The new name more clearly reflects the purpose of the + project in its current state. +In November 2004 (1.5.0), support for IPMI LAN was added using FreeIPMI. + The FreeIPMI library includes KCS and IPMI LAN protocols. +In May 2006 (1.7.0), built-in IPMI LAN support was added. +In August 2006 (1.7.5), driverless direct I/O support was added, to no longer + depend upon libfreeipmi.so, since ipmilan.c and ipmidir.c replace that + functionality, so the utilities are now more portable. +In Jan 2007 (1.8.0), two major new features were added: + 1) The 'ipmiutil' meta-command, which may be more user-friendly for some + users, and maintains the existing syntax for each sub-command. + 2) Support for IPMI LAN 2.0 RMCP+ in both Linux and Windows. Support for + IPMI LAN 1.5 or 2.0 is detected by default, or can be explicitly + specified/forced with the -Flan2 option. +In Feb 2007 (1.9.2), Linux Serial-Over-Lan console feature was added. +In Oct 2007 (2.0.0), Windows SOL console and remote soft-shutdown features + were added. +In Mar 2008 (ipmiutil-2.1.0), the Windows SOL client application was completed. +In Aug 2008 (ipmiutil-2.2.0), a new function was added to save/restore the BMC + configuration parameters for lan, serial, user, channel, pef, and sol. + The command is "ipmiutil config" for this. +In Sep 2008 (2.2.1), support for the Microsoft IPMI driver was added. +In Nov 2008 (2.3.0), support for the Sun Solaris bmc driver was added. +In Mar 2009 (2.3.5), support for the FreeBSD OS was added. +In Oct 2009 (2.5.0), added several new features: + Full ANSI VT100 emulation for Windows SOL console + Two-character escape sequence (~.) for SOL console, adding send-Break. + Added canonical output option -c for fru,config,sensor,health,lan + Added ipmiutil getevt -r to run specified script when an event occurs +In Feb 2010 (2.6.0), new subcommand naming scheme: + Renamed subcommands to match the meta-command name plus the prefix 'i'. + For instance, 'showsel' is now 'isel' and 'pefconfig' is now 'ilan'. + This may affect some scripts that use the old subcommand shortcuts. + Also included some spec file cleanup/standardization. + Support added for some CG2100 firmware differences. +In Apr 2010 (2.6.2) ifruset was added to set all FRU Product Area fields +In Jun 2010 (2.6.5) added picmg and firewall functionality +In Aug 2010 (2.6.8) Fedora 14 version of ipmiutil submitted +In Sep 2010 (2.6.9) added fwum/hpm functionality, and OEM Fujitsu sensor/sel +In Sep 2010 (2.7.0) added sunoen, ekanalyzer, fru_picmg, oem_kontron +In Sep 2010 (2.7.1) added ppc64, mips64, sparc arch support +In Nov 2010 (2.7.2) added Debian package support +In Nov 2010 Fedora 14 released with ipmiutil-2.6.8 +In Dec 2010 (2.7.3) added SuperMicro OEM functions +In Mar 2011 OpenSuSE 11.4 released with ipmituil-2.7.2 +In May 2011 (2.7.6) added VLAN support and WIN64 fixes +In Sep 2011 (2.7.8) added Dell OEM functions, PICMG 2.3, IPv6, systemd, tsol +In Oct 2011 (2.7.9) support Wind River and ARM cross-compile, Intel S2600 +In Dec 2011 (2.8.0) added DCMI 1.1 commands, devel pkg, MSI package +In Feb 2012 (2.8.1) added Quanta S99Q functions, Dell fixes, Intel ME fixes + -- cgit v1.2.3
