Changes since nut-2.0.3:
- The newhidups critical bug (segmentation fault) has been fixed. It has
also received some more care, like buxfixes and new models support and
enhancement for Solaris.
- A bug has been fixed in NUT core to support resuming from suspend-to-disk.
This should also fix other similar issues, like time synchronisation
through the NTP - Network Time Protocol.
- The mge-shut driver now better detects the Low Battery status, support
new models and fixes some wrong status and data. It also fixes some
issue where the UPS wasn't restarting (refer to mge-shut manpage).
- The genericups custom configuration through ups.conf is working again.
- The genericups driver type 22 also support CyberPower 725SL
(and maybe others SL models).
- The new megatec driver, which will replace a bunch of drivers by nut 2.2
(refer to docs/megatec.txt and UPGRADING) has been backported from the
trunk (Development tree). The powermust driver has also received some
attention.
- The new rhino driver was added to support Microsol Rhino UPS hardware
The solis has also been improved for solaris compatibility, and
internal / external shutdown programming. solis can now save external
shutdown programming to ups, and support new cables for solis 3.
- Several fixes and improvements have been made to upsrw, upsset,
cpsups, tripplite_usb and the FAQ.
From UPGRADING:
- users of the following drivers (powermust, blazer, fentonups, mustek,
esupssmart, ippon, sms, masterguard) are encouraged to switch to megatec,
which should replace all these drivers by nut 2.2. For more information,
please refer to doc/megatec.txt
Numerous changes (see NEWS for full list), including:
* Updated support for various UPS models, including porting various
drivers to the 2.0 tree.
* Call varargs functions with "%s" instead of raw strings from config files.
And always is defined as share/examples/rc.d
which was the default before.
This rc.d scripts are not automatically added to PLISTs now also.
So add to each corresponding PLIST as required.
This was discussed on tech-pkg in late January and late April.
Todo: remove the RCD_SCRIPTS_EXAMPLEDIR uses in MESSAGES and elsewhere
and remove the RCD_SCRIPTS_EXAMPLEDIR itself.
the RCD_SCRIPTS rc.d script(s) to the PLIST.
This GENERATE_PLIST idea is part of Greg A. Woods'
PR #22954.
This helps when the RC_SCRIPTS are installed to
a different ${RCD_SCRIPTS_EXAMPLEDIR}. (Later,
the default RCD_SCRIPTS_EXAMPLEDIR will be changed
to be more clear that they are the examples.)
These patches also remove the etc/rc.d/ scripts from PLISTs
(of packages that use RCD_SCRIPTS). (This also removes
now unused references from openssh* makefiles. Note that
qmail package has not been changed yet.)
I have been doing automatic PLIST registration for RC_SCRIPTS
for over a year. Not all of these packages have been tested,
but many have been tested and used.
Somethings maybe to do:
- a few packages still manually install the rc.d scripts to
hard-coded etc/rc.d. These need to be fixed.
- maybe remove from mk/${OPSYS}.pkg.dist mtree specifications too.
Many changes, including
* various configuation file format changes
* most UPS drivers enhanced
* upsmon/upssched support a lockfile
* chroot jails supported
* various bugfixes

(refer to CHANGES in the distribution, or
http://www.exploits.org/nut/release/new-0.45.4.txt
and
http://www.exploits.org/nut/release/new-0.45.5.txt
for a detailed list)
- upsd can reload its config files on the fly.
- 'upsdrvctl status' will check for presence of pid files
- upsd can be stopped with 'upsd -c stop'
- newpowercom driver added
- cyberpower driver added
- more man pages
- various bug fixes
Also replace rc.d scripts with much better ones by Luke Mewburn
<lukem@wasabisystems.com> that were slightly editted by me to have some
minimal functionality on pre-rc.d systems.
notable new features:
- upsdrvctl has more options. You can now say "stop" to stop all drivers, or
"stop <ups>" to stop just one. Also, "start <ups>" to just start one is
now supported.
- lots of man pages
- newapc driver converted to new framework
- new masterguard ups driver
- fentonups driver now recognizes the PowerCom SMK-800A
- bestups driver now does proper locking on the serial port
