[Advert] Harmony 3.4.2 Beta released
A major overhaul of the macros in Harmony has been done, meaning more
functions, greater reliability and increased execution speed.
Interestingly we now allow access to the device status so that you can
now include the device status in "IF THEN" statements.
We have included global variables in this release which should be useful
specifically when recording system states such as the turning of night
and day as reported by the new MS13E2 devices.

Darryl.

Here we go....
Windows (Stable) Binaries:
http://heanet.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/apcupsd/winapcupsd-3.8.6.ta
r.gz
Linux (Stable) Source:
http://heanet.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/apcupsd/apcupsd-3.8.6.tar.g
z
RedHat 8 (Stable) Binaries:
http://heanet.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/apcupsd/apcupsd-3.8.6-1_rh8
.i386.rpm
Do bear in mind that the windows version is compiled against cygwin and
I haven't tried it myself. Also, I don't know how useful a rh8 binary
would be on mandrake. YMMV. If you need more info, take a look at
www.apcupsd.com

Lee Causier, reporting from the armchair.
