Service Sets

• You are now allowed to create sets of services and assign all of them at
  once with an apply rule
• Sets can be assigned to host templates or directly to single hosts

Service Variable Overrides

• When switching to a host view's services tab, you'll now not only see its
  very own services, but also ones that result from an apply rule
• You can override those services custom field values for every single host
• Same goes for services belonging to Service Sets

Apply rules

• A new "contains" operator gives more possibilities when working with arrays
• Service vars are now also offered in the apply rule form wizard

Custom Variables and Fields

• Issues with special characters in custom variables have been fixed
• In case mandatory fields should not have been enforced, this should work
  fine right now
• Fields can now be shown based on filter rules. Example use case: show a
  Community String field in case SNMPv2 has been selected, but show
  five other fields for SNMPv3. This allows one to build powerful little
  wizard-like forms like shown here

Agents and Satellites

• It is now possible to set Agent and Zone settings on every single host. This
  means that you no longer need to provide dedicated Templates for Satellite
  nodes
• The proposed Agent Deployment script has been improved for Windows and Linux
• Infrastructure management got a dedicated dashboard
• Kickstart Wizard helps when working with Satellites. This has formerly been
  a hidden, now it can be accessed through the Infrastructure dashboard

Commands

• Command arguments are now always appended when inheriting a template. This
  slightly changes the former behavior, but should mostly be what one would
  expect anyways.

Testing

• Testing instructions have been improved
• Running the test suite has been simplified
• While we keep running our own tests on software platforms, tests
  are now also visible on Travis-CI and triggered for all pull requests

Compatibility

• We worked around a bug in very old PHP 5.3 versions on CentOS 6

Activity log

• You can now search and filter in the Activity log
• In case you have hundreds of thousands of changes you'll notice that pagination
  performance improve a lot
• A quick-filter allows you to see just your very own changes with a single click

Deployment

• More performance tweaking took place. 1.2.0 was already very fast, 1.3.0 should
  beat it
• Deployment log got better at detecting files and linking them directly from the
  log output, in case any error occured

Work related to Icinga 1.x

• Deploying to Icinga 1.x is completely unsupported. However, it works and a
  lot of effort has been put into this feature, so it should be mentioned here
• Please note that the Icinga Director has not been designed to deploy legacy
  1.x configuration. This is a sponsored feature for a larger migration project
  and has therefore been built in a very opinionated way. You shouldn't even
  try to use it. And if so, you're on your own. Nobody will help you when
  running into trouble

Translation

• German translation is now again at 100%

REST API

• Issues related to fetching object lists have been fixed

Integrations

• We now hook into the Cube
  module, this gives one more possibility to benefit from our multi-edit feature
• Icinga Web 2.4 caused some minor issues for 1.2.0. It works, but an upgrade to
  Director 1.3.0 is strongly suggested
