lm_sensors CHANGES file ----------------------- This is a list of the most important changes between 2.x versions. It is by no means complete, listing only user-visible changes which are interesting. The ultimate way to know what has changed is to run diff, or even neater, ask CVS about it: * Checkout the archive (see doc/cvs for how you can do this) * Determine which tags are valid, by running this command from the project root directory: cvs status -v -l Makefile Valid tags are usually like form V2-1-0 for version 2.1.0 * Ask cvs for the difference between two versions: cvs diff -r TAG1 -r TAG2 DIFF-OPTIONS for example: cvs diff -r V2-0-0 -r V2-0-1 -u ----------------------- 2.5.4 or 2.6.0 (2000????)
