* Reduce the memory footprint of data export.

0.9.0a - 2018-08-29

* The command timeout value is now an idle timeout while waiting for data from the device.
* Add first version of F5 TM-OS (BIG-IP) driver.
* Add more logging options.
* Add the ability to search based on device domains, and to build dynamic groups based on device domains.
* Add the ability to filter reports based on device domains.
* Cisco IOS-XR: more device families (NCS).
* More details in SNMP trap received error message.

0.8.1 - 2018-06-05

0.8.0 - 2018-03-04

* Debug mode for snapshot tasks (hidden by default). This makes easy to debug drivers.
* Snapshot and run scripts have now access to the current device data, so they can compute some differences before
pushing a new config to the history (for example).
* Updates on FortiOS and Avaya drivers.

0.7.3 - 2018-02-19

* It is now possible to match on the part number (from hardware inventory) within the software compliance rules.

0.7.2 - 2017-12-22

* Allow the same connect IP address for different devices (probably using different ports)

0.7.1 - 2017-12-21

* Device-specific credentials -- fix a bug where they could be used by another device.
* Rename netshot.db.encryptionPassword to netshot.db.encryptionpassword for consistency. With backward compatibility.

0.7.0 - 2017-12-09

* Device-specific credentials

  snapshot on the local system) which never worked in the previous public
  releases.

        netshot.snapshots.dump = /path/to/a/local/folder
    The Config attributes with the 'dump' option set to true or to an object
    with additional parameters will be written to the file.
