This file lists changes that affect users who installed older versions of this software. When upgrading from an older version, be sure to check this file to see if you need to make changes to your system.
For packaging (OS distribution or in-house) it is recommended to
primarily ./configure --with-all
and then excise --without-something
explicitly for items not supported on your platform, so you do not miss
out on new NUT features as they come with new releases. Some may require
that you update your build environment with new third-party dependencies,
so a broken build of a new NUT release would let you know how to act.
This is a good time to point out that for stricter packaging systems, it may
be beneficial to add --enable-option-checking=fatal
to the ./configure
command line, in order to quickly pick up any other removed option flags.
