NetXMS 6.2 patch release 6

[victor]

Hi! We just published patch release 6 for version 6.2. Hopefully that will be last patch release before major release 7. Notable changes since previous patch release:

-  Box selection of elements on network maps
-  Configurable size of port boxes in port view dashboard element
-  Pie chart dashboard element can show actual values instead of percentages
-  Status indicator dashboard element uses object or DCI name as label when custom label is not set
-  Object context macros are expanded in dashboard web page element URLs; new macro form %~ URL-encodes expansion result
-  New web API endpoints for posting events and for managing mapping tables, persistent storage, and SNMP traps
-  New NXSL function FindDCIById; FindAllDCIs accepts null as node argument to search across all data collection targets
-  Server console command to recommission decommissioned node; decommissioned nodes can no longer be returned to managed state via NXSL, web API, parent object, or network discovery
-  Scheduled task operations and maintenance mode changes made from scheduled tasks are written to audit log
-  NXSL scripts run from scheduled tasks and AI assistant tools execute with user security context
-  LDAP diagnostic messages from libldap are logged on TLS and bind failures
-  File delivery policy files are hidden by default in server file store views; "Show hidden files" option added
-  Agent: user sessions on Linux are read from systemd-logind, utmp is kept as fallback
-  Agent: processes started in user sessions get environment of session user; external subagent loader no longer deletes master agent policy files at startup
-  Agent: new configuration parameter ExternalSubagentWatchdogExcludedUsers; watchdog skips sessions without logged on user
-  Agent: authentication and encryption requirements enforced for all commands; AI file operation tools restricted to configured root folder and master server
-  Windows server installer ships JSON templates; Windows client installer always runs Visual C++ runtime installer
