Added exhaustive descriptions to almos every configuration directive in all daemon module configuration files. Users should now get better understanding about the configuration possibilities. (Redmine issue: #3387)

(Redmine issue: #1017)

(Redmine issue: #3361)

Added configuration file fo pylint tool for inspecting python modules (files in ./lib subdirectory).

(Redmine issue: #3443)

Improved code style using pylint tool and adjusted related documentation for module mentat.script.fetcher, which is a base module for all message post-processing scripts. (Redmine issue: #3374, #3361)

(Redmine issue: #3361)

It makes more sense to put all plugins, that can be used both in scripts and daemons to directory with a name that does not imply usage only in scripts. (Redmine issue: #3443)

(Redmine issue: #3361)

Added missing documentation files and unified contents of documentation files for mentat.plugin.enricher... modules.

(Redmine issue: #3361)

(Redmine issue: #3361)

Improved code style using pylint tool and adjusted related documentation for module mentat.daemon.piper, which is a base module for all real-time message processing daemons. (Redmine issue: #3374, #3361)

(Redmine issue: #3361)

Code for each Mentat module now resides in valid Python module in mentat.module and all apropriate launcher scripts are very minmalistic. This is because names of executable files are not valid Python names for Python modules and this new approach will improve code testing and documentation processes.

Exception files can be used to override internal whois resolving for designated networks to different abuse groups without modifying the original database records. This new feature enables users to generate whois exception files from simple text files containing lists of networks, which can be easily generated by anyone. (Redmine issue: #3385, #3365)

Migration, refactoring and code style unification to support latest PyZenKit and Pynspect libraries.

This huge update represents a lot of work on many parts of the system. After major upgrade in PyZenKit and Pynspect libraries it was necessary to bring this project up to date. There were many changes in the code, lot of refactoring and while all this was done, code quality was improved, documentation written and unit tests modified. Many of these changes simply make sure, that the code works with latest versions of both libraries. This commit is supposed to be a single major feature upgrade, after this only smaller commits will follow to polish this huge amount of work.

(Redmine issues: #3374, #1017, #3361, #3387, #3443)

PyZenKit: 0.34
Pynspect: 0.5

(Redmine issue: #3387)

Some documentation source files had to be renamed to enable better integration with automated buildbot system. Documentation for submodules was included into overall project documentation. (Redmine issue: #3361)

(Redmine issue: #3387)

The PyZenKit and Pynspect library are now part of the Mentat repository as submodules. Above all benefits this approach will enable better integration of documentation of all these projects into single bundle and provide better working environment for developers. (Redmine issue: #3387)

Improved code, documentation and unit tests in IDEA and RRD libraries related to mentat-statistician.py. (Redmine issue: #3379, #1017, #3361)

The bug caused the JPath library to fail when retrieving values from indexed IDEA message object representations. (Redmine issue: #3392)

In Python version older than 3.5 it was not possible to expand multiple lists into function call arguments. (Redmine issue: #3379)

Added library constants instead of literals within module code. Added more statistical calculations (min, max, sum, avg). (Redmine issue: #3379)

Statistician is message post-processing module performing statistical calculations for given time frame and storing them to persistent storage and RRD databases. (Redmine issue: #3379)

Improved readability and comments in default and demo configuration files, added new mentat-enricher.py module to controlled suite instead of legacy Perl-based implementation. (Redmine issue: #3387)
