Hi everyone,
I've released a beta for the FreeIPMI 1.3.X release line. The release
notes are listed below. The most notable change is the default output
of timestamps in FreeIPMI. By default, timestamps are assumed to be in
localtime instead of UTC time, resulting in different output than in
earlier releases of FreeIPMI. A variety of options can be specified to
give behavior like earlier versions of FreeIPMI.
If you find any bugs or have comments, please post to the appropriate
mailing list.

FreeIPMI 1.3.1 - 08/22/12
-------------------------
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.
Libraries
---------
o In libfreeipmi, support additional chassis types (per FRU Revision
1.2 update).
o In libfreeipmi, support new FRU multirecord types (per FRU Revision
1.2 update).
o In libfreeipmi, support new IPMI_FRU_FLAGS_READ_RAW 'fru'
sub-library flag to read data from the FRU raw without parsing
headers/records.
o In libfreeipmi, add support for DDR3 SDRAM FRU entries and JEDEC
manufacturer IDs.
o In libfreeipmi, add support for Get SEL Time UTC Offset and Set SEL
Time UTC Offset payloads.
o In libfreeipmi 'sel' sub-library, support
IPMI_SEL_PARAMETER_UTC_OFFSET,
IPMI_SEL_STRING_FLAGS_UTC_TO_LOCALTIME, and
IPMI_SEL_STRING_FLAGS_LOCALTIME_TO_UTC options/flags.
o In libfreeipmi, do not pad legacy byte on IPMI 1.5 packets. Legacy
byte should be padded on ethernet frame, not IP packet.
o In libfreeipmi, 'sdr' sub-library, when creating SDR cache, add
checksums to cache to ensure data in cache is not corrupted. Older
caches without checksums still backwards compatible supported.
