Schremmer's stdout fix for Windows --
  keeps debug printout  from  being  sent  to  the  serial  port.
28Oct03  - Bob Kuo found a bug that caused a seg fault, which was
due
  to my code that walked off the end of a  table  in  linux-usb.c
03Oct03  Released here - Move the old manual to old_documents and
commit the
  new docbook manual to the CVS. Don't include the web
  html directory.  28Sep03 - Test net slave mode. It works  fine.
I made it behave more
  like a slave, so it shows the last time it contacted
  the  master.  - Add MASTER name to status output if device is a
slave.  - Display last master update if device is a net slave.  -
Add 10 sec delay before calling apcupsd --killpower it is
  needed  for  USB  killpower  to work right. Why????  - Save old
apccontrol when installing a new one.  -  Replace  old  UPS_SET()
with  set_ups()  in  a number of places.  27Sep03 - Implement au-
todetect of USB port if no DEVICE given.  14Sep03 - After the up-
grade to RH9 with the new autoconf, quite a
  few things broke. As far as I can tell, it is because autoconf
  set top_srcdir to ., and since apcupsd exects top_srcdir to be
  absolute, lots of things broke.  Fixed by editing all the
  Makefiles and switching to topdir.  - Had to disable autoheader
since it wipes out config.h.in 10Sep03 - Made pthreads default --
lots of problems converting to new
  autoconf  --  it  deleted my config.h.in file!  01Sep03 - Fixed
bad file descriptor in SO_KEEPALIVE for slave (reported
  by Derek Battams.  - Added informative subject to email  onbat-
tery, ... (suggested
  by  a  user,  thanks  -- sorry I forgot who).  - #ifdef off IP6
code in inet_pton for platforms that do not have it.   06Aug03  -
Added  the -s "$MSG" to each of the script files (mainsback, ...)
  as suggested by Nicholas Robinson.  - The dependencies were not
being correctly generated, so
  simplified  the  code.   -  Added install: to the include Make-
file.in.  Lack of it
  caused problems on OpenBSD.  - Changed  LINEVOLT  to  MAINS  in
apcstatus.c to fix a problem
  reported  by David Walser of CGI reporting zero volts.  - Tried
to clarify the difference between the net and
  the master/slave drivers in the doc.  05Aug03 - Because of  the
complaints about the master/slave code, I finally
  got around to testing it, and it was seriously broken in more
  than  one  way.   It seems to be working now.  - Started adding
new set_ups() instead of UPS_SET().  - Adding the  SIGCHLD  broke
quite a lot of calls in the master/slave
  code.  This  will  probably  also show up elsewhere.  04Aug03 -
Tested the net driver, it seems to work perfectly fine. I
  did add a grace period of 4 seconds with comm loss on batteries
  before the shutdown is done.  - A number of changes to the man-
ual.  - Clean up the net driver to be  compatible  with  C++  for
building
  gd code.  - I backed out the 12July  SNMP  changes  since  they
probably only
  work for 3 phase and I don't have the libraries to test compile
  or the card to test.  12Jul03 - Modify snmp driver to  use  up-
sPhaseOutputPercentPower instead of
  upsAdvOutputLoad   as   requested  by  ivac@gnjilux.srk.fer.hr.
08Jul03 - As reported by Brandon Applegate, the  net  driver  was
not
  clearing old flags after a power failure. In fact, it was
  really screwed up -- it always or'ed in the new bits thus
  keeping any old status, and blasting out any local bits.
  Fixed  hopefully.   -  Made  a  new  set  of  defines  for set-
ting/clearing/testing ups
  Status bits that is  much  easier  to  read.   -  Added  Sergey
Vlasov's second USB kernel patch to the examples
  directory.  The two patches can be found in:
    linux-2.4.20-killpower.patch
    linux-2.4.20-USB-reject.patch
  The  emails  are  also  in  that  directory.  - As suggested by
Sergey for the 2.5 kernel, I have #ifdefed
  out the call to HIDIOCGREPORT in the int_write routine used
  for killpower.  07Jul03 - Lots of updates to the  document.   -
Fixed  a  slave crash in master/slave mode. It was a missing set-
up_device,
  and was diagnosed and reported by  Christian  Schacht  --  many
thanks.   30May03  - Made non-existent header files non-fatal and
added #ifdef
  around sys/socket.h so it will compile on IRIX.  - Add  Scott's
latest apcupsd.conf with the hid-ups program code
  (actually  I  had  done this some time ago ...).  - Start a Re-
leaseNotes file 20May03 - Fixed a typo error (mine) that prevent-
ed Scott from building
  rpms.  Strange,  it  worked  for me????  19May03 - More DESTDIR
cleanup for building non-root rpms.  18May03 - Add DESTDIR every-
where  so we can build rpms non-root - Additional documentation -
Add Scott's new apcupsd.spec 06May03 - On  Hilary  Jones  sugges-
tion, I fixed the ./configure message that
  is printed when no libgd is found to direct the user to the
  main source.  01May03 - Add Sergey Vlasov's kernel patch to the
examples directory,
  and it replaces the previous patch.
  This patch now solves the killpower problem on Linux USB.
  <apcupsd-source>/examples/linux-2.4.20-alt-apc_usb_ups.patch
  notes are in: linux-usb-patch-email.txt 22Apr03 - Add TTY  mode
to  apctest  to communicated directly with UPS.  - Apply patch to
linux-usb.c in killpower supplied by
  Sergey Vlasov (thanks!).  19Apr03 - Eliminate pow() function in
linux-usb.c  so  that -lm is not needed.  14Apr03 - Add automatic
detection of socklen_t 11Apr03 - I received a kernel  patch  from
Sergey Vlasov that fixes
  the killpower problem on CS UPSes. apcupsd can now shutdown
  these devices! I've removed some debug code that was in
  detached from the terminal and pointed to the log file. This
  prevents remotely logged in users who start apcupsd from being
  unable to log out.  06Mar03 - Made some mindor modifications to
configure.in and aclocal.m4 to
  make consistent use of double quotes in test statements in
  response  to problems with make install reported by Andrew Sur-
ratt.  - Thanks to Richard Schwaninger for finding and submitting
a patch to
  the tcp-wrappers code that prevented it from working because of
an
  invalid name. Fixed.  05Mar03  -  Thanks  to  Andrew  Reid  for
pointing out that the child reaping code
  should  be  clearing  the pid slot if a -1 is returned. The pid
table
  was filling up on his system  due  to  killed  children.  Fixed
21Feb03  -  A  bug report against the Mandrake version of apcupsd
indicates that
  apcupsd is not releasing /dev/console.  I've moved the  close()
of
  STDIN  so that it is always executed to prevent this possibili-
ty.  12Feb03 - Implement very crude first cut of EEPROM  program-
ming in apctest.
  Set battery date, set UPS name, and print EEPROM values should
  work.
