Upgrade Notes
Major changes to the configuration structure have been made to simplify upgrades and packaging of Cacti.
The include/config.php file now only contains the database configuration for Cacti. All other code that
was in the include/config.php has been moved to include/global.php. All include/config_*.php have been renamed
to include/global_*.php.
Note: Script server scripts will need to be modifed to include include/global.php instead of include/config.php.
Note: All third party plugins in addition to the plugin architecture will need to be updated to work with the 0.8.7 release.
From this release forward Cactid will now be known as Spine. If you are currently using Cactid, you will need to download and install Spine.
