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.

Thanks a lot for your greate jobs!
Just one suggestion for the new version.
Could we have a switch to control the Weathermap drawing the map with different value in DS, eg:MAX,MIN,AVG,etc.
If there have another switch to control the period of the data in DS to draw the map is better to use.
Thanks again!

Awesome, hope you include a way to get raw data from MRTG without the 8x multiplier.
Great work!

Well, sort of. There is a new feature to allow you to scale *any* datasource, in the same way as the rrd datasource already allows, so you will be able to do:
TARGET 0.125*my_mrtg_html.html
to divide by 8 after the data is fetched.
