- Suppressed warning messages about deprecated mysql extension

Before Zabbix 2.0.8, PHP version 5.5+ users would get a warning message about the mysql PHP extension being deprecated. Starting with Zabbix 2.0.8, warning messages about the deprecated mysql PHP extension are suppressed. Note: using the mysqli PHP extension becomes an official requirement in the next major Zabbix 2.2.0 version.

- Daemon improvements

- ODBC monitoring improvements

• Before Zabbix 2.0.8 the login timeout for ODBC Database monitor items had a fixed value, 5 seconds. Now it is configurable and equal to "Timeout" parameter in server/proxy configuration file (3 seconds by default).
• More detailed ODBC error messages

- Improved warnings for messages exceeding size limits

Previously, when a message exceeded size limits Zabbix ignored it by writing a simple warning to the log file:

19561:20130806:165515.375 Message size 99999999 exceeds the maximum size 67108864 bytes. Message ignored.

In Zabbix 2.0.8, the IP address is added to the warning to identify the message source:

19561:20130806:165515.375 Message size 99999999 from IP 10.0.3.1 exceeds the maximum size 67108864 bytes. Message ignored.

- Security fixes

Zabbix server now correctly enables SSL host verification when using Ez Texting service to send alerts.
