[ARGUS] Argus v5 branches

[Carter Bullard]

Gentle persons,
Argus v5.0.0 has been available as the v5.0.0 branch on GitHub for about 2 months now … testing seems to be good, as its working well on all the endpoint targets, Linux (many flavors), Mac OS Venura and Sonoma, and Windows 10 and 11, as well as all the classic sensor OS’s, including IRIX, Solaris, Linux, *BSD, AIX, HPUX, Onix, UniCos, VxWorks, Cygwin, OpenWRT etc … So we are on track for release this summer (target end of June) ….

If you are considering upgrading, I would give it a try now, and we can work out the issues.  The v5.0.0 clients are backward compatible with v3 argus and provide all the same functionality, so that maybe the best starting point.

Opinions on best way to swap from v3 to v5 as the default branch would be most welcome.

Suggestions on documentation are even more welcome, as that is my next focus.

Hope all is still … most excellent,

Carter
