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

[Albert Chu]

Hey everyone,

By request, one more addition was made before the 1.0.1 release.  It's
legacy support for the ipmimonitoring legacy format, now supported via a
--ipmimonitoring-legacy-output option in ipmi-sensors.

If executing via the legacy /usr/sbin/ipmimonitoring script, specifying
--legacy-output will automatically be converted into
--ipmimonitoring-legacy-output, so that old scripts should work
seemlessly.
