Release notes for NUT 2.8.2 - what's new since 2.8.1
----------------------------------------------------
- Fix fallout of development in NUT v2.8.0 and/or v2.8.1:
[lots of bugs, some serious]
- usbhid-ups driver:
* The `onlinedischarge` configuration flag name was too ambiguous and got
deprecated (will be supported but no longer promoted by documentation),
introducing `onlinedischarge_onbattery` as the meaningful alias. [#2213]
- Laid foundations for the SmartNUT effort (aiming to integrate drivers with
some other backends than the networked NUT data server process).
- Eaton contributed recipes and scripts used to create the IPP for Unix
bundle (aka Eaton IPSS Unix or UPP), a freely available value-added
packaging of NUT distributed as the UPS software companion for OSes
where their more complex UPS monitoring/management tools had not been
ported. This allows for delivery of NUT packages with an interactive
installer and some system integration scripts (events, notifications,
status, shutdown daemon...), and was contributed to the NUT upstream
project by Eaton -- provided "as is" at the moment, and may later serve
as foundation or inspiration for new NUT features. [#2288]
- nutconf (C++ library and tool to read and manage NUT configuration files)
was started in the open by Eaton employees and used in the IPP installer,
but the code lingered in a side branch. It was now brushed up to our common
best practices and added to the main codebase. As of this import, there are
known deficiencies in Windows platform support, as well as some un-awareness
about configuration key words which appeared in NUT since 2013. [#2290]
