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. |
