FreeIPMI 1.0.1 has been released. It can be downloaded at: http://www.gnu.org/software/freeipmi/download.html
What is IPMI? The Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) specification defines a set of interfaces for platform management. It is implemented by a large number of hardware manufacturers to support system management on motherboards. The features of IPMI that most users will be interested in are sensor monitoring (i.e. CPU temperatures, fan speeds), remote power control, and serial-over-LAN (SOL). What is FreeIPMI? FreeIPMI provides in-band and out-of-band IPMI software based on the IPMI v1.5/2.0 specification. FreeIPMI provides tools and libraries for users to access and read IPMI sensor readings, system event log (SEL) entries, serial-over-LAN (SOL), remote power control functions, field replaceable unit (FRU) device information, and more. More information about FreeIPMI can be found at the FreeIPMI webpage at: http://www.gnu.org/software/freeipmi/index.html Release 1.0.1 Changes --------------------- o Remove ipmimonitoring tool. Tool is now superseded by ipmi-sensors and the new --output-sensor-state option. o Support --output-event-state option for ipmi-sel to support SEL event interpretation. o All config-tools now support multi-channel configuration under verbose mode. o Re-architect libipmimonitoring to support all defined IPMI sensor types, OEM bitmasks, and OEM interpretations. o Add SEL monitoring support to libipmimonitoring. o Support new 'interpret' sub-library in libfreeipmi. o Support interpretation rules for sensors when no states/events occur. o Support interpretation rules for out of spec sensor states/events. o Support interpretation rules for OEM sensors and events. o Move all config files to /etc/freeipmi/. Support legacy config files for backwards compatibility. o Support serial keepalive in ipmiconsole to check if serial connection has remained alive across system reboots. o Create symlinks and manpage pointers for 'ipmi-power', 'ipmi-ping', 'rmcp-ping', 'ipmi-console', and 'ipmi-detect' to give some additional consistency to the tool naming. o Various documentation updates. o Update to support DCMI 1.1. o Update all licensing information to GPLv3.
