Release Notes mpt-status 1.1.4 (2005-11-12)
==============================

General Information
-------------------
This release mainly brings you sort of a workaround for the annoying and much
reported mismatch output:

    Version mismatch on pagetype 8, page number 0: expected 5, got 1

It's not exactly clear how to properly address this but the modus operandi is
to simply ignore it since mpt-status only accesses those pages read-only and
thus cannot harm your hardware configuration.

The option parsing on command line has been completely reworked and you will
get a new overview by calling --help.

Thomas Richter sent in a patch to support the selection of different IOC units,
meaning controllers. Many thanks.

Please read the doc/Changelog for detailed information on the changes. Redhat and Fedora based derivates don't have to use the following line anymore

    make DFLAGS="-DREDHAT"

since we have simple autodetection of those distros no in the Makefile. Note,
that this release was pre-tested by following fearless people:

    Darren Dittrich
    Warren Howard

Otherwise I have not been able to test it since our company has shipped all
remaining hardware based on the MPT SCSI controller.


Upgrade
-------
There shouldn't be an issue with upgrading from the previous (1.1.3) version.
Note, however, that the command line options might be changed at any time of
the development. This will be documented accordingly in the release notes, so
your scripts using mpt-status will not break.

With the addition of new parameters, notably the IOC unit, some cleanup has
been done regarding the output based on the parameters '-q' and '-v'. This means
that you should double check the output generated of the 1.1.3 version with the
released 1.1.4 version and add appropriate flags if it changed for you.
