A variety of event output corner cases were fixed in ipmi-sel. ipmi-raw and ipmi-oem allocation bugs on newer systems such as RHEL6 were fixed. Support was added for OEM sensor/SEL events for Intel S2600JF/Appro 512X. Per the definition, GUIDs are now output with lower case characters in bmc-info. Minor bugs were fixed.
This release includes a number of updates for newer motherboards. It includes many new sensor/SEL event interpretations for IBM motherboards, OEM extensions for Supermicro motherboards, and workarounds for Fujitsu motherboards. In addition, a number of minor bugs were fixed including parsing bugs, error code handling bugs, and improper exporting of library symbols.
This release supports the new 'ignorescanningdisabled' workaround in ipmi-sensors. It may be useful for a number of Dell Poweredge servers that incorrectly report their sensors as "disabled". Supermicro OEM sensors on X8SIL-F, X9SCL, and X9SCM motherboards are also supported. The bmc-watchdog logrotate script has been updated to reduce unnecessary output.
This release fixes various issues in ipmi-dcmi, including command line parsing bugs, asset tag/string identifier overwriting, and assumptions based on new information in v1.5 errata. It supports pkg-config files for libraries.
Support for new "discretereading" and "spinpoll" workarounds to deal with sensors and performance on some motherboards. Additional sensor/SEL interpretations for Intel motherboards. Convenience input checking functions in libipmiconsole. A bug in libipmimonitoring has been fixed to allow additional OEM interpretations.
