FreeIPMI 1.6.1 - 02/02/18 ------------------------- o Add IPv6 hostname support to FreeIPMI, all of FreeIPMI can now take IPv6 addresses as inputs to "host" parameters, options, or inputs. o Support significant portions of IPMI IPv6 configuration in libfreeipmi. o Add --no-session option in ipmi-raw. o Add SDR cache options to ipmi-config. o Legacy -f short option for --flush-cache and -Q short option for quiet-cache. Backwards compatible for tools that supported it before. o In ipmi-oem, support Gigabyte get-bmc-services and set-bmc-services. o Various performance improvements: - Remove excessive calls to secure_memset to clear memory. - Remove excessive memsets and clears of data. - Remove unnecessary "double input checks". - Remove expensive input checks in libfreeipmi fiid library. Fallout from this may include FIID_ERR_FIELD_NOT_FOUND errors in different fiid functions. - Remove unnecessary input checks in libfreeipmi fiid library. - Add recent 'lookups' of fields in fiid library to internal cache. o Various minor fixes/improvements - Update libfreeipmi core API to use poll() instead of select(), to avoid issues with applications with a high number of threads. ---- As a side point, while IPv6 networking support has been added, IPv6 configuration in ipmi-config & bmc-config is not supported in this release. Work to support IPv6 configuration in ipmi-config was completed. However I lost contact with Ubuntu developers I was collaborating with on this work (they do not appear to work there anymore). I lack the hardware to test IPv6 IPMI support, so I elected to leave this code out of FreeIPMI 1.6.1 b/c it remains untested. It can be added back in once it is tested.
