<strong>Network</strong> <strong>UPS</strong> <strong>Tools</strong> <strong>User</strong> <strong>Manual</strong> 75 / 84<br />
I.2 Changes from 2.7.1 to 2.7.2<br />
• upsdrvctl is now installed to $prefix/sbin rather than $driverexec. This usually means moving from /bin to /sbin, apart from<br />
few exceptions. In all cases, please adapt your scripts.<br />
• FreeDesktop Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL) support was removed. Please adapt your packaging files, if you used to<br />
distribute the nut-hal-drivers package.<br />
• This is a good time to point out that for stricter packaging systems, it may be beneficial to add "--enable-option-checking=fatal"<br />
to the ./configure command line, in order to quickly pick up any other removed option flags.<br />
I.3 Changes from 2.6.5 to 2.7.1<br />
• The apcsmart(8) driver has been replaced by a new implementation. There is a new parameter, ttymode, which may help if you<br />
have a non-standard serial port, or Windows. In case of issues with this new version, users can revert to apcsmart-old.<br />
• The nutdrv_qx(8) driver will eventually supersede blazer_ser and blazer_usb. Options are not exactly the same, but are documented<br />
in the nutdrv_qx man page.<br />
• Mozilla NSS support has been added. The OpenSSL configuration options should be unchanged, but please refer to the<br />
upsd.conf(5) and upsmon.conf(5) documentation in case we missed something.<br />
• upsrw(8) now prints out the maximum size of variables. Hopefully you are not parsing the output of upsrw - it would be easier<br />
to use one of the NUT libraries, or implement the network protocol yourself.<br />
• The jNut source is now here: https://github.com/networkupstools/jNut<br />
I.4 Changes from 2.6.4 to 2.6.5<br />
• users are encouraged to update to NUT 2.6.5, to fix a regression in upssched.<br />
• mge-shut driver has been replaced by a new implementation (newmge-shut). In case of issue with this new version, users can<br />
revert to oldmge-shut.<br />
I.5 Changes from 2.6.3 to 2.6.4<br />
• users are encouraged to update to NUT 2.6.4, to fix upsd vulnerability (CVE-2012-2944: upsd can be remotely crashed).<br />
• users of the bestups driver are encouraged to switch to blazer_ser, since bestups will soon be deprecated.<br />
I.6 Changes from 2.6.2 to 2.6.3<br />
• nothing that affects upgraded systems.<br />
I.7 Changes from 2.6.1 to 2.6.2<br />
• apcsmart driver has been replaced by a new implementation. In case of issue with this new version, users can revert to<br />
apcsmart-old.<br />
I.8 Changes from 2.6.0 to 2.6.1<br />
• nothing that affects upgraded systems.
