• NUT ACL and the allowfrom mechanism has been replaced in 2.4.0 by the LISTEN directive and tcp-wrappers respectively.<br />

• nothing that affects upgraded systems.<br />
I.13 Changes from 2.2.2 to 2.4.0<br />
• The nut.conf file has been introduced to standardize startup configuration across the various systems.<br />
• The cpsups and nitram drivers have been replaced by the powerpanel driver, and removed from the tree. The cyberpower driver<br />
may suffer the same in the future.<br />
• The al175 and energizerups drivers have been removed from the tree, since these were tagged broken for a long time.<br />
• Developers of external client application using libupsclient must rename their "<strong>UPS</strong>CONN" client structure to "<strong>UPS</strong>CONN_t".<br />
• The upsd server will now disconnect clients that remain silent for more than 60 seconds.<br />
• The files under scripts/python/client are distributed under GPL 3+, whereas the rest of the files are distributed under GPL 2+.<br />
Refer to COPYING for more information.<br />
• The generated udev rules file has been renamed with dash only, no underscore anymore (ie 52-nut-usbups.rules instead of<br />
52_nut-usbups.rules)<br />
I.14 Changes from 2.2.1 to 2.2.2<br />
• The configure option "--with-lib" has been replaced by "--with-dev". This enable the additional build and distribution of the<br />
static version of libupsclient, along with the pkg-config helper and manual pages. The default configure option is to distribute<br />
only the shared version of libupsclient. This can be overriden by using the "--disable-shared" configure option (distribute static<br />
only binaries).<br />
• The <strong>UPS</strong> poweroff handling of the usbhid-ups driver has been reworked. Though regression is not expected, users of this driver<br />
are encouraged to test this feature by calling "upsmon -c fsd" and report any issue on the NUT mailing lists.<br />
I.15 Changes from 2.2.0 to 2.2.1<br />
• nothing that affects upgraded systems. (The below message is repetead due to previous omission)<br />
• Developers of external client application using libupsclient are encouraged to rename their "<strong>UPS</strong>CONN" client structure to<br />
"<strong>UPS</strong>CONN_t" since the former will disappear by the release of NUT 2.4.
