Patch 781 — Report shows blank Max in Use instead of "0" on some instances, zipping issue
There are two agents where one of them has restarted, and the compensations for "end-by-short-poll"
caused licenses to be "checked in" when the other agent still showed them in use. This fix will
counter that and eliminate "end-by-short-poll" compensation if the next poll for the hour is within
the poll interval time.

The configuration "archiver.compress" did not update the files in the archive automatically. This is
fixed for recorder files, but is not fixed for other files.

No support for itanium and tru64 yet.

The patch is tested on i686-linux, x86_64-linux and powerpc-aix5.1.
Patch 771 — Improved TimeZone/DST handling in Open iT back-end
Fixes issues with handling of TimeZone/DST information when processing data. All
back-end processing has been updated to reduce potential problems.
Patch 765 — Performance of archiver
Allows turning off check for error in recorderperiod archive. It will use far less time and cpu if
it is turned off. By default error-checking is on.

In /var/opt/openit/etc/daft.conf it is set by:

archiver.skip-recorder-check(Bool)="true|false"{}

Setting it to "true" turns off the error checking.

If checking remains turned on ("false" or default), it will be about twice as fast as the archiver
in patch 752. It only applies to recorderperiod data.
Patch 755 — Fix problems with expires/valid_from in featureset handling
Fixes problems with handling of expires and valid_from parameters in
featureset map files
Patch 752 — Performance issue for back-end
Update for filtrator and archvier and flab,
which had problems with speed performance.
