There have been many, many changes between version 1 and version 2 of this
|
|
package. Some of the more important ones:
|
|
|
|
* Fully modular setup. This makes it much easier to support new hardware,
|
|
and consumes less kernel memory.
|
|
* Full support for I2C busses. This includes the VIA chipset I2C bus. If it
|
|
is supported by Simon Vogl, it is supported by us.
|
|
* Many things which were done in kernel space are now done in user space.
|
|
The most obvious result is the absence of /proc/sensors. Use instead the
|
|
supplied 'sensors' program.
|
|
* No more limits on the number of chips.
|
|
* All detected chips get their own directory under /proc/sys/dev/sensors
|
|
* /proc/bus contains a list of all I2C/SMBus adapters found.
|
|
* All applications which want to use sensor data can now access it through
|
|
the new libsensors.
|
|
* A configuration file which is read by the above mentioned library, which
|
|
can (through libsensors) be used by any application, and which describes
|
|
how all sensor readings are to be interpreted.
|
|
* All code has been completely rewritten.
|
|
* Many new drivers
|
|
|
|
By now (version 2.3.0) so many things have changed that we do not even try
|
|
to keep the above list up-to-date. Just don't use version 1 anymore.
