Re: [Freeipmi-devel] FreeIPMI 1.0.0.beta1 Released

[Albert Chu]

Hey everyone,

I recently learned that the DCMI spec had an errata update in December,
so I did a minor update based on that spec and released another beta.

http://download.gluster.com/pub/freeipmi/qa-release/freeipmi-1.0.0.beta1.tar.gz

Other than that, I think 1.0.1 is ready to go.  PLMK if you see anything
or have any comments.
