/***************************************************************************/
----> Release apcupsd-3.10.5 (03 Feb 2003)
03Feb03
- Added an avsnprinf() routine.
- Replaced all vsprintf() calls with avsnprintf() to close a
master/slave exploit that was published.
- Remove awk processing of halt script for Mandrake as suggested by
David Walser.
02Feb03
- Corrected --enable-oldnet to be --enable-master-slave as I
had intended. Thanks to David Walser for pointing this out.
- Added David Walser's apcupsd.spec.in for Mandrake and his
changes to configure.in.
----> Release apcupsd-3.10.4 (28 Jan 2003)
28Jan03
- Fixed a lot of problems in the Win32 build (improper #ifdefing,
missing prototypes, inet_pton not properly ifdeffed. Header files
that are not available, ...)
- Modified make distclean to remove CVS directories (or most of them).
21Jan03
- Added error messages if old master/slave code called.
- Reworked the messages for ./configure --help to be aligned and
clearer for networking and master/slave
- A number of important patches all supplied by Mirko Doelle.
- Moved technotes for 2001 and 2002 into respective directories.
- Created a new kes-3.10.4 file to which I will append if there
are additional changes to 3.10.4. This will reduce the number
of release note files.
Changes submitted this submission:
19Jan03
- Fixed hangs in usb driver startup when could not open port by
releasing the ups structure lock before the Error_abort calls.
Thanks to Mirko Doelle for reporting this.
- Fixed the default path for mkinstalldirs from $(topdir) to
$(topdir)/autoconf. Reported by Mirko.
- Fixed configure.in to always create platform/apccontrol. Previously
it was not being created for Debian. Reported by Mirko.
- Removed Debian specific installation of apccontrol. Reported by
Mirko.
- Implemented code to display the apcupsd events with the most recent
first. Code sent by Mirko, but I modified it slightly.
----> Release apcupsd-3.10.3 (12 Dec 2002)
- Tried to correct problems with Makefiles
- Thanks to David Walser who pointed out where on the Sun, the make
install was doing terrible things -- I found that there was
a missing semicolon in the new Makefile. Before my previous cleanup,
there were actually 4 missing semicolons. Hopefully this
will correct the problem.
- For a second time, David Walser came to the rescue finding the
CGI install problem reported by lots of people. The new code
used "make" instead of $(MAKE) to call the CGI make. Fixed.
Changes submitted this submission:
- Removed Makefile code that creates and sets permission bits on
/tmp $(prefix) and $(exec-prefix)
- Removed all occurrences of -z in the Makefiles (at least that I
found) and replaced them with a more conservative formulation.
- Removed the install-symlinks script that caused some problems
on distributions with blanks in the DISTVER name.
- Added install-symlinks to the suse Makefile.in. This is the
only platform that currently uses it.
----> Release apcupsd-3.10.2 (08 Nov 2002)
- New cable design for BackUPS CS models to run it
in Smart serial mode.
- Corrected a major bug in the smart and net code where the
status word was getting clobbered.
Changes submitted this submission:
- A few days ago, slither_man sent me an email with some
information on how to run a BackUPS CS in smart mode with
a serial cable. He found the information by assuming that
the UPS supported Smart mode and through trial and error.
Well, it works!!!!!!! Amazing!!!! Thanks slither_man.
- Documentation for new CUSTOM-RJ54 cable that can be constructed
from the end of an ethernet cable and a DB9F connector.
- Changed all the MAIL instances in shell scripts into APCUPSD_MAIL.
This helps keep separated the apcupsd specific shell variables from
the generic $MAIL shell variable that points to the user's mailbox:
riccardo@ao:~> echo $MAIL
/var/spool/mail/riccardo
riccardo@ao:~>
An user reported that ./configure script transformed internal $MAIL
executable program into her mailbox path. This may happen if the
configure suite is broken (thing that I don't want to check further).
That said, APCUPSD_MAIL now should always correctly point to the
system default mail client program.
- Made so that error_cleanup is a generic function called by the
generic error handlers. Now if you want specific error_cleanup
you don't need to write also specific error handlers, provided
that error_cleanup don't accept parameters (i.e.
specific_error_cleanup(void)) but if you want to have a specific
error_cleanup with parameters you _must_ also write specific
error_exit and error_out into which you will call the specific
error_cleanup with parameters.
- Made so that error_exit and error_out are generic handlers that
can be assigned, if needed, to specific handlers by the main() of
each program. If not, the Error* routines will use the generic
versions in apclib.a.
- Fixed wrong "true" usage in powerflute.
- Cleaned up the terminate() functions.
- Made DeviceVendor part of snmp DEVICE case insensitive.
----> Release apcupsd-3.10.1 (16 Sep 2002)
- Fixed a filling error with USB status dword.
- Fixed autoconf check and dependances of -lpanel,etc with -lncurses.
- Made more portable the apccontrol external scripts when calling the
mailer (subject is now in the echo lines instead of relying on the
presence of a -s switch on the mailer).
- Added gentoo platform.
- Added DESTDIR variable for platform packaging.
- Fixed a off-by-one problem in events table.
- Conditional compilation of old and new network code. Old network code
disabled by default while new network code enabled by default.
- Removed old src/apcnet.c.old, old implementation of old networking.
----> Release apcupsd-3.10.0 (28 Jul 2002)
- Added documentation for SNMP UPSes. Documented the use of
--kill-on-powerfail switch during shutdown.
- SuSE 8.0 is now supported.
- Added forward declaration of inet_pton and localtime_r when they
are extraobj.
- Added inet_pton function. Implementation from Internet Software
Consortium.
- Made sp_flags private to the dumb driver.
- Can't SET/CLEAR multiple flags: do them one by one. Fixed this
bug in SNMP driver.
- Added 127A and 128A cables support for dumb UPSes.
- Implemented killpower for PowerNet MIB.
- Implemented the SNMP driver for APC's PowerNet MIB.
- Restructured UPSINFO so that now all the flags are contained
into the Status bitmap.
- *BSD should compile cleanly again.
- Source tree is now under CVS revision control.
- Added support for listening on specific IP addresses/subnets in
NIS server, from Troy.
- Doc updates, from Kern.
----> Release apcupsd-3.9.9 (18 May 2002)
- Applied final Kern's patch.
- Added a little program 'devicedbg' to help in debugging device
drivers with gdb. To compile, 'make devicedbg' in src/.
- Cygwin platform added (reorganized old cygwin files).
- Darwin platform added.
- compile line is 'gcc -c -g -O2 -I../include apcaction.c'.
- reviewed all the platform makefiles.
- use system libgd, searching for include files in system include dirs.
- in case system does not have libgd, uses provided libgd.
- put gd1.2 into master's contrib directory and a message if gd1.2
is not present into src/gd1.2 (like default distribution will not)
is issued at configure time to get gd1.2 from contrib and extract it
into the src/ directory. Re-run config and all will be good and happy.
- Sources reorganization.
- Mandrake platform added.
----> Release apcupsd-3.9.8 (27 January 2002)
- New drivers layer adds new keywords to the UPSTYPE configuration
variable (dumb, apcsmart, usb, snmp, net, and test). NOTE! only the
first three are currently functional. All the old UPSTYPE keywords
are translated into dumb or apcsmart for backward compatibility.
NOTE! snmp, net, and test drivers are experimental and thus
largely non-functional.
- Reorganized developers documentation inside an html manual
(Riccardo).
- Support SCO OpenServer.
- Includes all enhancements to the officially released versions through
3.8.5.
- Make drivers block a reasonable amount of
time (maximum 1 minute, minimum 1 second). Blocking is determined
by the state and functions requested.
- Many enhancements to the USB driver to support SmartUPSes (mostly).
- New code by Kamal to handle and truncate the events file.
- New smtp program to permit email messages from WinNT/Win2000 machines.
- Updates to apcaccess.
- New Dmsg() debug message code implemented.
- Include apctest Runtime Calibration feature.
----> Release apcupsd-3.9.4 Aug 13 2001
- Improvements in master/slave timeout detection and error messages.
- New master connect/disconnect events (accontrol).
- Additional master/slave documentation.
- Document USB.
- Updated manual to include ideas/suggestions received
from users installing 3.8.2.
- Fixed safe.apccontrol to be a bit more system independent
(thanks to Steven Orr for the idea).
- Added safe.apccontrol.in so that it is configured properly.
- Added a big warning message to the end of the ./configure
output if /usr/ucb is on your path.
- Fixed reference to lock file in Solaris apcupsd.in so it is
properly configured.
- Removed unused variable from Solaris apcupsd.in
- Added Makefile to examples directory
- Modified main Makefile.in to do clean and distclean of examples
- Additional documentation.
- Removed the sleep 2d from the halt script.
- Install apcupsd.conf with 644 permissions
- Add --disable-install-distdir ./configure option.
This allows easier installation of slaves or
multiple copies of apcupsd.
- Used makedepend if not gcc (Solaris fix).
- Set SO_REUSEADDR in slave machines.
- Add 940-0020C cable support (same as 20B).
- UPSNAME now sets upsname if given. Otherwise,
apcupsd attempts to get name from UPS, if not found,
uses hostname, finally "default".

- Implement Shutdown NIS status.
- Implement Slave NIS status.
- Correct SmartTrim and SmartBoost detection code.
- ./configure prints name of shutdown program.
- Add port to hosts.conf.
- Add new apccontrol arguments to script file.
- Add UPSNAME to RedHat apccontrol.
