NOC 0.2 RELEASE

[dv]

The NOC Project team proudly presents the NOC 0.2 RELEASE.
0.2 RELEASE is a next major step in evolution from internal project
to the mature Open-Source product.

0.2 RELEASE introduces Knowledge Base application which can be used to
share
knowledge between staff. Instead of forcing using of specific markup
language for articles,
KB allows to choose desired markup syntax for articles. Creole, Plain
Text and CSV syntaxes
are supported in 0.2. KB can substitute internal wikis reducing
management overhead.

Fault management is improved too. Classification rules can hold
arithmetic expression
which can be evaluated to calculate variable value (For example, call
duration can be
evaluated as a difference of call stop and call start times)

Many improvements applied to service activation. DLink and Edge-Core
compatibility improved.

Migration:
Install python-creole package (easy-install python-creole)
