Changes: This release of FreeIPMI fixes bugs with workaround flags for different devices, in-band probing priority, setting of volatile vs. non-volatile settings, and sunbmc driver bugs. It also works around a Sun motherboard authentication issue and an HP sensor reading issue. Documentation has also been updated.
- 16 May 2009 00:26
Changes: This releases fixes a variety of minor bugs. Included are output typos/errors in ipmi-fru, diff errors for the "Password20" field in bmc-config, chassis-identify argument parsing bugs in ipmi-chassis, output typos/errors in ipmi-chassis, and portability issues. Identify/LED/beacon has been added into ipmipower during interactive mode. Various documentation has also been updated.

Changes: This release supports workarounds for Inventec 5441 motherboards. Most notably, the "opensesspriv" workaround was added to tools and the OPEN_SESSION_PRIVILEGE workaround was added for libraries. ipmi-fru no longer fails on an invalid chassis info area type. Instead, it outputs that type as unknown and continues to parse the area. In bmc-info, output device ID, manufacturer ID, and product ID are now shown as integers, not hex. A GLIBC 2.8 compilation bug was fixed.

Changes: In this release, ipmi-oem supports Inventec specific get-nic-status, set-nic-status, get-mac-address, and set-mac-address commands. The default privilege for ipmi-oem is changed to ADMIN. Both characters of the firmware minor revision are output in bmc-info (i.e. 1.01 instead of 1.1). Solaris porting bugs have been fixed. There is a build option (--with-dont-check-for-root) to not have tools check for root in in-band IPMI communication. This release allows permission checks to be dealt with at the system call level (i.e. open() on /dev/ipmi0).

Changes: In this release, sensor group names in ipmimonitoring are fixed to be consistent with other tools. Threshold-related fields for non-threshold sensors are no longer output in ipmi-sensors. The --config-file option was added to all tools incorrectly missing it. The output of "FLOOPY" was fixed to "FLOPPY" in ipmi-chassis-config. Deassertion bitmask configuration was fixed in ipmi-sensors-config. The bmc-watchdog init script was fixed for portability to SUSE.
