Name        : nut
Product     : Fedora 14
Version     : 2.6.2
Release     : 1.fc14
URL         : http://www.networkupstools.org/
Summary     : Network UPS Tools
Description :
These programs are part of a developing project to monitor the assortment
of UPSes that are found out there in the field. Many models have serial
ports of some kind that allow some form of state checking. This
capability has been harnessed where possible to allow for safe shutdowns,
live status tracking on web pages, and more.

Update Information:

 - NUT can now monitor power supply units (PSU) in servers, through IPMI, using the new experimental 'nut-ipmipsu' driver. Users are encouraged to test it (only on Fedora 15 and newer).

 - NUT now provides a tool, called 'nut-scanner', to discover supported devices, both local and remote. nut-scanner will help to ease the configuration step, and power infrastructure discovery.  A separate library, called 'libnutscan', is also available to provide these features. 

 - support for new devices: Eaton 3S ; Cyber Power Systems CP1000AVRLCD ; various APC models equiped with APC AP9618 management card, including APC Smart-UPS RT XL ;  Orvaldi 750 / 900SP ; POWEREX VI 1000 LED ; PowerWalker VI 850 LCD ; SVEN Power Pro+ series (USB ID ffff:0000).

 - A regression has been fixed in udev rules file. This previously caused permission issues to owners of some USB devices.

 - usbhid-ups has had Eaton completion: some features have been improved, such as 'output.voltage.nominal' ; 3S Eco control support has been added, along with battery.runtime.low and end of battery life (life cycle monitoring) support ; new measurements for 5 PX are also supported now (outlet power factor, power, real power and current).

 - apcsmart has been updated to support more variables and features ; the previous driver is however still available as 'apcsmart-old', in case of issues.

 - bcmxcp now supports per outlet startup and shutdown delays setting ; shutdown delay is also used, when available, for outlet.n.shutdown.return instead of the default 3 seconds.

 - snmp-ups.c has a new initialization method, that uses sysObjectID, which is a pointer to the prefered MIB of the device, to detect supported devices. This speeds up even more init stage and should render void the use of 'mib' option. SNMP v3 session initialisation has also been fixed, and Eaton PDU support has been completed.

 - Initial support has been added for systemd, the System and Service Manager
