Summary
Below you will find the release note for all versions of Cacti 1.0.0 and above. Release notes for earlier Cacti versions have been excluded due to the large list of changes that have occurred over the years, and since Cacti 0.8.x is no longer supported, it's a good time to for the purposes of this document, move them aside.
