Log Message:
Update nagios-base to 3.0.3. Changes since 2.12:

 - Check timeperiod can now be modified on-the-fly.
 - Added first_notification_delay to host and object definitions
   to delay first notification.
 - Notifications are now sent out when flap detection is disabled
   on a host/service-specific or program-wide basis
   ($NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ macro = "FLAPPINGDISABLED").
 - Notifications can now be sent out when scheduled downtime starts,
   ends, and is cancelled.  The $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ macro will be set
   to "DOWNTIMESTART", "DOWNTIMEEND", or "DOWNTIMECANCELLED",
   respectively.  In order to receive downtime notifications,
   specify 's' or 'downtime' in contact, host, and/or service
   notification options.
 - Added ability to use multiple template names (separated by commas)
   in object definitions.
 - Added ability to null out optional character directives in object
   definitions (using 'null' without quotes).
 - Added hostg/service/contactgroup_members directives to
   host/service/contactgroup definitions, respectively, for allowing
   including host, service, or contact members from "sub" groups.
 - Added support for custom variables in host, service, and contact
   definitions.
 - Added host_notifications_enabled, service_notifications_enabled,
   can_submit_commands to contact definitions.
 - Added optional display_name directive to host and service definitions.
 - Removed serviceextinfo definitions and merged variables with
   service definitions.
 - Removed hostextinfo definitions and merged variables with host
   definitions.
 - Services inherit contactgroups, notification interval, and
   notification period from associated host if not specified.
 - Service escalations inherit contactgroups, notification interval,
   and escalation period from associated service if not specified.
 - Host escalations inherit contactgroups, notification interval,
   and escalation period from associated host if not specified.
 - Host, service, host escalation, and service escalation
   definitions now support a 'contacts' directive, along with
   'contact_groups'.
 - Service dependencies with blank dependent host/hostgroup names
   will create "same host" dependencies.
 - Added ability to precache object config files.
 - Added ability to exclude object relationship and circular
   path checks from verification process.
 - Multiline output support for host and service checks.
 - Added $LONGHOSTOUTPUT$ and $LONGSERVICEOUTPUT$ macros.
 - Added $TEMPPATH$ macro.
 - Removed $COMMENTDATAFILE$ and $DOWNTIMEDATAFILE$ macros.
 - Added $HOSTDISPLAYNAME$ and $SERVICEDISPLAYNAME$ macros.
 - Custom host/service/contact macros accessible via $_HOST<varname>$,
   $_SERVICE<varname>$, or $_CONTACT<varname>$. On-demand host/service
   macros for custom vars are working.  Custom vars are also set as
   environment vars.
 - On-demand service macros can contain and empty host name field.
   In this case, the name of the current host will be used.
 - $HOSTNOTES$ and $SERVICENOTES$ macros may now contain macros
   themselves.
 - Added flap_detection_options directive to host and service
   definitions to control which states (i.e. OK, WARNING, UNKNOWN,
   and/or CRITICAL) are used in flap detection logic.
 - Percent state change and state history are now retained and
   recorded even when host/service flap detection is disabled.
 - Hosts and services are immediately check for flapping when flap
   detection is enabled program-wide.
 - Hosts/services that are flapping when flap detection is disabled
   program-wide are now logged.
 - Added PROCESS_FILE external command to allow processing of
   external commands found in an external (regular) file.  Very
   useful for passive checks with long out put or scripting.
 - Custom commands can now be submitted to Nagios.  Custom command
   names are prefixed with an underscore and are not processed
   internally by the Nagios daemon.  They may, however, be processed
   by NEB modules.
 - External commands are now checked by default.  Nagios 2.x and
   earlier did not check for external commands by default.
 - Contact status information is now saved (although it is not
   processed by the old CGIs).
 - Contact status information is now retained across program
   restarts.
 - Comment and downtime IDs are now stored across program restarts,
   should be unique unless reset.
 - Added retained_host/service_attribute_mask variables to control
   what host/service attribs are retained globally.
 - Added retained_process_host/service_attribute_mask variables to
   control what process attribs are retained.
 - Added retained_contact_host/service_attribute_mask variables to
   control what contact attribs are retained globally.
 - Scheduled downtime entries are now stored in the status and
   retention files.
 - Comments are now stored in the status and retention files.
 - Non-persistent acknowledgement comments are now deleted when the
   acknowledgement is removed (instead of when Nagios restarts).
 - Most host checks are now run asynchronously, in parallel!
 - Scheduled host checks now help improve performance, instead of
   hinder it (if caching is enabled).
 - Added cached_host_check_horizon option for enabling use of
   cached host check results.
 - Added enable_predictive_host_dependency_checks for enabling
   predictive checks of dependent hosts.
 - Added retry_interval to host definitions.
 - Added check_for_orphaned_hosts option and support for orphaned
   host checks.
 - Passive host check states can now be translated from their
   original DOWN/UNREACHABLE state if the new
   translate_passive_host_results option is enabled.
 - 'parallelize' option in service definitions deprecated/no longer
   used.
 - Added cached_service_check_horizon option for enabling use of
   cached service check results.
 - Added enable_predictive_service_dependency_checks for enabling
   predictive checks of dependent services.
 - Host and service dependencies can now have a timeperiod during
   which they're valid (dependency_period directive).
 - Updated NEB API version.
 - Modified adaptive program status callback.
 - Added adaptive contact status callback.
 - Added host/service precheck callbacks to allow modules to
   cancel/override internal host/service checks.
 - Added 'enable_embedded_perl' option to main config file to control
   whether epn is enabled/disabled.
 - Added support for perl plugins to specify whether or not they
   should be run under the epn...  The second to tenth line of a perl
   plugin may start with '# nagios: +epn' or '# nagios: -epn' to
   explicity indicate that it should be run under the epn.
 - Added 'use_embedded_perl_implicitly' option to main config file
   to determine whether or not perl plugins will use the epn if they
   don't explicitly allow/disalow it.
 - Hostgroup and servicegroup summaries now show important/unimportant
   problem breakdowns like the TAC CGI.
 - Minor layout changes to host and service detail views in extinfo CGI.
 - More information given when testing scheduling (-s command line
   option).

   descriptions.
 - Plugin output length restriction bumped up to 4K.
 - Added temp_path directive to main config file for specifying temp
   directory.
 - Multiline output support for system commands via my_system().
 - Added global event_id and notification_id vars that are at least
   unique during a single run of Nagios.
 - Default is now to check for orphaned services, rather than not.
 - Renamed service_reaper_frequency to check_result_reaper_frequency.
 - Fractional notification and check intervals are now supported
   (e.g. "3.5" minutes).
 - Backslash chars are now used to escape command arguments that
   contain \ or ! characters.
 - Added 'external_command_buffer_slots' and
   'check_result_buffer_slots' variables to specify size of internal
   buffers.
 - Added check statistics to status file, available via nagiostats
   for graphing in MRTG.
