[Nut-upsdev] <Cyber Energy> <usbhid-ups/cps-hid.c>-Add HID Usage (Temperature)

[Jim Klimov]

Hello Yvonne,

  The pull request https://github.com/networkupstools/nut/pull/2711 was
merged Dec 6, so is part of master-branch NUT code base already and
available to those who build it locally.

  Next official NUT release would be v2.8.3, and while generally release
timing in small FOSS teams is hard to predict and adhere to, I do hope to
get this one done actually this month, before FOSDEM. There are one or two
issues that I treat as blockers to solve before an official release, and
other tickets can be delayed until the next one.

  Please note that after a NUT release happens, it can take some time for
OS distributions to deliver it in their packaging, and according to their
policy - e.g. some only deliver security or similar small patches over a
project's version picked into the initial "X.0" release of a distribution,
and a different baseline might only be considered for the "(X+1).0" in a
few years (and then users must upgrade to that latest OS release to see the
new packages); others are more dynamic with this. We do still get reports
of issues with NUT v2.7.4 which is 9 years old... and then the first
recommendation is to build the current version from Git, not in the least
to check if the issue was solved during the past decade, and to prepare a
way to have the more advanced troubleshooting or a testbed to develop/test
the new fixes if needed.

Hope this helps,
Jim Klimov
