1 Technical notes on version 3.9.8
6 - Pulled in the latest copy of the manual.
7 - Applied the changes as submitted by Carl Erhorn for
8 Solaris. Most I pulled from Riccardo's integration
10 - Updated the version and date.
12 Changes submitted this submission:
13 - Applied a casting fix to apcnisd.c reported by the SCO user.
14 - Added NETWORK_UPS to the case statements in apctest,
15 apcreports, and apcstatus. This was the principal problem
16 with the NIS network driver.
17 - Made some small updates to the Solaris configure.in changes
18 so that sbindir is correctly set.
19 - Created an SCO subdirectory in distributions. This is just
20 the very beginning please don't look at the code yet.
21 - In manual separated the Shutdown documentation into a separate
22 chapter for people who are porting.
23 - Made a quick pass through the new network driver. Most everything
24 was done. Here are the minor changes I made:
25 - sorted the translation list to make it easier to find the entries
26 - Added the remotedown flag so that the slave will be shutdown when
28 - Added a few more debug messages which could be removed now.
29 - Optimized fill_status_buffer() so that it does it at most once
31 - Used atof() on most of the input because even though they are
32 stored as integers, they are passed over the net as decimal numbers.
33 - used strtol() to get the status word, which is actually in hex.
34 - Deleted a number of variables that should be locally set rather
35 than pulled from the master.
36 - Fixed a bug in apcipc.c (non-fatal) found by the compiler on the SCO.
38 We need to think about the proper way to set CABLE and UPSMODE in the
39 status output for a new network driver. I think we should probably just
40 force them to something reasonable rather than take what the master
41 publishes. To be decided.
