- Update to 1.4.0 beta0
Tools - New Features
--------------------
o Support new tool ipmi-config. Ipmi-config is a consolidated
configuration tool implementing everything that was previously in
bmc-config, ipmi-pef-config, ipmi-sensors-config, and
ipmi-chassis-config.
- The consolidated tool will allow users to checkout, commit, and
diff sections/fields across the four former tools using only one
tool.
- The consolidated tool will also allow users to checkout, commit,
and diff new sections/fields not yet covered in the four former
tools.
- Legacy scripts for bmc-config, ipmi-pef-config,
ipmi-sensors-config, and ipmi-chassis-config will point to the new
tool with all appropriate options to ensure full backwards
compatability.
- The ipmi-pef-config --info option has been made legacy. It is
still supported but no longer advertised.
o Support Intel Data Center Host Interface / Management Engine as
optional driver type for in-band communication.
- Typically these are loaded as /dev/dcmi and /dev/mei drivers.
- This driver is identified as the "inteldcmi" type, as it is
specific to Intel systems.
o Support OEM extensions for Intel Windmill, Wiwynn Windmill, and
Quanta Winterfell motherboards in ipmi-sel and ipmi-sensors. These
motherboards are also know as motherboards for the Open Compute
Project (OCP).
o Support DCMI configuration in ipmi-config.
OBS-URL: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/systemsmanagement/freeipmi?expand=0&rev=42
-------------------------
o Support 'solchannelsupport' workraound in ipmiconsole /

flag in libipmiconsole.

counts listed.

o Fix error checks in sensor decoding functions, leading to
possible problems in ipmi-sensors-config.

-------------------------
o Add support for intelnm get-node-manager-alert-destination and
set-node-manager-alert-destination in ipmi-oem.

effectively parse OEM specific SEL records.
o Fix big endian portability bugs.
OBS-URL: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/systemsmanagement/freeipmi?expand=0&rev=34
Tools - New Features
--------------------
o In all tools reporting time (ipmi-sel, ipmi-fru, ipmi-oem,
bmc-device, ipmi-sensors, ipmi-dcmi), timestamps are now reporting
under the assumption the timestamp is already in localtime (compared
to being in UTC time and converted to localtime). This is by
definition in the IPMI specification.
o In all tools reporting time (ipmi-sel, ipmi-fru, ipmi-oem,
bmc-device, ipmi-sensors, ipmi-dcmi), support --utc-to-localtime,
--localtime-to-utc, and --utc-offset options to allow users to
adjust timestamps as needed for certain environments.
o In ipmi-fru, support output of DDR3 SDRAM modules.
o In ipmi-fru, support output of new FRU multirecords, most notably
extended DC output and extended DC load (per FRU Revision 1.2
update).
o In bmc-device, support --get-sel-time-utc-offset and
--set-sel-time-utc-offset.
Tools - Bug Fixes/Minor Changes
-------------------------------
o In ipmi-fru, report power supply low/high end voltage ranges as
signed numbers (per FRU Revision 1.2 update).
o In ipmi-fru, output "unspecified" for manufacturing date/time or
peak capacity as appropriate (per FRU Revision 1.2 update).
o In ipmi-fru, bridge additional FRU entries as appropriate.
o In all tools reporting time (ipmi-sel, ipmi-fru, ipmi-oem,
bmc-device, ipmi-sensors, ipmi-dcmi), special timestamps such as
Post-Init and Unspecified will now be output.
o Fix output corner case with entity sensor names in various tools.
