These are release notes for Spong 2.7.6. There are a few new goodies in this 
release along with a bunch of minor bug fixes. Also with this release I'm 
switching the format of the Change log.

 It's tedious keeping the CHANGES file manually updated along with CVS commits.
So I have decided to use the CVS log as the new Change Log. Any additional
commentary or notes will be in the RELEASE notes file.

The major new change are a new safe_exec Perl module for executing external 
programs. The new module has better cleanup routines. It will do a long way
to prevent zombies and hung processes.

Another change is the spong-server data_rrd_disk plugin module can now handle
NT clients. No changes are needed. The new plugin module will recognize the 
spong-nt-client update and create the RRD databases. Just rerun the spong-rrd
program to create the new CGI programs.

And there is a new beta spong-client module check_memory. The module is an
enhanced swap check. It checks both physical memory and virtual memory. Now
it's limited to using top or the Linux free command.
