Remstats was written by Thomas Erskine at the CRC in Canada and now looking for work.

• All the collectors are skipping some of alternate updates. This is because the code to tell if it's time to collect isn't quite right. For now, I've enabled the -F for all collectors in config-base/run-stages/collectors. If you've made changes or copies of this, you need to make this update, for now.

• Alert quench (in alert.cgi) doesn't work, on purpose now. It's related to splitting access for the webgroup group. I'll make it work again later.
• Similarly, the log-event.cgi CGI script doesn't work now.
• Every now and then, I get error messages from the alert-monitor saying that there were no destinations for an alert. The message needs to be improved so that people (myself included) can figure out what's wrong and how to fix it.

• Alerts in general - The alerts shown by the alerts.cgi page never get expired. [FIXED <1.0.12b]
• If a hub is down, then you'll get alerts for everything behind it. Ought to only get the alert for the hub.

• CGI scripts don't work with non-default config-dirs. I consider this a bug, but I need to get this release out now to deal with serious installation problems with previous releases. For now, do the following for each config-dir:

  	% make install-cgis CONFIGDIR=/wherever/you/put/it

  Unless someone else suggests an acceptable fix, or I have a an inspiration, this isn't going to be fixed. With both the new page-writer and run-remstats2, there are fewer reasons to need this. [ACCEPTED 1.0.12b]

• run-remstats only checks the config-dir for change, not the subdirectories. For now, just touch config-dir whenever you make a change. [FIXED <1.0.12b]
• customgraphs are completely broken. Urgh. Upgrade. [FIXED in 0.12.2]
• You can't have two graphs of the same name, even in different rrd definitions. This is just flat-out wrong and will be fixed. Unfortunately, the fix will mean even longer file-names, so I hope nobody has some old system with the 14-character limit. [FIXED in 0.12.2]
• graphs with descriptions can't have quotes in the description. [FIXED in 0.12.2]
