- Update to version 2.7.1:
For more see NEWS and UPGRADING in /usr/share/doc/packages/nut.
Potentially incompatible changes:
* First release after the transition from Subversion to Git.
* The linkman:apcsmart[8] driver has been replaced by a new
implementation. There is a new parameter, 'ttymode'. In case
of issues with this new version, users can revert to
apcsmart-old.
* The linkman:nutdrv_qx[8] driver will eventually supersede
blazer_ser and blazer_usb. Options are not exactly the same,
but are documented in the nutdrv_qx man page.
* Mozilla NSS support has been added.
* linkman:upsrw[8] now prints out the maximum size of
variables.
Other changes:
* Added a new driver, nutdrv_qx, for Megatec/Qx devices. This
driver will eventually replace the blazer_ser and blazer_usb
drivers. In particular, it adds support for Voltronic Power
devices.
* Increased USB_TIMEOUT to standards-compliant 5.000 seconds in
most drivers. This should reduce the number of timeouts on
low-speed USB 1.1 devices.
* Added many devices to the HCL. Of particular note are many
Tripp Lite USB HID PDC models which were tested against NUT by
Tripp Lite.
* Reworked some visual elements of the HCL.
* Also increased timeouts and added redundant commands to improve
reliability of mge-utalk driver.
* Added the apcupsd-ups driver to interoperate with apcupsd
installations.

nutdrv_qx.
* Added new drivers for the Riello UPS product line
(riello_ser/riello_usb).

* Updated the apcsmart driver, and renamed the previous driver to
apcsmart-old.

libupsclient.
