05/05/2017: Stable Rollup and nslast Bug

Six years (!!!) since the last stable release a rollup stable beta is out in the form of 1.18.0. Naturally this may have quite a few changes and, although tested thoroughly, could cause some issues with legacy installs so please backup before updating.

This also fixes a bug with the new nslast (last nodeside data) test which said 0 seconds (just now) was a failure condition causing some monitors to go a bit haywire. All fixed with the removal of a single character.

Any problems with the update or anything else: http://www.purplepixie.org/freenats/support.php
