Hey,<br><br>I'm scheduling a 2.6.2 release for max. September 15.<br><br>The content will be lighter than first expected with 2.8.0 (see below).<br>This includes the current trunk plus:<br>- merge the nut-scanner branch,<br>
- some snmp-ups improvements (sysOID matching for init stage) and some more MIBs,<br>- a first complete version of the nut-ipmipsu driver,<br>- the new jNut Java binding,<br>- preliminary support of systemd integration.<br>
<br>So if you have any patch that should be in 2.6.2, raise your hand...<br><br>The following are postponed to 2.8.0:<br>- the configuration library and tools,<br>- the PowerChain implementation (RFC #2 and #3 (not issued)),<br>
- the NSS branch merge (need verification),<br>- the Windows branch merge (need consolidation and verification).<br><br>cheers,<br>Arnaud<br>-- <br>Linux / Unix Expert R&D - Eaton - <a href="http://powerquality.eaton.com/" target="_blank">http://powerquality.eaton.com</a><br>

<a href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ServerOneiricInfraPower" target="_blank">https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ServerOneiricInfraPower</a><br><br>The end target is to have NUT ready to address infrastructures, both static like data-centers and flexible like Clouds.<br>
<br>Part of the interesting NUT topics are:<br>- the nut-scanner, which is a WIP,<br>- the configuration library and tools, with some existing results (Augeas lenses)<br>- the nut-ipmi driver, at first to monitor PSU (also WIP, first commit this week),<br>
- the PowerChain notion, which brings a global vision on both the protection and the supervision of the electric network.<br clear="all"><br>Part of this blueprint, and of a long run reflexion, I'm also considering opening NUT to application data related to power (like PowerWake / PowerNap):<br>
the considered approach would be a driver that publish power related information from this app, and allow interaction (calling commands and doing settings, as for actual devices). This is still subject to discussion and investigation, but it would really make sense to have NUT being a "general power information provider".<br>
<br>All these are scheduled for 2.8.0, around September. There will also be:<br>- the work already done, like NSS support (as an alternative to OpenSSL) and the maturing Windows port.<br>- a Java binding (jNUT), needed for Eucalyptus integration,<br>
- some work around Avahi and mDNS / DNS-SD.<br><br>As usual, comments, feedback and help welcome ^_^<br><br>cheers,<br>Arnaud<br><font color="#888888">-- <br>Linux / Unix Expert R&D - Eaton - <a href="http://powerquality.eaton.com" target="_blank">http://powerquality.eaton.com</a><br>
