I'm a fair way into Weathermap 0.96 now, and there should be some nice stuff:
* Z-ordering (make some nodes appear above or below others, or links)
* Templates (extends the DEFAULT node and link, so that you can have 15 nodes all based on a generic 'router' node, and 10 other nodes all based on a generic 'server' node)
* A new cacti data source that skips rrdtool altogether.
* (hopefully) a new data source for Solarwinds Orion.

On the smaller end of things:
* some optimisations and tweaks for poller_output, to hopefully make it a little less fussy and a bit faster (it's not slow, but still...)
* Some tweaks to the Cacti plugin to make it easier to deal with map errors.
* more artificial icons - pie and gauge.

I think there will definitely be at least one beta/RC before this lot comes out, as a couple of the new changes have the potential to create interesting new bugs. It's probably a few weeks away yet, though.
