Release of Cacti 1.2.25

Thank you everyone who are using Cacti and especially those helping to make Cacti better!

For additional details check out the README located on GitHub.

Following on from our previous release, Cacti has been receiving extra eyes across the code base. This has meant a delay in the release of 1.2.25 as we work with various parties to improve Cacti and provide better protection from potential malicious actors.

Windows users can find a beta version of the latest Windows installer via our forum thread http://forums.cacti.net/viewtopic.php?p=292797#p292797 which will be updated as the beta is updated. There has been a major re-working of the installer including having Apache installed using the Windows Service Virtual Account to help improve security, and updated versions of PHP, RRDtool, Net-SNMP. It also introduces a change from MySQL to MariaDB as the default database engine that is installed.

As we focus more work on trying to get 1.3 ready for testing, we have also added extra device packages that can be installed during the normal web installer, or added manually afterwards (see the install/packages folder).
