In ipmiutil-1.8.0 and later, two major new features are provided:
  1) The 'ipmiutil' meta-command, which may be more user-friendly for some 
     users, and maintains the existing syntax for each sub-command.  
  2) Support for IPMI LAN 2.0 RMCP+ in both Linux and Windows.  Support for 
     IPMI LAN 1.5 or 2.0 is detected by default, or can be explicitly 
     specified/forced with the -Flan2 option.

In ipmiutil-1.7.5 and later, this project no longer depends upon libfreeipmi.so,
since ipmilan.c and ipmidir.c replace that functionality, so the utilities are 
now more portable.

In ipmiutil-1.5.0 and later, this project includes support for the FreeIPMI
library, which has KCS and IPMI LAN protocols.

The ipmiutil project includes parallel HPI utilities also as a 
separate tarball.
