Technical notes on version 3.9.6 19 October 2001 Kern Sibbald General: - Many improvements and enhancements to the manual. - Generated PDF version of the manual that can be found in <src>/doc/manual/apcupsd.pdf - Tested Smart UPS, USB UPS, and Dumb UPS successfully. - Implement a smtp program to permit email messages from WinNT/Win2000 machines. Changes submitted this submission: - Corrected a bug in multimon reported by a user that prevented display of Temperature in Farenheit. - Added code for APC Smart-UPS 370Ci as provided by a user (slightly modified). - Modified the dumb driver to work correctly. This code needs additional testing/checking as I did not have the time for a full audit. - Added a few changes to the new net driver that interfaces to an NIS server. Much work remains to be done to get it working properly. For the moment, it is in Riccardo's hands. - Added the build date to apcupsd.conf.in - Created a simple program in the examples directory called upsapm.c, which returns the string as expected by the kernel for an APM device. The format of the string is the same a found in /proc/apm. This program allows the user to run the Battery applet and have it report the status of his UPS. - Wrote an smtp program that allows sending of email messages. This program will work in a service context on WinNT and Win2000 machines, as well as everywhere else. - Updated the win32 examples to use the smtp program.
