Version Information

Known Bugs:

The problem resolving IP addresses in the configuration file still exists. The IP address will work if a reverse DNS lookup will resolve it's name. The workaround is to have the machine running the NUT server have a DNS resolvable name. If the server does not have a DNS name, this can be achieved by adding an entry with a name in the c:\windows\hosts (for windows 9x/ME) or the c:\winnt\system32\drivers\etc\hosts (for NT, 2000, and maybe XP) on the Windows machine running WinNUT. An entry in this file should be on a line by itself and of the form
```
1.2.3.4 upsserver
```
where 1.2.3.4 is the ip address of the server the ups runs on and "upsserver" is the name you want to give that server (and then use this name in the upsmon.conf). Be sure this name isn't already in use (ie, don't use things like localhost or cnn.com)

Notes:

As of the NUT 0.50.0 release the default port has changed to 3493 (from 3305) and this release reflects that change. If you are running against an older NUT version, you can either specify that port as part of the ups specification in the upsmon.conf (ie upsname@host:port) or change the default port in the WinNUT configuration tool.

Bugs fixed & Improvements

Fixed bug that cause IP addresses in system declarations in the upsmon.conf to not resolve (UPDATE 12/1/2002 - I've gotten reports this bug still exists in Win2k Advanced server and Win XP. See Known Bugs above)
Ported over new feature from NUT upsmon branch that helps resolve race conditions when power is restored soon after ups battery goes critical
Added new feature that allows shutdown after x seconds of UPS being on battery.
Added some validation to the Configuration tool
