Hi all, After over 7 months of work and 3 release candidates, lm-sensors 3.0.0 is finally there! Important changes compared to lm-sensors 2.10: * lm-sensors 3 only supports kernels 2.6.5 and later. * It is now a user-space-only package, it no longer contains kernel drivers. * The i2c tools have been moved to a separate package (surprisingly named i2c-tools). * libsensors' internal version was bumped to 4.0.0, as it has a completely new API we had to increase the .so version. This new library contains no chip-specific knowledge, it assumes that hardware monitoring drivers follow the standard sysfs interface. A very nice benefit of this is that the size of the library has been divided by 4 (down from 222 kB to 55 kB on i386). * sensors.conf is not fully compatible between the old and the new library. The lm-sensors 3 package includes a conversion script from the old format to the new one. * Some kernel drivers still don't implement the standard interface for alarms, so alarm flags won't show. I would like to thank Hans de Goede and his students for contributing the initial rewrite of libsensors, which made it all possible. -- Jean Delvare
