Icinga Classic UI

* Tooltips for comments in status.cgi

– you don’t have to open the host/service anymore to see the comments, just move your mouse over.

* Multiple delete of comments and downtimes

– now you can tick the items you want to delete and click the delete button

– just like multiple commands support in status.cgi.

* CVS export on pretty much every page

– you can now export various lists and status data directly. There is a small “Export to CSV” link bringing up a page with the current content in csv format. Adding two new config options where you can decide which characters are used for output format completes this nifty enhancement

* Commands expander for config display. This will help at $ARGn$ substitution and showing the exact command line the core will attempt to execute. Long awaited feature, big thanks to Jochen Bern!

* Combined fixes including a slightly modified menu, adding unhandled host/service problems, javascript library updates, fixed segfaults on Solaris in status.cgi without query_string and also complete drop of php as dependency for the classic ui
