Fixes event processing on all -Win32 platforms and fixes shutdown on WinXP systems. - - -Release 3.12.1 06Jan06 - -Bug fix release for USB driver. Fixes missing status report on SU 2200. - - -Release 3.12.0 02Jan06 - -MAJOR CHANGES - - * This is the first release following the new release numbering scheme - discussed last spring. The minor release number (y in x.y.z) will be - even for stable releases and odd for development versions. We've just - completed the 3.11.x development series, so 3.12.x will be the stable - branch with minor bug fixes incorporated into 3.12.1, 3.12.2, etc. - Major new features will be developed on 3.13.x and eventually - released as 3.14.x. - - * The non-pthreads build has been REMOVED, allowing great - simplification of the code. Apcupsd now requires your platform to - provide a reliable pthreads library. All modern operating systems - include pthreads support, so this should not be a great impact. Older - systems may not support pthreads or may not have a reliable - implementation. Users of such systems can continue to use the 3.10.18 - stable release, although no new features will be implemented there. + Release Notes for Apcupsd 3.13.x - * The master-slave function should work in this release, but will be - removed in the next major release (3.14.x). Please migrate master- - slave connections to the NIS net driver. (Note that 'NIS' in this - context means Apcupsd's Network Information Server, NOT Sun's NIS/YP) - - * Apcupsd now requires a C++ compiler in order to build. Only minimal - C++ features are used (no templates, RTTI, etc.) so even basic C++ - compilers will be adequate. Again the only users impacted by this - change should be those with very old systems. +*DEVELOPMENT RELEASE* NEW FEATURES - * GUI installer for Win32 systems (thanks, Kern!) - - * SelfTest transfers to battery now supported by USB driver. Such - transfers result in startselftest-endselftest events instead of - powerout-mainsback and trigger the capture of selftest results. - - * apctest supports changing Alarm behavior on USB models. - - * Battery disconnect and reconnect events (USB and apcsmart drivers - only) - - * SNMP driver supports Trap catching which allows the driver to detect - power events more quickly. Previously the driver polled the UPS once - every 60 seconds which could result in long delays before power - failure was recognized. In order for trap catching to work YOU MUST - CONFIGURE YOUR UPS TO SEND TRAPS AS DESCRIBED IN THE APCUPSD MANUAL. - - * Win32 build includes SNMP driver support. - -OTHER CHANGES (See ChangeLog for detailed list) - - * Code style normalization throughout the source tree - - * Improve USB driver architecture to reduce CPU usage. - - * Rename mainsback.in to offbattery.in so default power loss/return - actions are symmetrical. - - * Powerflute fixes (compile and operational fixes) - - * NIS locking fix to prevent clients from reading corrupt data - - * SNMP driver bug fixes and proper commlost event handling - - * Many documentation improvements - - * Rewrite the UPSCABLE description in apcupsd.conf to hopefully - eliminate the common mistake of thinking the cable model numbers are - listed in columns by type. - - * Upgrade Cygwin support to 1.5.18 (thanks, Kern!) - - * Many, many bug fixes + * GUI monitoring applications, gapcmon and gpanel_apcmon, thanks to + James Scott, Jr. These are Gnome/GTK based applications. gapcmon is + a standalone app for monitoring a single UPS. gpanel_apcmon + integrates into a Gnome panel and can monitor up to 8 UPSes at + once. The status of each gpanel UPS is shown with a icon similar + to the Win32 tray icon in winapcupsd. Enable building of these + tools at compile time via --enable-gapcmon and/or --enable-gpanel. |
