Hello all, As the holiday season looms upon us, and NUT cracker sounds can be heard everywhere, I wonder if the current codebase is good enough to cut a 2.8.3 release some time soonish.
Active development of recently contributed drivers has somewhat subsided; there are still some planned revisions (notably about documentation and statuses for ECO and similar modes), but some more get shelved as potential risk to be merged after a release. So as you might get a few free days for tinkering - please take a look at building and running the current git master branch builds. The NEWS.adoc and UPGRADING.adoc should do a good job about highlighting the changes that have landed. If I were to name one subject of interest, I'd say CPS HID that got revised broken USB report descriptor fix-up code, so hopefully fixes some problems with voltage reporting and does not regress where it previously worked. One more interesting subject regards UPS shutdowns - now the `sdcommands` option should be handled by all drivers so deployments can specify an INSTCMD that is more correct for their model (or even run-time situation) than the hard-coded one. Perhaps you might test shutdowns by just toggling the beeper or calibration - without inducing a power outage, who knows?.. For the hackers out there, it would be nice to reproduce and nail a problem with APC Modbus with libusb: it segfaults for some users, see issue 2289 for details :\ Hoping for feedback, Jim Klimov
