A few notes that could be interesting for us: =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D Quote =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D * 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). * Some kernel drivers still don't implement the standard interface for alarms, so alarm flags won't show. =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D Quote =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D So as you can see it's fully userspace non chip-specific library, based on= =20 sysfs interface.=20 =2D-=20 =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D =20 =2D Best regards, Nikolay Pavlov. <<<----------------------------------- = =20 =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D =20 --nextPart2467490.yFSCKo24dG Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQBHSr1l/2R6KvEYGaIRAvkdAJ9YJ6HShCI3Ur4Y5oCfyGjtGw2TYgCdG/EB 9pBYh7SZ5bkBMIuO4jvBalw= =SeHz -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart2467490.yFSCKo24dG--
