custodian (0.8-5) stable; urgency=low
* When sending alerts via Mauve the ID of the alert must be unique,
per-source. We thought we'd achieved this by using the input line
from the parser, but sadly there is a 255 character limit.
Use the SHA1 hash of the input to satisfy both constraints.

custodian (0.3-1) stable; urgency=low
* Added a new alerter-type, "redis", which will not raise any
alerts itself, just store the state of all tests in a redis
queue. This can be used to build a status-panel, or similar.

* Many service probes read a banner from a remote server, and then test it
is sane. For example looking for "ssh", or "smtp" in the string we read.
Ensure we read a string prior to testing for a given response.
* Avoid potential shell-injection attacks against HTTP probes.
