Changes since apcupsd 3.10.6

- Integrated Alexander Schremmer's stdout fix for Windows --
  keeps debug printout from being sent to the serial port.  - Bob
Kuo found a bug that caused a seg fault for newer USB
  UPSes. The error was that my code walked off the end of a
  table in linux-usb.c if the USB code was not in the
  table.

Major Changes since version 3.8.6 this Release:

- The manual has been totally rewritten/reorganized by
  Eric S. Raymond. Thanks.  - Support for USB UPSes.  - Full kill
power for USB UPSes is supported if you have
  a kernel 2.4.22 or higher, or you apply the kernel
  patch  supplied  by Sergey Vlasov.  See the examples directory.
- Version 3.10.6 (as opposed to 3.8.x) has device specific  driv-
ers,
  and  thus  can have a much smaller footprint by turning off un-
used
  drivers and parts of the code. See the new ./configure options.
- There is a new networking driver (net) that uses the NIS inter-
face
  rather than the older master/slave networking. It is very
  simple to setup, but has certain disadvantages -- for details
  see the manual - Win32 daemons work much better with a new ver-
sion of cygwin.  - Using a special cable (easy to build), you can
run your APC
  USB UPSes in serial mode.  - The apctest program has  been  en-
hanced to do EEPROM programming in
  a much more interactive way than the prior versions.

Other Changes this Release:

-  The rpms now build without being root.  - A number of bug fix-
es.  - Support for additional systems, UPSes, and cables.  - Sup-
port  for  system gd program rather than older version we supply.
- pthreads is turned on by default, and we no longer support the
  old forking version. We have left the code in case anyone needs
  it, but there is some fixing to do to make it work.


Items  to  note:   !!!!!  - The default NIS port has changed from
7000 to 3551. Port 3551 has been
  officially assigned to apcupsd by IANA.  - A number  of  direc-
tive names have changed since 3.8.6, so please check
  your  .conf file carefully, or better yet, rename your old ver-
sion so
  that apcupsd will install the new one, then make any minor mod-
ifications
