ldms_client has picked up a few new tricks, particularly for the Dell shops. Version 2.4.5 adds code to detect the system hardware, so that DCCU will not be run on non-Dell machines. This version also reports on the number of crashes a workstation has enjoyed over the last seven days, so you can get some early warning (or refute your user's claim that it's crashed a dozen times since Friday... see? only 11 crashes).

I'm also splitting Mac support back out of the main package, so that everyone doesn't have to download it. This is preparatory to removing Macintosh support altogether... I just don't like working on Macs, and I haven't updated ldms_client_mac since July of 2008. If anyone would like to take over this section of ldms_client or wants some help doing their own inventory extension, you know where to find me.

The ldms_client_core UI is getting unwieldy and will be using tabs in the near future. I'm also starting to toy with a wild-card-capable registry reader, which would allow for some of those recursive tricks like mounted PSTs and mapped network printers.
