Cacti 1.2 Beta is here and been in development for little more than a year!
We have been focused on enhancing Cacti and fixing a lot of issues all over the last year. While we did not get all the enhancements we wanted into 1.2, only somewhere around 150+ enhancements and fixes, we believe it is time to release it into the wild.
As always we want to thank the people that use Cacti, participate on the Forums, submit issues and pull requests! We encourage people to get involved and help make Cacti better! This beta would not be possible without the efforts of the community members who have activity helped in testing, reporting issues and submitting fixes!
Thank You!
If you are interested in participating in the 1.2 Beta please visit the Community Forums Beta Section for more information.

Documentation
Going forward there are considerable efforts being made to make sure we have an easy and effective way to create, managed and distribute documentation. In the 1.2 Beta you may notice that documentation has now been included and is accessible directly from the user interface making it more visible than it has ever previously been. If you are interested in helping make the documentation excellent then please do not hesitate to get involved and contribute on the Cacti Documentation repository.
