Developer Changelog

Release Notes for Apcupsd 3.14.x

Apcupsd 3.14.x is the latest STABLE release, containing many bug fixes and
new features over the previous 3.12.x stable series. Users of all previous
versions are encouraged to upgrade.

IF YOU USE THE OLD STYLE MASTER/SLAVE NETWORKING MODE, BE SURE TO READ THE
3.14.0 RELEASE NOTES BELOW.


3.14.4 -- 18 May 2008                (Maintenance Release)

MAJOR CHANGES

  * Build system rewrite: All Makefiles have been rewritten from scratch.
    Improvements include reliable dependencies, support for parallel make,
    elimination of Makefile.in -> Makefile conversion, consistent use of
    DESTDIR during 'make install', and pretty-printed output during builds.
    
    NEW BUILD SYSTEM NOTES
      - GNU make is required. The configure script checks for this and tells
        you how to invokve it (on some platforms it is 'gmake' instead of 
        'make').
      - Output during build is pretty-printed by default. To see more details,
        use 'make VERBOSE=1' for output similar to the old build system. For
        even more verbosity, use 'make VERBOSE=2'.
      - Parallel builds work well. If you have a multiprocessor (or multicore)
        system, try 'make -j<number-of-processors>' for the fastest possible
        build.

  * Built-in version of libgd for multimon cgi has been removed. The version
    previously included in apcupsd was old and likely had security issues.
    It is safer to use libgd from the target system. Therefore, your system
    must provide libgd if you choose to build cgi now. Generally this is 
    easy to achieve by installing a vendor-supplied package.

  * Removal of NLS support: The NLS code was terribly bit-rotted with many
    non-internationalized messages and almost every translated message was
    incorrect. At this point the maintenance burden of keeping NLS support
    building was deemed too high considering the small benefit it was able 
    to provide.

  * Powerflute has been disabled. It has been broken for the last several 
    releases because it relied on an untrushworthy source of UPS status
    (rawupsstats) which was itself removed. Powerflute could be converted to
    use the standard NIS status mechanism and its source code remains in
    the tree in case someone has the desire to contribute this code.

NEW FEATURES

  * Add POLLTIME directive to control UPS polling interval. This directive
    specifies the number of seconds to delay between polling the UPS for
    status. Previously, NETTIME allowed this to be adjusted for network
    connections only (snmp, pcnet, nis-net). POLLTIME configures the delay
    for all connection types. NETTIME is accepted as a synonym for 
    compatibility with old config files.

BUG FIXES

  * gapcmon: Corrected the use of NOMPOWER and the calc of current usage
    amount. Thanks to James Scott Jr <skoona at verizon.net>.

  * Add a heuristic to fix up incorrect NOMINV or NOMOUTV. Some UPSes
    (RS 500) report decivolts instead of volts. Reported by Kirill S.
    Bychkov <yason at linklevel.net>.

  * Various build fixes on Solaris and OpenSolaris. Thanks to James Dean
    <jgmdean at gmail.com> for loaning me an ssh login on his OpenSolaris box.

  * Fix hal policy file syntax. For some reason this blatantly	incorrect 
    file actually works on RHEL5 (hal-0.5.8). Thanks to Andrew Telford 
    <a.telford at ieee.org> for correcting it.

  * Fix gapcmon build on OpenBSD.

  * Fix BSD USB driver build.

  * Fix default NIS port on Debian. Debian is now using the standard NIS 
    port, 3551.  Contributed by imacat <imacat at mail.imacat.idv.tw>


3.14.3 -- 20 January 2008            (Maintenance Release)

NEW FEATURES

  * A HAL policy file is automatically installed on Linux systems to disable
    the hald-addon-hid-ups module which conflicts with apcupsd's control of
    USB UPSes. The file is automatically removed when apcupsd is uninstalled.

BUG FIXES

  * Add support for Nominal Power (aka Configured Active Power) reading.  
    Credit to Lars Randers <lars at nstec.dk> for most of the code.

  * Add units to NOMINV, NOMOUTV, and NOMBATTV stats.

  * Eliminate "warning: deprecated conversion from string constant to
    'char*'" warnings emitted from gcc-4.2.1 (earlier versions with
    -Wwrite-strings). Contributed by Steve Yarmie <tribhuvanji at gmail.com>.

  * Fix killpower and eeprom settings bug on USB models introduced when 
    INPUT reports were prioritized over FEATURE reports.

  * Fix bugs that could cause NIS-net driver to get stuck waiting for
    comms to be restored instead of shutting down.
