[Nagios-announce] Nagios 2.0b1 Available

[Cook, Garry]

Thanks. I didn't realize that there were docs posted for 2.0 at this
stage. I found an answer in the What's New section:

Hostgroup Changes

    * Hostgroup escalations removed - Hostgroup escalations have been
removed. Their functionality can be duplicated by using the
hostgroup_name directive in hostgroup definitions.

Although I must admit, this statement does not make a great deal of
sense to me. I guess I'll figure it out when it comes time to upgrade.
