It's even newer than that. 2.0.4 is the latest version in the Stable
series, but you need to check out the Development tree (the trunk in
our Subversion repository), as Peter suggested.

If you can't easily check out the Subversion tree, let me know and I
can post a snapshot.

Despite the name, tripplite_usb will not work for newer Tripp Lite
UPSes, especially if the product id is not 0001 - use newhidups
instead.
