7.4.0-TIV-NCOMNIbus-FP0018
--------------------------

IJ05855
        Support for conversions of time (UTC) fields was added.
        For example, for a specific time field with a value such as '0' a
        conversion text such as 'Unknown' or 'Not Set' could be defined
        through the alerts.conversions table. Conversions for time/UTC fields
        are now also supported by the Administrator GUI.
        Previously, if the value for a UTC date/time field in the
        ObjectServer was zero, Omnibus used to convert it to Epoch Time -
        01/01/1970.  In the native Event list GUI, on both Windows and
        UNIX, the default behaviour is now for a time field with the
        value of zero to be displayed as a blank field.
        This enhancement was implemented in response to enhancement
        requests 12253, 18888, 18915, 65835 and 97525.

IJ06114
        TLSv1.2 is now enabled irrespective of FIPS mode for all Java
        clients. Previous APAR IJ01536 did the same for all native
        servers and clients.

IJ06845
        If the primary probe was unable to contact the secondary probe in P2P
        heartbeat mode, then the primary probe would log approximately
        10 related messages per second. This activity is now reduced to
        one connection attempt and one message per second.

IJ08930
        If the data to be sent through the nco_probeeventfactory script
        on UNIX contained multiple = characters then the script would use
        the last = character as the delimiter between name and value. The
        script now uses the first = character as the delimiter.

IJ08574
        Probes used to leak memory when re-reading rules files,
        especially if the probe included the same rules file repeatedly
        (such as in NcKL). This issue is now resolved.

IJ09115
        On Windows,  the last line of an external probe lookup table was
        not read in by the probe. This issue is now fixed.
