    Update to 2.14.3:

    3.14.3 -- 20 January 2008            (Maintenance Release)

    NEW FEATURES

      * A HAL policy file is automatically installed on Linux systems to disable
        the hald-addon-hid-ups module which conflicts with apcupsd's control of
        USB UPSes. The file is automatically removed when apcupsd is
        uninstalled.

    BUG FIXES

      * Add support for Nominal Power (aka Configured Active Power) reading.
        Credit to Lars Randers <lars@nstec.dk> for most of the code.

      * Add units to NOMINV, NOMOUTV, and NOMBATTV stats.

      * Eliminate "warning: deprecated conversion from string constant to
        'char*'" warnings emitted from gcc-4.2.1 (earlier versions with
        -Wwrite-strings). Contributed by Steve Yarmie <tribhuvanji@gmail.com>.

      * Fix killpower and eeprom settings bug on USB modules introduced when
        INPUT reports were prioritized over FEATURE reports.

      * Fix bugs that could cause NIS-net driver to get stuck waiting for
        comms to be restored instead of shutting down.

    3.14.2 -- 15 September 2007          (Maintenance Release)

    NEW FEATURES

      * Tray icon support on Vista. Vista does not allow background services
        to interact with the user's desktop, so winapcupsd's built-in tray
        icon did not work.

      * Tray icon is now a standalone application "apctray" which is capable of
        monitoring multiple Apcupsd instances via Apcupsd's NIS. Any Apcupsd
        running NIS can be monitored. By default the icon monitors a single
        apcupsd at 127.0.0.1:3551. See command line options below for adding
        additional monitors.

      * Tray icon can be installed individually (disable other packages in the
        installer) for users who want to use the icon only.

      * Apctray command line options:

           apctray.exe
              - No parameters: Start any instances listed in registry. If no
              instances in reg, start a default instance monitoring the local
              machine (127.0.0.1:3551).

           apctray.exe /host foo /port 3551 /add
              - Add a monitor for the given host and port.

           apctray.exe /host foo /port 3551 /del
              - Remove the given monitor.

           apctray.exe /del
              - Remove all monitors.

           apctray.exe /install
              - Configure apctray to start automatically.

           apctray.exe /remove
              - Do not start automatically.

           apctray.exe /kill
              - Shut down apctray

    BUG FIXES

      * The win32 portions of winapcupsd have been almost entirely rewritten.
        The code is cleaner (mostly) and lots of unused baggage has been
        removed.

      * USB fix for BackUPS LCD series. This fix carries a risk of breaking
        other
        models, but test results are positive so far.

      * Fix linux-usb device detection bug when multiple hiddev nodes are
        present.  Fixes Fedora Bugzilla #245864:
        <https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=245864>

      * Fix SNMP port selection when using SNMP driver

      * Add workaround for broken BackUPS Pro model that returns certain
        reports encoded in ASCII. Based on a patch from David Fries
        <David@Fries.net>.

      * apcsmart: Wait 20 seconds before declaring COMMLOST. This is necessary
        when using a smart serial cable on an UPS with an SNMP monitoring card
        installed. The SNMP card appears to disrupt serial comms for several
        seconds when interesting events are in progress.

      * Documentation updates: Fix up udev info for modern Linux distros.
        Update Windows section for apctray.

      * Don't leak unnecessary descriptors to child when execing apccontrol.

      * Fix bug with multi-threaded net_open() calls. net_open() was using
        a global buffer for the destination address. Yikes! Bug manifestied
        itself in apctray with multiple monitors occasionally (and
        timing-dependently) pointing to the wrong UPS.

      * Correct multimon.conf humidity monitoring.  Problem fixed by
        Patrick Frei.  Reference:
        https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=199834

      * Fix race between attach_ups() and detach_ups() which could result
        in the UPSINFO structure being freed prematurely. Thanks to James
        Abbott <j.abbott@imperial.ac.uk> for running many tests to help me
        find this bug.

      * Remove dependency on libc++ (again). Must use gcc as linker when
        using libsupc++ since g++ automatically links against full libc++.
