Change Log for older versions
----> Release 3.10.16 04Nov04
- Adam has fixed the killpower problem for USB so that the
USB now properly turns off the power. Nice job.
- Converted manual from docbook to texinfo format. There is some
cleanup to be done, but we get an index.
- Thanks to Adam for converting the .png images to .pdf
- Apply patch to fix aastr... supplied by Manfred Schwarb.
- Changed Solaris to use mailx by default at the suggestion of
Neil Brookins.
- Added Adam’s snoopdecode.c to examples that allows viewing
USB events.
- A number of typos fixed in apccontrol files.
- Adam fixed a race condition in killpower with --kill-on-powerfail.
- --kill-on-powerfail disallowed for dumb UPSes since the
kill power will always occur before the system has been halted.
- Lots of doc updates.
- Add proper platform code so that configure will create
the 4 platform specific apccontrol files (some were missing).
- Apply fix from user to correct one of the shutdown
sequences for the Smart UPS. During the conversion to drivers
this was apparently mangled.

daemon unless debug turned on.
- Add APCBATTCapBeforeRestore found by Adam to hid-ups.c
- Update copyright in apc_struct.h
- Take Adam’s new apc_defines.h with minor modification.
- Correct a bug reported by a user (he also had the fix) to
the snmp driver where Sensitivity was incorrectly reported.

- Fix apcstatus.c to report Unknown for the sensitivity rather than
High if the sense word cannot be read or is incorrect.
