OpenNMS 16 Released

Posted on by Tarus

In keeping with our new Horizon release policy of a new major release every three to four months, we are happy to announce the availability of OpenNMS 16, codenamed Daredevil.

Most of the changes in OpenNMS 16 are under the covers. We are trying to streamline the code and thus have removed both capsd (which was deprecated) and linkd (which was replaced by enhanced linkd). This version also requires Java 8.

The main visible feature is that the Dashboard has been rewritten and should be a considerable improvement to those who use it.

A nearly complete list of changes is as follows:
