As a continuation of the 0.8.6 series of Cacti, version 0.8.6h has been released. This version contains quite an extensive list of bug fixes and a few notable features as well. It is encouraged that all users upgrade at some point, especially since it is not susceptible to a yet to be announced security issue with ADOdb.

You are more than welcome, it was a feature that was very easy to implement. Unlike the aggregate changes......

Clean install on Win2K3 + VMware with Cacti 0.8.6h, MySQL 5.0.18, PHP 5.1.1. When running the command: mysql --user=root --password cacti < c:\inetpub\wwwroot\cacti\cacti.sql I got the following error:
ERROR 1264 (22003) at line 1857: Out of range value adjusted for column 'availability' at row 1.
On second trial got: ERROR 1050 (42S01) at line 5: Table 'cdef' already exists. Then when attempting to load the initial Cacti install page, I got: PHP has encountered an Access Violation at 01DA82DF.

There is one security issue that was addressed in 0.8.6h as a result of a recent issue discovered with ADOdb. The fix is simple, just delete your 'lib/adodb/server.php' file.
