| 1 | There have been many, many changes between version 1 and version 2 of this |
|---|
| 2 | package. Some of the more important ones: |
|---|
| 3 | |
|---|
| 4 | * Fully modular setup. This makes it much easier to support new hardware, |
|---|
| 5 | and consumes less kernel memory. |
|---|
| 6 | * Full support for I2C busses. This includes the VIA chipset I2C bus. If it |
|---|
| 7 | is supported by Simon Vogl, it is supported by us. |
|---|
| 8 | * Many things which were done in kernel space are now done in user space. |
|---|
| 9 | The most obvious result is the absence of /proc/sensors. Use instead the |
|---|
| 10 | supplied 'sensors' program. |
|---|
| 11 | * No more limits on the number of chips. |
|---|
| 12 | * All detected chips get their own directory under /proc/sys/dev/sensors |
|---|
| 13 | * /proc/bus contains a list of all I2C/SMBus adapters found. |
|---|
| 14 | * All applications which want to use sensor data can now access it through |
|---|
| 15 | the new libsensors. |
|---|
| 16 | * A configuration file which is read by the above mentioned library, which |
|---|
| 17 | can (through libsensors) be used by any application, and which describes |
|---|
| 18 | how all sensor readings are to be interpreted. |
|---|
| 19 | * All code has been completely rewritten. |
|---|
| 20 | * Many new drivers |
|---|
| 21 | |
|---|
| 22 | By now (version 2.3.0) so many things have changed that we do not even try |
|---|
| 23 | to keep the above list up-to-date. Just don't use version 1 anymore. |
|---|
