I.22 Changes from 1.4.0 to 2.0.0<br />
• The sample config files are no longer installed by default. If you want to install them, use make install-conf for the main<br />
programs, and make install-cgi-conf for the CGI programs.<br />
• ACCESS is no longer supported in upsd.conf. Use ACCEPT and REJECT. Old way:<br />
ACCESS grant all adminbox<br />
ACCESS grant all webserver<br />
ACCESS deny all all<br />
New way:<br />
ACCEPT adminbox<br />
ACCEPT webserver<br />
REJECT all<br />
Note that ACCEPT and REJECT can take multiple arguments, so this will also work:<br />
ACCEPT adminbox webserver<br />
REJECT all<br />
• The drivers no longer support sddelay in ups.conf or -d on the command line. If you need a delay after calling upsdrvctl<br />
shutdown, add a call to sleep in your shutdown script.<br />
• The templates used by upsstats have changed considerably to reflect the new variable names. If you use upsstats, you will need<br />
to install new copies or edit your existing files to use the new names.<br />
• Nobody needed UDP mode, so it has been removed. The only users seemed to be a few people like me with ancient asapm-ups<br />
binaries. If you really want to run asapm-ups again, bug me for the new patch which makes it work with upsclient.<br />
• make install-misc is now make install-lib. The misc directory has been gone for a long time, and the target was ambiguous.<br />
• The newapc driver has been renamed to apcsmart. If you previously used newapc, make sure you delete the old binary and fix<br />
your ups.conf. Otherwise, you may run the old driver from 1.4.<br />
– File trimmed here on changes from 1.2.2 to 1.4.0 *<br />
For information before this point, start with version 2.4.1 and work back.<br />

May 1996: early status hacks<br />
APC’s Powerchute was running on kadets.d20.co.edu (a BSD/OS box) with SCO binary emulation. Early test versions ran in<br />
cron, pulled status from the log files and wrote them to a .plan file. You could see the results by fingering pwrchute@kadets.<br />
d20.co.edu while it lasted:
