This is a major release that refactors a significant amount of the service configuration to use data bags rather than hardcoding specific checks in the templates. The README describes how to create services via data bags.
The main incompatibility and breaking change is that the default services that are monitored by Nagios is reduced to only the "check-nagios" service. This means that existing installations will need to start converting checks over to the new data bag entries.
