September Updates: Meridian 2017-2019 & Horizon 26

OpenNMS is released on a monthly schedule, the first Tuesday of the month. The next scheduled release will be October 6th.

In September, we released updates for all supported OpenNMS releases.

Horizon 26.2.1

Release 26.2.1 is the eighth release in the Horizon 26 series.

(Note: 26.2.0 was released in the September release window, but was missing some important fixes because of a few missed branch merges. 26.2.1 contains all of the fixes that were targeted to 26.2.0.)

It contains a bunch of bug fixes and improvements, including adding support for a new telemetry adapter supporting collection from OpenConfig over the gRPC Juniper Telemetry Interface.

The codename for 26.2.0 was Kabuki.
The codename for 26.2.1 is Maskne.
