Notes

Client/Satellite setup
The "bottom up" client configuration mode has been deprecated. Check #13255 for additional details and migration.
Linux/Unix daemon
Ensure that Icinga 2 does not leak file descriptors to executed commands.
There are 2 processes started instead of previously just one process.
Windows client
Package bundles NSClient++ 0.5.0. ITL CheckCommands have been updated too.
Allow to configure the user account for the Icinga 2 service. This is useful if several checks require administrator permissions (e.g. check_update.exe)
Bugfixes for check plugins
Cluster and API
Provide location information for objects and templates in the API
Improve log message for ignored config updates
Fix cluster resync problem with API created objects (hosts, downtimes, etc.)
Fix that API-created objects in a global zone are not synced to child endpoints
Notifications
Several bugfixes for downtime, custom and flapping notifications
New ITL CheckCommands: logstash, glusterfs, iostats
Package builds require a compiler which supports C++11 features (gcc-c++ >= 4.7, clang++)
DB IDO
Schema upgrade required (2.6.0.sql)
This update fixes timestamp columns required by Icinga Web 2 and might take a while. Please ensure to schedule a maintenance task for your database upgrade.
