Release notes for NUT 2.8.0 - what's new since 2.7.4:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
NOTE: Earlier discussions (mailing list threads, GitHub issues, etc.) could
|
|
|
|
|
refer to this change set (too long in the making) as NUT 2.7.5.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- New (optional) keywords for configuration files were added,
|
|
|
|
|
so existing NUT 2.7.x builds would not accept them if some
|
|
|
|
|
deployments switch versions back and forth -- due to this,
|
|
|
|
|
semantically the version was bumped to NUT 2.8.x.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Add support for openssl-1.1.0 (Arjen de Korte)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- libusb-1.0 API support in addition to libusb-0.1 API [#300]
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Add support for `DISABLE_WEAK_SSL=true` in upsd.conf to disable older/weaker
|
|
|
|
|
SSL/TLS protocols and ciphers: when NUT is built against relatively recent
|
|
|
|
|
versions of OpenSSL or NSS it will be restricted to TLSv1.2 or better.
|
|
|
|
|
For least-surprise, currently defaults to `false` and complains in log
|
|
|
|
|
[PR #1043]
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Add support for `ALLOW_NO_DEVICE=true` (as an upsd.conf flag or environment
|
|
|
|
|
variable passed from caller of the program), to allow starting the data
|
|
|
|
|
server initially without any device configurations and reloading it later
|
|
|
|
|
to apply config changes on the fly [PR #766]
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Add support for `debug_min=NUM` setting (ups.conf, upsd.conf, upsmon.conf)
|
|
|
|
|
to specify the minimum debug verbosity for daemons. This allows "in-vivo"
|
|
|
|
|
troubleshooting of service daemons without editing init scripts or service
|
|
|
|
|
unit definitions.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Improve support for upsdrvctl for managing of numerous device configs,
|
|
|
|
|
including default "maxretry=3" and a "nowait" option to complete the
|
|
|
|
|
"start of everything" mode after triggering the drivers and not waiting
|
|
|
|
|
for them to complete initializing. This matters on systems that monitor
|
|
|
|
|
from dozens to hundreds of devices.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Drivers support a new value for `synchronous` setting, which is the
|
|
|
|
|
new default now: `auto`. Initially after driver start-up this mode
|
|
|
|
|
acts as the older default `off`, but would fall back to `on` in case
|
|
|
|
|
the driver fails to send reports to `upsd` by overflowing the socket
|
|
|
|
|
buffer in async mode -- so the next connections of this driver uptime
|
|
|
|
|
would be synchronized (potentially slower, but safer -- blocking on
|
|
|
|
|
writes to the data server). This adaptation would primarily impact
|
|
|
|
|
and benefit devices with many (hundreds of) data points, such as
|
|
|
|
|
ePDUs and daisy chains. [issue #1309, PR #1315]
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Daemons such as upsd, upsmon, upslog, and device drivers previously
|
|
|
|
|
implied that enabled debugging (or upslog to stdout) means foreground
|
|
|
|
|
running, otherwise the daemon was always sent to the background.
|
|
|
|
|
Now there are explicit options for this (`-F`/`-B`), although default
|
|
|
|
|
behavior is retained. This change is used for simplified service unit
|
|
|
|
|
definitions.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Improvements for device discovery or driver "lock-picking", including
|
|
|
|
|
general support for:
|
|
|
|
|
* "Standalone" mode (`-s` option), to monitor a device which is not
|
|
|
|
|
detailed or mentioned in ups.conf
|
|
|
|
|
* `NUT_ALTPIDPATH` and `NUT_STATEPATH` environment variables to override
|
|
|
|
|
the paths built into the driver binary [PR #473 and #507]
|
|
|
|
|
* "Driver data dump" mode (`-d` option), to poll a device for one or
|
|
|
|
|
few ('update_count' ) loops, report discovered values (dump the data
|
|
|
|
|
tree in upsc-like format), and exit. This complements the `nut-scanner`
|
|
|
|
|
for finding and identifying devices.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- support for new devices:
|
|
|
|
|
* IBM 6000 VA LCD 4U Rack UPS; 5396-1Kx (USB)
|
|
|
|
|
* Phoenix Contact QUINT-UPS model 2320461 (Modbus)
|
|
|
|
|
* Tripp-Lite SU3000LCD2UHV (USB; protocol 1330)
|
|
|
|
|
* Emerson Avocent PM3000 PDU (SNMP)
|
|
|
|
|
* HPE ePDU (SNMP)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- nutdrv_qx: enhanced estimation of remaining battery runtime based
|
|
|
|
|
on speed of voltage drop, which varies as they age [PR #1027]
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- nutdrv_qx: several subdrivers added or improved, including:
|
|
|
|
|
* "snr" subdriver with USB connection, for SNR-UPS-LID-XXXX [PR #1008].
|
|
|
|
|
Note that end-users should reference explicitly the `snr` subdriver
|
|
|
|
|
in their `ups.conf` settings because of USB chip using the same
|
|
|
|
|
values of VendorID/ProductID as fabula_subdriver, fuji_subdriver,
|
|
|
|
|
and krauler_subdriver.
|
|
|
|
|
* "hunnox" subdriver, as a dialect of earlier "fabula" [PR #638]
|
|
|
|
|
adds support for Hunnox HNX-850 with USB connection and reported to work
|
|
|
|
|
for Powercool, Iron Guardian, ARES devices and possibly many others from
|
|
|
|
|
discussions linking to the pull request which introduced the driver.
|
|
|
|
|
* "phoenixtec" subdriver for Masterguard A and E series, device series
|
|
|
|
|
A700/1000/2000/3000(-19) and E40/60/100(-19). [PR #975]
|
|
|
|
|
* "ablerex" subdriver provided by the OEM vendor, note that it replaces
|
|
|
|
|
"krauler_subdriver" as default handler for VID:PID 0xffff:0x0000
|
|
|
|
|
[PR #1135]
|
|
|
|
|
* Legrand HID defined and handled by "krauler_subdriver" by default
|
|
|
|
|
[PR #1075, issue #616]
|
|
|
|
|
* add new "armac" subdriver, tested with Armac R/2000I/PSW, but should
|
|
|
|
|
support other UPSes that work with "PowerManagerII" software from
|
|
|
|
|
Richcomm Technologies from around 2004-2005 [PR #1239, issue #1238]
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- microsol-apc (starting at version 0.68 as derived from solis 0.67):

|
|
|
|
|
and possibly some related FSP UPS models. [PR #954]
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- socomec_jbus: added new driver for modbus-based JBUS protocol over serial
|
|
|
|
|
RS-232 for Socomec UPS (tested with a DIGYS 3/3 15kVA model, working
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
- Dual Python 2 and 3 compatibility in development scripts; ability to

|
|
|
|
- usbhid-ups:
|
|

|
|
* added generic framework for fixing Report Descriptors which can be
|
|
|
|
|
used for different manufacturers by adding code to the appropriate
|
|
|
|
|
subdriver rather than polluting the main code with UPS specific
|
|
|
|
|
exceptions, and applied fixes for known mistakes in (some releases
|
|
|
|
|
of firmware for) CyberPower CPS*EPFCLCD [issue #439, PR #1245]
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
when wall power is lost [PR #811]
|
|
|
|
|
* changed detection of VendorID 0x06da handling of which is claimed
|
|
|
|
|
by Liebert/Phoenixtec HID historically, and MGE HID (for AEG PROTECT
|
|
|
|
|
NAS UPSes) since NUT 2.7.4, so that the higher-priority MGE subdriver
|
|
|
|
|
would not grab each and all of the devices exposing that ID [PR #1357]
|
|
|
|
|
* CPS HID: add input.frequency and output.frequency
|
|
|
|
|

|
when querying many devices (up to 15 times faster)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- nut-driver-enumerator: introduced a script for Linux systemd and
|
|
|
|
|
Solaris/illumos SMF to inspect current NUT configuration in ups.conf
|
|
|
|
|
file and generate service management instances for each currently
|
|
|
|
|
tracked power device. Also introduced services to monitor the NUT
|
|
|
|
|
configuration and react to editions of this file, mostly intended
|
|
|
|
|
for deployments that do massive monitoring of dynamically changing
|
|
|
|
|
farms of power devices.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Fix File descriptors leaks by upsmon and upssched (SELinux errors)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- systemd support improvements:
|
|
|
|
|
* POWEROFF_WAIT
|
|
|
|
|
* reload support for upsd
|
|
|
|
|
* Deliver systemd-tmpfiles config to pre-create runtime locations
|
|
|
|
|
[PR #1037 for Issue #1030]
|
|
|
|
|
* Update units with SyslogIdentifier=%N for better logging [PR #1054]
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- upsrw: display the variable type beside ENUM / RANGE
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Added `PROTVER` as alias to `NETVER` to report the protocol version in use.
|
|
|
|
|
Note that NUT codebase itself does not use this value and handles commands
|
|
|
|
|
and reported errors individually [issue #1347]
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Implement status tracking for instant commands (instcmd) and variables
|
|
|
|
|
settings (setvar): this allows to get the actual execution status from the
|
|
|
|
|
driver, and is available in libraries and upscmd / upsrw [PR #659]
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Add support for extra parameter for instant commands, both in library and
|
|
|
|
|
in upscmd
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- dummy-ups can now specify `mode` as a driver argument, and separates the
|
|
|
|
|
notion of `dummy-once` (new default for `*.dev` files that do not change)
|
|
|
|
|
vs. `dummy-loop` (legacy default for `*.seq` and others) [issue #1385]
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- new protocol variables:
|
|
|
|
|
* `input.phase.shift`
|
|
|
|
|
* `outlet.N.name`
|
|
|
|
|
* `outlet.N.type`
|
|
|
|
|
* `battery.voltage.cell.max`, `battery.voltage.cell.min`
|
|
|
|
|
* `battery.temperature.cell.max`, `battery.temperature.cell.min`
|
|
|
|
|
* `battery.status`
|
|
|
|
|
* `battery.capacity.nominal`
|
|
|
|
|
* `battery.date.maintenance` (and clarified purpose of `battery.date`)
|
|
|
|
|
* `battery.packs.external` (and clarified purpose of `battery.packs`)
|
|
|
|
|
* `experimental.*` namespace introduced [PR #1046] to facilitate
|
|
|
|
|
introduction of NUT drivers and their data points for which we do
|
|
|
|
|
not yet have concepts, or which the original driver contributors
|
|
|
|
|
did not map well per suitable NUT standards: this allows to balance
|
|
|
|
|
having those drivers available in the project vs. least surprise
|
|
|
|
|
for when the explicitly experimental names are changed to something
|
|
|
|
|
stable and standardized.
|
|
|
|
|
* Proposed to track Date and Time values (still as "opaque strings")
|
|
|
|
|
preferably in representations compatible to ISO-8601/RFC-3339 [PR #1076]
|
|
|
|
|
(standards update; changes to actual codebase to be applied in the future)
|
|
|
|
|
** New routine to convert a US formatted date string "MM/DD/YYYY" to an
|
|
|
|
|
ISO 8601 Calendar date "YYYY-MM-DD" was added to snmp-ups.c [PR #1078]
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Master/Slave terminology was deprecated in favor of Primary/Secondary
|
|
|
|
|
modes of `upsmon` client:
|
|
|
|
|
* Respective keywords in the configuration files (`upsd.users` and
|
|
|
|
|
`upsmon.conf`) are supported as backwards-compatible settings,
|
|
|
|
|
but the obsoleted values are no longer documented.
|
|
|
|
|
* Protocol keyword support was similarly updated, with `upsmon` now
|
|
|
|
|
first trying to elevate privileges with `PRIMARY <ups>` request,
|
|
|
|
|
and falling back to `MASTER <ups>` just in case it talks to an
|
|
|
|
|
older build of an `upsd` server.
|
|
|
|
|
* For the principle of least surprise, NUT codebase still exposes the
|
|
|
|
|
`net_master()` (as handler for `MASTER` net command) in header and
|
|
|
|
|
C code for the sake of existing linked binaries, and returns the
|
|
|
|
|
`OK MASTER-GRANTED` line to the older client that invoked it.
|
|
|
|
|
* Newly introduced `net_primary()` (as handler for `PRIMARY` net command)
|
|
|
|
|
calls the exact same application logic, but returns `OK PRIMARY-GRANTED`
|
|
|
|
|
line to the client.
|
|
|
|
|
* Python binding updated to handle both cases, as the only found in-tree
|
|
|
|
|
protocol consumer of the full-line text.
|
|
|
|
|
* For more details see issue #840 and several pull requests referenced
|
|
|
|
|
from it, and discussions on NUT mailing lists.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Build fixes:
|
|
|
|
|
* In general, numerous fixes were applied to ensure portability and avoid
|
|
|
|
|
warnings (fixing a number of real bugs that caused them); CI was extended
|
|
|
|
|
to keep the codebase free of those types of warnings which we have got
|
|
|
|
|
rid of, requiring builds to succeed cleanly in several dozen combinations
|
|
|
|
|
of compiler versions, C standard revisions (C99 upwards, though on many
|
|
|
|
|
OSes with GNU99+ extensions), operating systems and CPU architectures.
|
|
|
|
|
* Public CI introduced to automatically test every contribution (PR) and
|
|
|
|
|
resulting increment of main NUT codebase, including Travis CI and LGTM.com
|
|
|
|
|
services, and a Jenkins farm on virtual hardware donated by Fosshost.org;
|
|
|
|
|
this augments testing earlier provided for some branches by Buildbot.
|
|
|
|
|
* Added cppunit testing with valgrind for the C++ client library
|
|
|
|
|
* Make targets added for shell script syntax checks for helper and service
|
|
|
|
|
scripts
|
|
|
|
|
* Make targets added for spellcheck and for maintenance of the dictionary,
|
|
|
|
|
including incremental spellcheck to only parse recently edited text files
|
|
|
|
|
* The AsciiDoc detection has been reworked to allow NUT to be built from
|
|
|
|
|
source without requiring asciidoc/a2x (using pre-built man pages from
|
|
|
|
|
the distribution tarball, for instance)
|
|
|
|
|
* Makefile contents rearranged for more resilient out-of-tree and in-tree
|
|
|
|
|
builds beside those made from the root workspace directory
|
|
|
|
|
* Makefiles are tested with GNU Make and BSD Make to ensure portable recipes
|
|
|
|
|
* More use of `pkg-config` to detect dependencies at configure time, as
|
|
|
|
|
well as fail-safe detection of presence of pkg-config (and its macros)
|
|
|
|
|
to survive and build without it too
|
|
|
|
|
* "slibtool" pedantic nuances now supported, allowing an alternative to
|
|
|
|
|
GNU libtool
|
|
|
|
|
* Build scripts updated to remove obsoleted calls to cleanly work with
|
|
|
|
|
autoconf-2.70 releases in 2020 (also works with 2.69 which was the
|
|
|
|
|
earlier release since 2012)
|
|
|
|
|
* Dynamic library loading used in certain programs and use-cases improved,
|
|
|
|
|
especially for 64-bit vs 32-bit builds on multiple-bitness OSes
|
|
|
|
|
* Logging routines like `upsdebugx()` were refactored as macros so there
|
|
|
|
|
is slightly less overhead when logging is disabled [PRs #685 and #1100]
|
|
|
|
|
* Numerous classes of compilation warnings eradicated, many of those being
|
|
|
|
|
potential issues with implicit data type conversions and varied numeric
|
|
|
|
|
type width, signedness, string buffer size, uninitialized variables or
|
|
|
|
|
structure fields; some more in progress
|
|
|
|
|
* Several logical errors found and fixed during this walk over codebase.
|
|
|
|
|
* Cases where compilers were overly zealous and particular code was written
|
|
|
|
|
the way wit was intentionally, including some comparisons that help with
|
|
|
|
|
different-bitness builds but indeed seem superfluous in a certain single
|
|
|
|
|
bitness, were commented and encased in pragmas to disable the warnings
|
|
|
|
|
* Basic coding style (indentations, lack of trailing white space) applied
|
|
|
|
|
per developer guide, but not automatically enforced/checked yet.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Due to changes needed to resolve build warnings, mostly about mismatching
|
|
|
|
|
data types for some variables, some structure definitions and API signatures
|
|
|
|
|
of several routines had to be changed for argument types, return types,
|
|
|
|
|
or both. Primarily this change concerns internal implementation details
|
|
|
|
|
(may impact update of NUT forks with custom drivers using those), but a
|
|
|
|
|
few changes also happened in header files installed for builds configured
|
|
|
|
|
`--with-dev` and so may impact `upsclient` and `nutclient` (C++) consumers.
|
|
|
|
|
At the very least, binaries for those consumers should be rebuilt to remain
|
|
|
|
|
stable with NUT 2.8.0 and not mismatch int-type sizes and other arguments.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- As usual, more bugfixes, cleanup and improvements, on both source code
|
|
|
|
|
and documentation.

|
|
|
|
|
- tripplite_usb: updated to use dv/dq charge calculation for all models (also
|

|
|
|
|
|
binary 3005 protocol support (such as for SMART500RT1U)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- genericups: better debugging while parsing the cable description flags
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
units, such as some ePDUs
|

Release notes for NUT 2.7.1 - what's new since 2.6.5:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- This release is an interim release, part of the testing series, and the
|
|
|
|
|
first release after the transition from Subversion to Git.
|
|
|
|
|
The last release (2.6.5) is almost a year old. A lot of work has
|
|
|
|
|
been done, but a good amount remains to achieve 2.8.0 goals.
|
|
|
|
|
Please read the UPGRADING notes.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Added support for SSL via the Mozilla NSS library, in addition to the
|
|
|
|
|
existing OpenSSL support.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Added a new driver, nutdrv_qx, for Megatec/Qx devices. This driver will
|
|
|
|
|
eventually replace the blazer_ser and blazer_usb drivers. In particular, it
|
|
|
|
|
adds support for Voltronic Power devices.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Increased USB_TIMEOUT to standards-compliant 5.000 seconds in most drivers.
|
|
|
|
|
This should reduce the number of timeouts on low-speed USB 1.1 devices.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- The jNut Java source has been split into a separate GitHub repository.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Added many devices to the HCL. Of particular note are many Tripp Lite USB
|
|
|
|
|
HID PDC models which were tested against NUT by Tripp Lite.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Reworked some visual elements of the HCL. The output is better tailored for
|
|
|
|
|
graphical and text-only browsers, but suggestions are welcome for additional
|
|
|
|
|
accessibility enhancements.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Also increased timeouts and added redundant commands to improve reliability
|
|
|
|
|
of mge-utalk driver.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Added the apcupsd-ups driver to interoperate with apcupsd installations.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Added documentation on creating subdrivers for snmp-ups and nutdrv_qx.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Added new drivers for the Riello UPS product line (riello_ser/riello_usb).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Many improvements to the BCM/XCP drivers have been merged in. This includes
|
|
|
|
|
an improved data reception loop, and additional mappings.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Added a few variables to the Powercom HID mappings.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Updated the apcsmart driver, and renamed the previous driver to apcsmart-old.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Fixed the battery percentage calculation in the bestfcom driver.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- libnutclient has been added as a C++ alternative to libupsclient.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Packaging files for Solaris and HP-UX (sponsored by Eaton)
|
2022-07-10 10:23:45 +03:00
|
|
|
|
2013-11-24 17:00:12 +02:00
|
|
|
- Fix shutdown of Eaton HID, using usbhid-ups and mge-shut
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- usbhid-ups: final fix for APC Back UPS ES. APC Back UPS ES devices have
|
|
|
|
|
buggy firmware, and this version does not cause a regression. The max_report
|
|
|
|
|
variable should be set automatically based on the USB identification values.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- nut-scanner: fix crash
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- IPMI support can handle more different versions of FreeIPMI
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Support power supplies scan over the network
|
|
|
|
|
nut-scanner can now scan for power supplies with IPMI over LAN.
|
|
|
|
|
This is currently limited to IPMI 1.5 only
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Implement a framework to spell check documentation source files,
|
|
|
|
|
using Aspell. This includes an interactive build target (make
|
|
|
|
|
spellcheck-interactive), and an automated one (make spellcheck),
|
|
|
|
|
mainly for QA / Buildbot purpose. Note that a base NUT dictionary
|
|
|
|
|
is also available (docs/nut.dict), providing a glossary of terms
|
|
|
|
|
related to power devices and management
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Improve systemd integration

|
|
|
|
2013-11-24 17:00:12 +02:00
|
|
|
- snmp-ups: Fixed a crash on outlet management, and added delta_ups MIB
|
|
|
|
|
support. Also fixed mappings for upsBypassVoltage, upsBypassCurrent, and
|
|
|
|
|
upsBypassPower in three-phase IETF MIB.

Release notes for NUT 2.6.5 - what's new since 2.6.4:
|
|
|
|
|
|
2013-11-24 17:00:12 +02:00
|
|
|
- This release fixes an important regression in upssched:
|
2012-08-13 00:39:31 +03:00
|
|
|
any upssched.conf command that takes a second argument resulted in
|
|
|
|
|
a defective frame sent to the parent process. Thus, the command was
|
|
|
|
|
not executed (report and patch from Oliver Schonefeld)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Website hosting: free NUT from Eaton website hosting
|
2013-11-24 17:00:12 +02:00
|
|
|
NUT website (http://www.networkupstools.org) is no longer hosted by Eaton.
|
2012-08-13 00:39:31 +03:00
|
|
|
Arnaud Quette (NUT project leader) has taken over NUT hosting on his own,
|
2013-11-24 17:00:12 +02:00
|
|
|
to give NUT back some independence.
|
2012-08-13 00:39:31 +03:00
|
|
|
This effort is also part of a logic to stop crediting Eaton for
|
|
|
|
|
contributions from others (especially Arnaud Quette, as an individual).
|
|
|
|
|
The new hosting service is located, as for Arnaud's blog
|
|
|
|
|
(http://arnaud.quette.fr) on Gandi servers, using PaaS. This will allow
|
|
|
|
|
more flexibility and automation of the release process
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- macosx-ups: new OS X Power Sources meta-driver
|
|
|
|
|
Mac OS X provides UPS status information in a format similar to
|
|
|
|
|
what is shown for laptop batteries. This driver will convert that
|
|
|
|
|
information into a format compatible with NUT (Charles Lepple).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- support for new devices:
|
|
|
|
|
Eaton ePDU Switched
|
|
|
|
|
Online Zinto A (USB ID 0x06da:0x0601)
|
|
|
|
|
REDi Blazer 400VA / 600VA / 800VA
|
|
|
|
|
UNITEK Alpha650ipF and Alpha650ipE (USB ID 0x0f03:0x0001)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- mge-shut driver has been replaced by a new implementation (newmge-shut).
|
|
|
|
|
In case of issue with this new version, users can revert to oldmge-shut.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- First NUT virtualization package: NUT now supports integration with
|
|
|
|
|
VMware ESXI 5.0, through a native VIB package. This is, for the time
|
|
|
|
|
being, an external effort from René Garcia (refer to the Download section
|
|
|
|
|
on NUT website). But work is underway to improve this integration, and
|
2022-07-10 10:23:45 +03:00
|
|
|
include it in the NUT source tree
|
2012-08-13 00:39:31 +03:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- IPMI support (nut-ipmipsu driver and nut-scanner): prepare for supporting
|
|
|
|
|
API changes in upcoming FreeIPMI versions 1.1.x and 1.2.x.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- snmp-ups now supports high precision values for APC, and more variables
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- the NUT variables and commands namespace has been fixed and
|
|
|
|
|
completed, with the known and used variables that were missing.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- more bugfixes, cleanup and improvements, on both source code and
|
|
|
|
|
documentation.

Release notes for NUT 2.6.4 - what's new since 2.6.3:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- This release Fix an important vulnerability in upsd
|
|
|
|
|
(CVE-2012-2944: upsd can be remotely crashed)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
NUT server (upsd), from versions 2.4.0 to 2.6.3, are exposed to
|
|
|
|
|
crashes when receiving random data from the network.
|
|
|
|
|
This issue is related to the way NUT parses characters,
|
|
|
|
|
especially from the network. Non printable characters were missed
|
|
|
|
|
from strings operation (such as strlen), but still copied to the
|
|
|
|
|
buffer, causing an overflow.
|
2022-07-10 10:23:45 +03:00
|
|
|
Thus, fix NUT parser, to only allow the subset of ASCII charset from
|
2012-06-01 16:55:19 +03:00
|
|
|
Space to ~
|
|
|
|
|
(Reported by Sebastian Pohle, Alioth bug #313636, CVE-2012-2944)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A separate patch, which applies to any faulty version, is also available:
|
|
|
|
|
http://trac.networkupstools.org/projects/nut/changeset/3633
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For more information, refer to the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures:
|
|
|
|
|
http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2012-2944
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- A static source code analysis has been done by Michal Hlavinka from RedHat,
|
|
|
|
|
using Coverity (12 issues fixed).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Add new "LIST CLIENTS" and "NETVER" commands to NUT network protocol.
|
|
|
|
|
"NETVER" allows to retrieve the Network protocol version, while
|
|
|
|
|
"LIST CLIENTS" provides the list of clients connected to a device.
|
|
|
|
|
Refer to the developer guide, "Network protocol information" section for
|
|
|
|
|
more information.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Support of ranges of values for writable variables has been added, to
|
|
|
|
|
complete the existing enumerated values mechanism. This will start to
|
|
|
|
|
appear in some drivers soon, beginning with Eaton. Refer to the developer
|
|
|
|
|
guide, "Creating a new driver..." section for more information.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- PyNUT.py has been updated to version 1.2.2, adding support for

This version brings weak runtime dependencies in libnutscan, which allows to
|
|
|
|
|
compile nut-scanner with all options and to run according to the available
|

Release notes for NUT 2.6.2 - what's new since 2.6.1:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- NUT can now monitor power supply units (PSU) in servers, through IPMI, using
|
|
|
|
|
the new experimental 'nut-ipmipsu' driver. Users are encouraged to test it,
|
|
|
|
|
and send feedback and debug output to the development mailing list.
|
|
|
|
|
This requires GNU FreeIPMI (0.8.5 or higher) development package or files.
|
|
|
|
|
Thanks goes to Al Chu, FreeIPMI project leader, for his help during this
|
|
|
|
|
development.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- NUT now provides a tool, called 'nut-scanner', to discover supported devices,
|
|
|
|
|
both local and remote. nut-scanner will help to ease the configuration step,
|
|
|
|
|
and power infrastructure discovery.
|
|
|
|
|
This development, sponsored by Eaton, supports the following methods:
|
|
|
|
|
* USB,
|
|
|
|
|
* SNMP,
|
|
|
|
|
* XML/HTTP (from Eaton),
|
|
|
|
|
* NUT servers, using the classic connect or Avahi / mDNS methods.

|
|
|
|
2011-09-29 21:14:46 +03:00
|
|
|
IPMI support will be added in the next release.
|
|
|
|
|
A separate library, called 'libnutscan', is also available to provide these
|
|
|
|
|
feature. Future NUT releases will provides binding for the supported
|
|
|
|
|
languages (Perl, Python and Java).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- NUT now provides a Java interface called 'jNut'.
|
|
|
|
|
This development, sponsored by Eaton, is currently limited to the client
|
|
|
|
|
interface. But it will be broaden to device discovery and configuration in
|
|
|
|
|
the future.
|
|
|
|
|
For more info, refer to nut/scripts/java/README, or the developer guide
|
|
|
|
|
(chapter 'Creating new client'). Javadoc documentation is also provided,
|
2022-07-10 10:23:45 +03:00
|
|
|
along with Java archives (.jar) in the Download section.

|
|
|
|
2022-07-10 10:23:45 +03:00
|
|
|
- support for new devices: Eaton 3S ; Cyber Power Systems CP1000AVRLCD ;
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
Smart-UPS RT XL ; Orvaldi 750 / 900SP ; POWEREX VI 1000 LED ; PowerWalker
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- A regression has been fixed in udev rules file. This previously caused
|
|
|
|
|
permission issues to owners of some USB devices.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Avahi support has been added, for NUT mDNS publication, through a static
|
|
|
|
|
service file (nut/scripts/avahi/nut.service).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- usbhid-ups has had Eaton completion: some features have been improved, such
|
|
|
|
|
as 'output.voltage.nominal' ; 3S Eco control support has been added, along
|
|
|
|
|
with battery.runtime.low and end of battery life (life cycle monitoring)
|
|
|
|
|
support ; new measurements for 5 PX are also supported now (outlet power
|
|
|
|
|
factor, power, real power and current).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- apcsmart has been updated to support more variables and features ; the
|
|
|
|
|
previous driver is however still available as 'apcsmart-old', in case of
|
|
|
|
|
issues.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- bcmxcp now supports per outlet startup and shutdown delays setting ; shutdown
|
|
|
|
|
delay is also used, when available, for outlet.n.shutdown.return instead of
|
|
|
|
|
the default 3 seconds.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- snmp-ups.c has a new initialization method, that uses sysObjectID, which is
|
2022-07-10 10:23:45 +03:00
|
|
|
a pointer to the preferred MIB of the device, to detect supported devices.
|
2011-09-29 21:14:46 +03:00
|
|
|
This speeds up even more init stage and should render void the use of 'mib'
|
2022-07-10 10:23:45 +03:00
|
|
|
option. SNMP v3 session initialization has also been fixed, and Eaton PDU
|
2011-09-29 21:14:46 +03:00
|
|
|
support has been completed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Initial support has been added for systemd, the System and Service Manager
|
|
|
|
|
from RedHat.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- The chapter 'NUT configuration management with Augeas' of the developer guide
|
|
|
|
|
has received some completion: a complete Python Augeas example code is now
|
|
|
|
|
provided.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Finally, after years of dedication to NUT, Arjen de Korte is now retired.
|
|
|
|
|
Sincere thanks to you Arjen from us all.

|
|
|
|
|
|
- NUT now embeds Python client support through the PyNUTClient module and the
|
|
|
|
|
NUT-Monitor application. Both are from David Goncalves, and are still
|
|
|
|
|
available from http://www.lestat.st.
|
|
|
|
|
For more information, refer to scripts/python/README.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- the dummy-ups driver now support a "repeater" mode. This allows it to act as
|
|
|
|
|
a NUT client, and to forward data. This can be useful for supervision and
|
|
|
|
|
load sharing purposes.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- tcp-wrappers support has been added to the upsd server, to grant users access
|
|
|
|
|
by source IP for commands that require to be logged into the server. This
|
|
|
|
|
replaces the previous internal implementation (ACL in upsd.conf).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- the nut.conf file has been introduced to standardize startup configuration
|
|
|
|
|
across the various systems.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- NUT now ships a bash completion function for 'upsc' command
|
|
|
|
|
(scripts/misc/nut.bash_completion). Simply copy it to /etc/bash_completion.d
|
2022-07-10 10:23:45 +03:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- many internal changes to improve maintainability, while lowering the
|
2010-03-26 01:20:59 +02:00
|
|
|
maintenance cost (thus allowing developers to focus on what matters: the
|
|
|
|
|
code!). Examples of this are:
|
|
|
|
|
- the USB information automatic extraction to generate the various USB helper
|
|
|
|
|
files,
|
|
|
|
|
- the upsdrv_info_t structure to track more driver information, and remove
|
|
|
|
|
the need for the upsdrv_banner() function
|
|
|
|
|
- common USB code refactoring, as it is done for the serial functions.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- tons of bugfixes, cleanup and improvements to make NUT stronger than ever!

|
|
|
- Integrated Power Management (NUT HAL integration) has reached a
|
|
|
|
|
major milestone: it is now the most advanced UPS integration into
|
|
|
|
|
Power Management layer known in existing OSs. It has received many
|
|
|
|
|
corrections and improvements, and allows to PowerOff the UPS at the
|
|
|
|
|
end of a power cycle (which is the most important feature, not
|
|
|
|
|
supported on other systems).
|
|
|
|
|
The various files are now installed into the correct location.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- the usbhid-ups driver has received attention. Most notably, the
|
|
|
|
|
shutdown handling has been reworked, and support for MGE UPS SYSTEMS
|
|
|
|
|
3 phases units has been added.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
The ambient.temperature reporting has also been fixed for units
|
|
|
|
|
other than APC.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- the netxml-ups driver has appeared to support MGE* network HTTP/XML
|
|
|
|
|
cards.
|

|
|
|
|
2010-03-26 01:20:59 +02:00
|
|
|
- NUT now distributes by default the shared version of libupsclient
|
|
|
|
|
(version 1.0.0), and use this for the provided clients (upsmon, upsc,
|
|
|
|
|
upsrw, upscmd). This is part of an effort to reduce NUT's footprint,
|
|
|
|
|
both on disk and in memory.
|

Release notes for NUT 2.0.0 - what's new since 1.4.x:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- The new naming scheme for variables and commands (introduced in 1.4)
|
|
|
|
|
is now mandatory. The 1.4 tree supported both the old (STATUS) and
|
|
|
|
|
the new (ups.status) as a transitional release, and now that time is
|
|
|
|
|
over.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This means that 2.0 is generally smaller than 1.4 code, since the
|
|
|
|
|
interim compatibility hacks have been removed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- New serial handling code has been added, with greatly simplified
|
2022-07-10 10:23:45 +03:00
|
|
|
operations. The old mess involving repeated calls to sigaction,
|
|
|
|
|
alarm, and read has been condensed to a select-read loop.
|
2010-03-26 01:20:59 +02:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This change allows drivers which don't do any serial communications
|
|
|
|
|
at all (hidups, snmp-ups) to drop that baggage, so they are a bit
|
|
|
|
|
smaller when compiled.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- The drivers now recognize "chroot=' and 'user=' in the global section
|
|
|
|
|
of ups.conf. This means you don't have to use -r and -u when
|
|
|
|
|
starting upsdrvctl.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- upsmon now supports the -K argument to check for the presence of the
|
|
|
|
|
POWERDOWNFLAG file. If it exists and contains the magic string, then
|
|
|
|
|
upsmon will exit(EXIT_SUCCESS). Otherwise, it will
|
|
|
|
|
exit(EXIT_FAILURE).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This feature can be used to simplify shutdown scripts, since now you
|
|
|
|
|
don't have to keep the script in sync with the upsmon.conf.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Many small things like signed value comparisons, int vs. size_t and
|
|
|
|
|
proper use of const/struct were fixed throughout the source. These
|
|
|
|
|
were mostly for correctness, but a few potential bugs involving very
|
|
|
|
|
big or very small numbers were fixed at the same time.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- The access control system in upsd.conf has been reworked and
|
|
|
|
|
simplified. Since access levels have become meaningless in recent
|
|
|
|
|
releases, the new system is just ACCEPT <acl> or REJECT <acl>.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you are upgrading from a previous version of the software, you
|
|
|
|
|
will have to edit your upsd.conf to use this method. See
|
|
|
|
|
the UPGRADING file for more details.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- The build process now halts when make fails in one of the
|
|
|
|
|
subdirectories.
|
|
|
|
|
[Petter Reinholdtsen, Charles Lepple]
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Helper data for using upsclient via pkgconfig is now created if
|
|
|
|
|
pkgconfig is detected when configure runs.
|
|
|
|
|
[Arnaud Quette]
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- The polling interval in drivers may now be set with 'pollinterval'
|
|
|
|
|
in ups.conf.

|
|
|
experimental driver.
|
|
|
|
|
[Viktor T. Toth]
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- The newhidups driver has been merged as the first step towards
|
2022-07-10 10:23:45 +03:00
|
|
|
portable USB UPS support. This will eventually replace the old
|
2010-03-26 01:20:59 +02:00
|
|
|
Linux-only hidups driver. The newhidups driver is tagged
|
|
|
|
|
experimental since it is under active development.
|
|
|
|
|
[Arnaud Quette, Charles Lepple]
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- The newapc driver has been renamed to apcsmart, replacing the old
|
2022-07-10 10:23:45 +03:00
|
|
|
driver with that name. If you used the newapc driver, be sure to
|
2010-03-26 01:20:59 +02:00
|
|
|
delete the old binary and fix your ups.conf.

- The apcsmart driver now supports asynchronous notification data
|
|
|
|
|
from the hardware, which means it can wake up as soon as something
|
|
|
|
|
happens. This affects the OL/OB/LB/RB data in ups.status, and
|
|
|
|
|
generally reduces the latency in dispatching status changes by a few
|
|
|
|
|
seconds.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- The apcsmart driver can now support quirky hardware which does not
|
|
|
|
|
provide the usual listing of valid command characters. This feature
|
|
|
|
|
is necessary to monitor new models like the APC CS 350 and old ones
|
|
|
|
|
like the Matrix 5000. It also now has sdtype=4 to handle the strange
|
|
|
|
|
shutdown behavior on the CS series.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- The belkin driver now works around broken firmware version 001,
|
|
|
|
|
avoiding a lengthy delay at startup. It also implements the shutdown
|
|
|
|
|
sequence differently, and should actually work on more hardware now.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- The bestups driver has been slowed down to play nicer with the
|
|
|
|
|
hardware, and is much more reliable as a result. Among other things,
|
|
|
|
|
it should always detect the UPS on the first try, meaning no more
|
|
|
|
|
"dot dot dot" when it starts.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- The cyberpower driver is no longer tagged experimental, and now
|
|
|
|
|
supports powering off the load. It also supports battery tests via
|
|
|
|
|
instcmds.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Effekta MT 2000 RM hardware is now supported by the fentonups driver.

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- The new safenet driver supports UPS hardware that uses the protocol
|
|
|
|
|
of the same name. This includes models from many manufacturers,
|
|
|
|
|
including Fairstone, Fenton, Gemini, Powerwell, Repotec, Soltec and
|
|
|
|
|
Sweex. See the README or driver.list for the full details.
|
|

|
[Arjen de Korte]
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- The genericups driver now has type 20 to monitor the Powerware 5119
|
|
|
|
|
RM. See http://lists.exploits.org/ups/Oct2003/00052.html.
|
|
|
|
|
[Daniel Thompson]
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- The belkinunv driver has been added to allow monitoring Belkin
|
|
|
|
|
Universal UPS hardware.
|
|
|
|
|
[Peter Selinger]
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Cyber Power Systems 1100AVR hardware which has a different protocol
|
|
|
|
|
than the existing binary type (supported by 'cyberpower') is now
|
|
|
|
|
supported by the experimental cyberpower1100 driver.
|
|
|
|
|
[Walt Holman]
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- upsdrvctl now returns success or failure information in the exit
|
|
|
|
|
code. Any failure during a requested operation will result in a
|
|
|
|
|
nonzero value (specifically EXIT_FAILURE).

Release notes for NUT 1.4.0 - what's new since 1.2.x:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- The drivers and upsd now communicate over Unix domain sockets instead
|
|
|
|
|
of state files, shared memory, or state files with mmap. This change
|
|
|
|
|
makes many things possible, including the new dynamic variable and
|
|
|
|
|
command naming scheme described below.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
There is a new development tool called sockdebug in the server
|
|
|
|
|
directory for debugging driver-server communications on the sockets.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- The old static variable scheme has been replaced by a new dynamic
|
|
|
|
|
implementation. Vague names have been turned into meaningful names
|
|
|
|
|
that fit into an organized system. UTILITY is now input.voltage.
|
|
|
|
|
OUTVOLT is now output.voltage.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This also applies to the names of instant commands. BTEST1 is
|
|
|
|
|
test.battery.start, and BTEST0 is test.battery.stop.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The old names are still supported for compatibility with older
|
|
|
|
|
clients. This compatibility mode will be maintained throughout
|
|
|
|
|
the 1.4 series, and will be gone by the release of 2.0. Users
|
|
|
|
|
with older clients are encouraged to upgrade their software
|
|
|
|
|
during this time.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- The network protocol has been expanded to handle these new names.
|
|
|
|
|
Older functions which only apply to the old names will continue to
|
|
|
|
|
be supported through the 1.4 series.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- The drivers and server (upsd) can now change their user ids and
|
|
|
|
|
chroot themselves with the new -u and -r arguments. This lets you
|
|
|
|
|
create a "chroot jail" with the bare minimum components.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This technique is used to provide a higher degree of security. If
|
|
|
|
|
someone exploited upsd to get a shell somehow, they would be stuck
|
|
|
|
|
in the jail.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- upssched now explicitly confirms reception of timer commands before
|
|
|
|
|
exiting. This was done to avoid a race where one process would
|
2022-07-10 10:23:45 +03:00
|
|
|
exit right when another one was starting. The second one would
|
|
|
|
|
believe its command had been handled when it had been lost.
|
2010-03-26 01:20:59 +02:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- upslog has been reworked to use standard getopt parsing to provide
|
|
|
|
|
the monitoring settings. The old way of specifying arguments is
|
|
|
|
|
still supported for backwards compatibility.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
upslog has also been changed to only parse the format string once,
|
2022-07-10 10:23:45 +03:00
|
|
|
rather than doing it every time through the loop. This should
|
|
|
|
|
provide a minuscule drop in CPU utilization.
|
2010-03-26 01:20:59 +02:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Usernames are now required in upsmon and upsd. This means that you
|
|
|
|
|
must add a username to your MONITOR lines in upsmon.conf and then
|
2022-07-10 10:23:45 +03:00
|
|
|
create a matching user in upsd.users.
|
2010-03-26 01:20:59 +02:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Installations from the 1.2 era probably already use usernames, so
|
|
|
|
|
this mostly affects those from 1.0 and before.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Drivers are now pinged regularly by upsd when they aren't posting
|
|
|
|
|
updates about the UPS status. This provides another check in the
|
|
|
|
|
data validation process. If upsd fails to get a response within
|
|
|
|
|
a few seconds, the UPS will be marked stale.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- A few minor memory leaks were discovered with valgrind and squashed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- upsstats now reuses connections to upsd when cycling through multiple
|
|
|
|
|
entries in the hosts.conf. This makes things a bit faster and
|
|
|
|
|
avoids some of the noise in the syslog.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This only applies to entries that are adjacent. To take advantage
|
|
|
|
|
of this feature, you may have to rearrange them.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
MONITOR ups-1@host-1 ...
|
|
|
|
|
MONITOR ups-1@host-2 ...
|
|
|
|
|
MONITOR ups-2@host-2 ...
|
|
|
|
|
MONITOR ups-3@host-3 ...
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Connection reuse for nonadjacent entries may be considered in the
|
|
|
|
|
future.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- upsd now warns about insecure configuration files at startup.
|
|
|
|
|
These files (upsd.conf, upsd.users, and the certfile) should
|
|
|
|
|
only be readable by upsd. Never make them world-readable.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- The programs no longer print "shutting down" when they are just
|
|
|
|
|
exiting. This was changed to avoid confusion about the term, since
|
|
|
|
|
"shutting down" has a special meaning in UPS software.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Signal handlers no longer do any significant amount of work. Some of
|
|
|
|
|
the programs used to do numerous things in there, raising concerns
|
2022-07-10 10:23:45 +03:00
|
|
|
about reentrancy. They now set flags and allow the main loop to do
|
2010-03-26 01:20:59 +02:00
|
|
|
the actual work from there.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- A bug in upsmon where NOTIFYFLAG settings could be ignored was fixed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Group handling has been changed. configure no longer accepts
|
|
|
|
|
--with-group, and the programs no longer setgid() to a hardcoded
|
2022-07-10 10:23:45 +03:00
|
|
|
value. They now setgid() to the primary group of whatever the
|
2010-03-26 01:20:59 +02:00
|
|
|
user value may be.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This may be compiled in with --with-user as before, and many programs
|
|
|
|
|
accept -u to override it at runtime.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- The state path is no longer created during 'make install'. Users
|
|
|
|
|
are now expected to create it themselves. This removes a lot of
|
|
|
|
|
evil complexity from the build and install sequences.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- upsd no longer implements the DROP access command, as it
|
|
|
|
|
could confuse the clients by getting them out of sync. DROP is now
|
|
|
|
|
implemented as DENY, which sends an error message. If you use DROP,
|
|
|
|
|
you should change it to DENY rather than relying on this
|
|
|
|
|
compatibility measure.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- The belkin driver no longer reports OFF and OL at the same time.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- The bestups driver no longer sleeps during polls, which makes it
|
|
|
|
|
more responsive to things like instant commands.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- The cyberpower driver now has much better hardware detection code
|
|
|
|
|
and no longer freezes at startup under some conditions. It also now
|
|
|
|
|
supports the shutdown function. Instant commands for shutdowns and
|
|
|
|
|
battery tests were also added.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- The dummyups testing driver has been removed. The dummycons testing
|
2022-07-10 10:23:45 +03:00
|
|
|
driver can do everything that dummyups once did and much more.
|
2010-03-26 01:20:59 +02:00
|
|
|
dummycons is also now built by default for easier testing.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- The newapc driver has been reworked to take advantage of the new
|
|
|
|
|
internal driver state functions. Some variables without an obvious
|
|
|
|
|
purpose were dropped.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- The newapc driver now sends all five bytes when using sdtype 1.
|
|
|
|
|
Previously it didn't send the entire string, and it didn't work.
|
|
|
|
|
[Don Lewis]
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- The hidups driver has been expanded to allow for setting variables,
|
|
|
|
|
a shutdown sequence, and more.
|
|
|
|
|
[Arnaud Quette]
|
|
|
|
|
|
2022-07-10 10:23:45 +03:00
|
|
|
- The mge-utalk driver had trouble establishing communications in
|
2010-03-26 01:20:59 +02:00
|
|
|
some cases due to the RTS line being set. This has been fixed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The mge-shut driver has been added to the tree, and has replaced
|
|
|
|
|
the older mge-ellipse driver.
|
|
|
|
|
[Arnaud Quette, Philippe Marzouk]
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Outlet-level control has been defined in the variable tree, and will
|
|
|
|
|
be added to drivers where the hardware supports it. This can be
|
|
|
|
|
used to shut down some components earlier than others to prolong
|
|
|
|
|
your runtime on battery.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This is supported in the mge-shut driver now, and may show up in
|
|
|
|
|
others before long.
|
|
|
|
|
[Arnaud Quette]
|
|
|
|
|
|
2022-07-10 10:23:45 +03:00
|
|
|
- KIN-2200AP hardware is now recognized by the powercom driver.
|
2010-03-26 01:20:59 +02:00
|
|
|
This change may also support other KIN-xxxxAP equipment.
|
|
|
|
|
[Preston A. Elder]
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- The 1.1kVA UPS is now supported by the bestuferrups driver. This
|
|
|
|
|
driver was also changed to allow easy addition of more models
|
|
|
|
|
in the future.
|
|
|
|
|
[Bob Apodaca]
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- The fentonups driver can now handle devices which implement the
|
|
|
|
|
"I" detection differently, and now supports the Giant/WELI 500
|
|
|
|
|
as a result.
|
|
|
|
|
[Joon Guillen]
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- The serial number of the UPS being monitored can now be specified
|
|
|
|
|
with serial= in ups.conf in the genericups driver.
|
|
|
|
|
[Shaul Karl]
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- The newapc driver now sends ESC to break out of menus when the
|
|
|
|
|
initial detection fails. Some new APC models have interactive menus
|
|
|
|
|
on the serial port, and the driver couldn't handle them before.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- The snmp-ups driver now reports ambient temperature and humidity
|
|
|
|
|
data for APC equipment. It also now supports the shutdown.reboot and
|
|
|
|
|
shutdown.reboot.graceful commands.
|
|
|
|
|
[Dmitry Frolov]
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- The list of supported variables and commands in the snmp-ups driver
|
|
|
|
|
has been expanded.
|
|
|
|
|
[Arnaud Quette, J.W. Hoogervorst]
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Various drivers now report bypass mode with the BYP status word.
|
|
|
|
|
[Arnaud Quette]
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Energy Sistem equipment is now supported with the esupssmart driver.
|
|
|
|
|
[Antonio Trujillo Coronado]
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- The Tripp-Lite SU series (SmartOnline) is supported with the new
|
|
|
|
|
tripplitesu driver.
|
|
|
|
|
[Allan Hessenflow]
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- The HP PowerTrust A2994A is now recognized by the hp driver.
|
|
|
|
|
[Jan Sporbeck]
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Many drivers were cleaned up to perform basic sanity checks on the
|
|
|
|
|
status data before using it.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- An explicit cleanup function has been added to the driver core to
|
|
|
|
|
ensure that all dynamic resources are freed before exiting. This
|
|
|
|
|
is part of the larger process to check for memory leaks and other
|
|
|
|
|
bad things.
|
|
|
|
|
[Arnaud Quette]
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- upsd now provides variable descriptions from an auxiliary file.
|
|
|
|
|
This file is optional, which allows for a smaller memory footprint.
|
|
|
|
|
It can also be edited for localization or other customizations.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- upsimage and upsstats can now render BATTVOLT data.
|
|
|
|
|
[Andrew R. Ghali]
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- String handling has been cleaned up throughout the tree. Calls to
|
|
|
|
|
functions like strcpy and strcat were either replaced with other
|
|
|
|
|
(range-checking) functions or were rewritten to avoid it.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Many compile-time defaults may now be overridden at runtime. In
|
|
|
|
|
the environment NUT_CONFPATH and NUT_STATEPATH may be used.
|
|
|
|
|
upsdrvctl has been changed to execve to pass these along to the
|
|
|
|
|
drivers. ups.conf now supports driverpath=, and upsd.conf supports
|
|
|
|
|
DATAPATH.
|
|
|
|
|
[Bryan Henderson]
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- The configure --with-gd switches now actually do something useful
|
|
|
|
|
when gd has been installed outside the default search directories.
|
|
|
|
|
[Patrik Schindler]
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- The inline keyword is now handled properly on systems which do not
|
|
|
|
|
support it or have it specified as another name. This was breaking
|
|
|
|
|
compiles on some systems.

Release notes for NUT 1.2.2 - what's new since 1.2.1:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- The snmp-ups driver has been upgraded and expanded. It now supports
|
|
|
|
|
multiple MIBs, meaning it can handle RFC 1628, APCC, and MGE
|
|
|
|
|
equipment. You can pick the right one with "mibs=" in ups.conf.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Support for setting variable and instant commands is also available.
|
|
|
|
|
[Arnaud Quette and Dmitry Frolov]
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- The powernet driver has been upgraded. It now supports more
|
|
|
|
|
variables, has cleaner logging, and may now be considered stable.
|
|
|
|
|
[Dmitry Frolov]
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- The hidups driver now supports physical port IDs. This avoids most
|
|
|
|
|
of the problems where the hiddev* names can jump around too easily.
|
|
|
|
|
It will now stay in the same place as long as you keep it plugged
|
|
|

into the same physical port. See the ChangeLog file for more details.

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- The hidups driver now also supports the MFR variable on APC
|
|
|
|
|
Back-UPS ES equipment.
|
|
|
|
|
[Jonathan A. Davis]
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- The sms driver has been updated to version 0.70.
|
|
|
|
|
[Marcio Gomes]
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- The bestups driver now recognizes Best Power Axxium Rackmount
|
|
|
|
|
equipment.
|
|
|
|
|
[Ales Casar]
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- The liebert driver now uses O_NONBLOCK, and should now work
|
|
|
|
|
consistently on OpenBSD as a result.
|
|
|
|
|
[Alex Cichowski]
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- The liebert driver also now uses debouncing logic on the status
|
2022-07-10 10:23:45 +03:00
|
|
|
lines. It was possible to get false readings that would start a
|
2010-03-26 01:20:59 +02:00
|
|
|
shutdown or just annoy users with excessive onbatt/online notify
|
|
|
|
|
messages. The new code forces the status to settle down for 3 polls
|
|
|
|
|
before accepting the new value.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This means that very short power events may not be detected. The
|
|
|
|
|
alternative is having your machine shut down just because it decided
|
|
|
|
|
to wiggle over to OB LB for a few seconds.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- upsmon has had the disconnect logic fixed so the "communications
|
|
|
|
|
lost" (COMMBAD) notify will actually go out when the connection
|
|
|
|
|
fails.
|
|
|

|
[Steve Monett]
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- upssched now uses a lock file to prevent a race where two could
|
|
|
|
|
start at the same time. The second upssched would "win", and the
|
|
|
|
|
first one would be unreachable. This had the side-effect of not
|
|
|
|
|
being able to cancel timers on the first one.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you use upssched, you must define the LOCKFN directive when
|
|
|
|
|
upgrading to this version, or it will not work.

[Gaspar Bakos]
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- The packaging and scripts for Red Hat systems have been updated.
|
|
|
|
|
[Antonino Albanese]
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- upsd is now a bit more lenient about access levels in the
|
|
|
|
|
'numlogins' check, which is what caused the problem in upsmon
|
|
|
|
|
(next item).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- upsmon no longer gets stuck in slavesync() when upsd is configured
|
|
|
|
|
to drop certain queries. This usually happened at the worst
|
|
|
|
|
possible time: in the middle of a shutdown.
|
|
|
|
|
[John David Garza]
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- The upsclient functions now do more sanity checking on data from
|
|
|
|
|
upsd so a short read won't return garbage to the callers.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- upsset now works properly with ENUM/VARTYPE values for multiple
|
|
|
|
|
UPSes on a single upsd.
|
|
|
|
|
[Dmitry Frolov]
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Various portability fixes for building on SGI were applied.
|
|
|
|
|
[Andrea Suatoni]
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- upsd no longer tries to reference a deleted client structure if the
|
|
|
|
|
client disconnects at the wrong time. Previously, it tried to use
|
2022-07-10 10:23:45 +03:00
|
|
|
that pointer after the sendback() function had already failed on
|
2010-03-26 01:20:59 +02:00
|
|
|
write and deleted the client. This could cause upsd to segfault
|
|
|
|
|
depending on what areas were accessed.

Release notes for NUT 1.2.1 - what's new since 1.2.0:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- The sms driver is back, with support for Microlink Manager III
|
|
|
|
|
hardware. [Marcio Gomes]
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Fideltronik Ares Series hardware is now supported as genericups type
|
|
|
|
|
19. [Tomek Orzechowski and Arkadiusz Mikiewicz]
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- The drivers no longer silently drop instant commands or set commands
|
|
|
|
|
from upsd that happen to get fragmented in transit.
|
|
|
|
|
[linux@horizon.com]
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- The old multilink driver is back with a new name: liebert. It
|
|
|
|
|
supports Liebert UPStation GXE hardware with the contact-closure
|
|
|
|
|
cable. This is currently an experimental driver as there is no
|
2022-07-10 10:23:45 +03:00
|
|
|
way to power down the load.
|
2010-03-26 01:20:59 +02:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- configure now picks up the right flags for gd automatically if gd
|
|
|
|
|
2.0.8 or higher is installed. This greatly simplifies the CGI build
|
|
|
|
|
process for most users.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Shutdowns on FreeBSD using the genericups driver should work again.
