This file lists changes that affect users who installed older versions
|
||||
of this software. When upgrading from an older version, be sure to
|
||||
check this file to see if you need to make changes to your system.
|
||||
|
||||
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
Changes from 2.4.2 to 2.4.3:
|
||||
|
||||
- nothing that affects upgraded systems.
|
||||
|
||||
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
Changes from 2.4.1 to 2.4.2:
|
||||
|
||||
- The default subdriver for the blazer_usb driver USB id 06da:0003 has
|
||||
changed. If you use such a device and it is no longer working with this
|
||||
driver, override the 'subdriver' default in 'ups.conf' (see man 8 blazer).
|
||||
- NUT ACL and the allowfrom mechanism has been replaced in 2.4.0 by the LISTEN
|
||||
directive and tcp-wrappers respectively. This information was missing
|
||||
below, so a double note has been added.
|
||||
|
||||
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
Changes from 2.4.0 to 2.4.1:
|
||||
|
||||
- nothing that affects upgraded systems.
|
||||
|
||||
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
Changes from 2.2.2 to 2.4.0:
|
||||
|
||||
- The nut.conf file has been introduced to standardize startup configuration
|
||||
across the various systems.
|
||||
- The cpsups and nitram drivers have been replaced by the powerpanel driver,
|
||||
and removed from the tree. The cyberpower driver may suffer the same in the
|
||||
future.
|
||||
- The al175 and energizerups drivers have been removed from the tree, since
|
||||
these were tagged broken for a long time.
|
||||
- Developers of external client application using libupsclient must rename
|
||||
their "UPSCONN" client structure to "UPSCONN_t".
|
||||
- The upsd server will now disconnect clients that remain silent for more than
|
||||
60 seconds.
|
||||
- The files under scripts/python/client are distributed under GPL 3+, whereas
|
||||
the rest of the files are distributed under GPL 2+. Refer to COPYING for more
|
||||
information.
|
||||
- The generated udev rules file has been renamed with dash only, no underscore
|
||||
anymore (ie 52-nut-usbups.rules instead of 52_nut-usbups.rules)
|
||||
- (Note: this has been missed at release time): The NUT internal network access
|
||||
control (ACL using ACCEPT / REJECT in upsd.conf) has been replaced by
|
||||
the LISTEN directive. This can also be complemented by tcp-wrappers.
|
||||
Refer to upsd and upsd.conf manual pages for more information.
|
||||
|
||||
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
Changes from 2.2.1 to 2.2.2:
|
||||
|
||||
- The configure option "--with-lib" has been replaced by "--with-dev".
|
||||
This enable the additional build and distribution of the static
|
||||
version of libupsclient, along with the pkg-config helper and manual
|
||||
pages. The default configure option is to distribute only the shared
|
||||
version of libupsclient. This can be overriden by using the
|
||||
"--disable-shared" configure option (distribute static only binaries).
|
||||
- The UPS poweroff handling of the usbhid-ups driver has been reworked.
|
||||
Though regression is not expected, users of this driver are
|
||||
encouraged to test this feature by calling "upsmon -c fsd" and
|
||||
report any issue on the NUT mailing lists.
|
||||
|
||||
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
Changes from 2.2.0 to 2.2.1:
|
||||
|
||||
- nothing that affects upgraded systems.
|
||||
(The below message is repetead due to previous omission)
|
||||
- Developers of external client application using libupsclient are
|
||||
encouraged to rename their "UPSCONN" client structure to "UPSCONN_t"
|
||||
since the former will disappear by the release of NUT 2.4.
|
||||
|
||||
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
Changes from 2.0.5 to 2.2.0:
|
||||
|
||||
- users of the newhidups driver are advised that the driver name has changed
|
||||
to usbhid-ups.
|
||||
- users of the hidups driver must switch to usbhid-ups.
|
||||
- users of the following drivers (powermust, blazer, fentonups, mustek,
|
||||
esupssmart, ippon, sms) must switch to megatec, which replaces
|
||||
all these drivers. Please refer to doc/megatec.txt for details.
|
||||
- users of the mge-shut driver are encouraged to test newmge-shut, which
|
||||
is an alternate driver scheduled to replace mge-shut,
|
||||
- users of the cpsups driver are encouraged to switch to powerpanel which
|
||||
is scheduled to replace cpsups,
|
||||
- packagers will have to rework the whole nut packaging due to the
|
||||
major changes in the build system (completely modified, and now using
|
||||
automake). Refer to packaging/debian/ for an example of migration.
|
||||
- specifying '-a <id>' is now mandatory when starting a driver manually,
|
||||
ie not using upsdrvctl.
|
||||
- Developers of external client application using libupsclient are
|
||||
encouraged to rename the "UPSCONN" client structure to "UPSCONN_t"
|
||||
since the former will disapear by the release of NUT 2.4.
|
||||
|
||||
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
Changes from 2.0.4 to 2.0.5:
|
||||
|
||||
- users of the newhidups driver: the driver is now more strict about
|
||||
refusing to connect to unknown devices. If your device was
|
||||
previously supported, but fails to be recognized now, add
|
||||
'productid=XXXX' to ups.conf. Please report the device to the NUT
|
||||
developer's mailing list.
|
||||
|
||||
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
Changes from 2.0.3 to 2.0.4:
|
||||
|
||||
- nothing that affects upgraded systems.
|
||||
- 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
|
||||
|
||||
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
Changes from 2.0.2 to 2.0.3:
|
||||
|
||||
- nothing that affects upgraded systems.
|
||||
- hidups users are encouraged to switch to newhidups, as hidups will be
|
||||
removed by nut 2.2.
|
||||
|
||||
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
Changes from 2.0.1 to 2.0.2:
|
||||
|
||||
- The newhidups driver, which is the long run USB support approach,
|
||||
needs hotplug files installed to setup the right permissions on
|
||||
device file to operate. Check newhidups manual page for more information.
|
||||
|
||||
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
Changes from 2.0.0 to 2.0.1:
|
||||
|
||||
- The cyberpower1100 driver is now called cpsups since it supports
|
||||
more than just one model. If you use this driver, be sure to remove
|
||||
the old binary and update your ups.conf 'driver=' setting with the
|
||||
new name.
|
||||
|
||||
- The upsstats.html template page has been changed slightly to reflect
|
||||
better HTML compliance, so you may want to update your installed copy
|
||||
accordingly. If you've customized your file, don't just copy the new
|
||||
one over it, or your changes will be lost!
|
||||
|
||||
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
Changes from 1.4.0 to 2.0.0:
|
||||
|
||||
- The sample config files are no longer installed by default. If you
|
||||
want to install them, use 'make install-conf' for the main programs,
|
||||
and 'make install-cgi-conf' for the CGI programs.
|
||||
|
||||
- ACCESS is no longer supported in upsd.conf. Use ACCEPT and REJECT.
|
||||
Changes from 2.4.3 to 2.6.0
|
||||
---------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
- users of the megatec and megatec_usb drivers must respectively switch to
|
||||
blazer_ser and blazer_usb.
|
||||
- users of the liebertgxt2 driver are advised that the driver name has changed
|
||||
to liebert-esp2.
|
||||
|
||||
Changes from 2.4.2 to 2.4.3
|
||||
---------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
- nothing that affects upgraded systems.

|
||||
and 'make install-cgi-conf' for the CGI programs.
|
||||
|
||||
- ACCESS is no longer supported in upsd.conf. Use ACCEPT and REJECT.
|
||||
Old way:
|
||||
|
||||
ACCESS grant all adminbox
|
||||
ACCESS grant all webserver
|
||||
ACCESS deny all all
|
||||
|
||||
New way:
|
||||
|
||||
ACCEPT adminbox
|
||||
ACCEPT webserver
|
||||
REJECT all
|
||||
|
||||
Note that ACCEPT and REJECT can take multiple arguments, so this
|
||||
will also work:
|
||||
|
||||
ACCEPT adminbox webserver
|
||||
REJECT all
|
||||
|
||||
- The drivers no longer support sddelay in ups.conf or -d on the
|
||||
command line. If you need a delay after calling 'upsdrvctl
|
||||
shutdown', add a call to sleep in your shutdown script.
|
||||
|
||||
- The templates used by upsstats have changed considerably to reflect
|
||||
the new variable names. If you use upsstats, you will need to
|
||||
install new copies or edit your existing files to use the new names.
|
||||
|
||||
- Nobody needed UDP mode, so it has been removed. The only users
|
||||
seemed to be a few people like me with ancient asapm-ups binaries.
|
||||
If you really want to run asapm-ups again, bug me for the new patch
|
||||
which makes it work with upsclient.
|
||||
|
||||
- 'make install-misc' is now 'make install-lib'. The misc directory
|
||||
has been gone for a long time, and the target was ambiguous.
|
||||
>>>>>>> switch UPGRADING information to AsciiDoc, and integrate these in the User Manual.
|
||||
|
||||
Old way:
|
||||
- The newapc driver has been renamed to apcsmart. If you previously
|
||||
used newapc, make sure you delete the old binary and fix your
|
||||
ups.conf. Otherwise, you may run the old driver from 1.4.
|
||||
|
||||
ACCESS grant all adminbox
|
||||
ACCESS grant all webserver
|
||||
ACCESS deny all all
|
||||
|
||||
New way:
|
||||
*** File trimmed here on changes from 1.2.2 to 1.4.0 ***
|
||||
|
||||
ACCEPT adminbox
|
||||
ACCEPT webserver
|
||||
REJECT all
|
||||
|
||||
Note that ACCEPT and REJECT can take multiple arguments, so this
|
||||
will also work:
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Changes from 1.2.2 to 1.4.0:
|
||||
|
||||
- The clients no longer support the notion of a "default UPS" when
|
||||
communicating with newer versions of upsd. If you leave off a UPS
|
||||
name, they will fall back on compatibility mode and will use the
|
||||
old variable and command names.
|
||||
|
||||
That is, "upsc localhost" will give you things like STATUS, and you
|
||||
have to do "upsc myups@localhost" to get the new ones like
|
||||
ups.status.
|
||||
|
||||
The old variable names and default UPS mode will be supported
|
||||
throughout the 1.4 series to allow users to convert to the new
|
||||
style. This support will be formally dropped in 2.0.
|
||||
|
||||
- upsmon is part of the "no default upsname" change. You must change
|
||||
the MONITOR directives in your upsmon.conf if you were using this
|
||||
technique before.
|
||||
|
||||
Old way:
|
||||
|
||||
MONITOR bigserver 1 monuser password master
|
||||
|
||||
New way:
|
||||
|
||||
MONITOR myups@bigserver 1 monuser password master
|
||||
|
||||
Just look at the top of ups.conf on 'bigserver' to figure out what
|
||||
the first UPS is called, and stick it and a @ on that MONITOR line.
|
||||
|
||||
- upsrw's appearance has changed to avoid wrapping when displaying
|
||||
the new longer variable names and descriptions. It still displays
|
||||
the old format when talking to an older upsd.
|
||||
|
||||
To see the difference, try "upsrw localhost" and then compare it to
|
||||
"upsrw myups@localhost", assuming a new version of upsd is running
|
||||
on localhost.
|
||||
|
||||
- upslog now uses the new variable names in the default format
|
||||
string. It will still monitor the old variable names for backwards
|
||||
compatibility, but you will have to specify the format string
|
||||
explicitly.
|
||||
|
||||
- 'make install' no longer creates the state path. Instructions for
|
||||
creating it properly have been added to the INSTALL file.
|
||||
|
||||
Technically, this only affects packagers, since this is the
|
||||
UPGRADING file and normal users should already have a state path.
|
||||
If you are a packager, you will need to add the right mkdir + chown +
|
||||
chmod magic to your install process to keep things working.
|
||||
|
||||
This also means that you no longer need any special permissions to
|
||||
bundle this software into a package. The installer no longer
|
||||
requires root now that the chown is gone.
|
||||
|
||||
- configure --with-group no longer does anything useful. The programs
|
||||
which will drop permissions support "-u <user>", and will pick up
|
||||
the group id based on the values in /etc/passwd for that user name.
|
||||
|
||||
configure --with-user still works as before, and provides the default
|
||||
value if you don't specify another one with -u.
|
||||
|
||||
- The "DROP" action in upsd.conf now behaves a little differently.
|
||||
|
||||
It still causes new TCP connections to be closed without reading
|
||||
from the socket, and still causes UDP datagrams to be ignored.
|
||||
|
||||
The only difference is that commands that are denied after the
|
||||
remote host connects will now generate an error message. Previously,
|
||||
upsd would just ignore them, and the clients could get out of sync.
|
||||
|
||||
DENY also has been changed slightly to silently ignore UDP packets.
|
||||
|
||||
Essentially, DROP and DENY are now the same thing. If you use DROP
|
||||
anywhere, you should change to DENY before it goes away in the future.
|
||||
|
||||
- upsmon now requires a username on the MONITOR lines. If you have an
|
||||
older installation from the 1.x era or earlier, you probably need
|
||||
to convert them.
|
||||
|
||||
Old way: MONITOR ups@mybox 1 mypass master
|
||||
New way: MONITOR ups@mybox 1 username mypass master
|
||||
|
||||
You will also have to add a [username] section to the upsd.users
|
||||
with a matching password, an allowfrom value, and "upsmon master" or
|
||||
"upsmon slave".
|
||||
|
||||
If upsmon says the login failed due to "username required" or fails to
|
||||
start, saying "Unable to use old-style MONITOR line without a username",
|
||||
then you're still using the old method.
|
||||
|
||||
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Changes from 1.2.1 to 1.2.2:
|
||||
|
||||
- upssched.conf now requires the LOCKFN directive to prevent races when
|
||||
handling two events that happen at nearly the same time.
|
||||
|
||||
If you use upssched, you must add this to your upssched.conf or it
|
||||
will fail to run.
|
||||
|
||||
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Changes from 1.0.0 to 1.2.0:
|
||||
|
||||
- upsct is gone. upsc now uses the new upsclient library which is
|
||||
TCP only, so there is no need for a separate client for TCP polling.
|
||||
|
||||
- upsct2 has been renamed to upsrw since the name was already
|
||||
ambiguous and it looked even more out of place with upsct gone.
|
||||
|
||||
- The multimon.cgi behavior has been absorbed into upsstats.cgi.
|
||||
|
||||
- Calling upsstats.cgi with no arguments will make it render
|
||||
the template file called upsstats.html in your confpath. The default
|
||||
version of this file looks a lot like multimon, but is flexible.
|
||||
You will have to copy this file from upsstats.html.sample to
|
||||
upsstats.html the first time you install this version.
|
||||
|
||||
- Calling upsstats.cgi with host= set will still render a single status
|
||||
page as before, but the markup for that page now comes from
|
||||
upsstats-single.html. This is also a template and may be
|
||||
reconfigured to suit your needs. It must also be copied over from
|
||||
the .sample filename the first time.
|
||||
|
||||
- upsmon can now send a username when authenticating to upsd. It is
|
||||
recommended that you change to this mode, as the old host-based
|
||||
authentication is clunky and eventually will be removed.
|
||||
|
||||
Old way:
|
||||
|
||||
MONITOR myups@bigserver 1 blah master
|
||||
|
||||
New way:
|
||||
|
||||
MONITOR myups@bigserver 1 monmaster blah master
|
||||
|
||||
Note that the username has been inserted between the power value and
|
||||
the password. When switching to this method, be sure to add a user
|
||||
to upsd.users, i.e.:
|
||||
|
||||
[monmaster]
|
||||
password = blah
|
||||
allowfrom = localhost
|
||||
upsmon master
|
||||
|
||||
You still need to give the upsmon host(s) at least "monitor" access,
|
||||
so don't delete those old ACCESS lines in your upsd.conf. Just
|
||||
lower the access level and remove the password.
|
||||
|
||||
Old way:
|
||||
|
||||
ACCESS grant master localhost blah
|
||||
|
||||
New way:
|
||||
|
||||
ACCESS grant monitor localhost
|
||||
|
||||
- The old upsfetch "library" (used loosely) has been replaced by
|
||||
upsclient. This will be installed if you do "make install-misc",
|
||||
but it goes into $(prefix)/lib and $(prefix)/include by default.
|
||||
|
||||
The upsclient interface is not compatible with upsfetch. Old
|
||||
accessory programs which linked to upsfetch will have to be updated
|
||||
to work with upsclient instead.
|
||||
|
||||
Existing binaries that were linked against upsfetch will still work
|
||||
since the network protocol used by upsd has not changed.
|
||||
|
||||
- SET and INSTCMD no longer work via host-level authentication. This
|
||||
is only a meaningful change if you are using very old versions of
|
||||
upscmd/upsct2/upsset.cgi, or if you're talking to upsd directly.
|
||||
|
||||
You must now set a USERNAME first, and authentication will occur
|
||||
through upsd.users as a result.
|
||||
|
||||
This means that the "manager" level in upsd.conf ACCESS directives
|
||||
is no longer meaningful, and you should remove them.
|
||||
|
||||
- INSTALLROOT is no longer available for redirecting 'make install' -
|
||||
use DESTDIR instead.
|
||||
|
||||
- Makefile targets have been reworked to allow fine-grained control
|
||||
over what happens at install-time. 'make install' and 'make
|
||||
install-cgi' still do everything, but you can call subsets instead
|
||||
if necessary. See ChangeLog.
|
||||
For information before this point, start with version 2.4.1 and work back.
