lm_sensors

This is a maintenance release that adds user-space
support for the following chips: National
Semiconductor PC87427, Fintek F71872F/FG, Winbond
W83627DHG, and Analog Devices ADM1029.
Incompatibilities between the fan control scripts
and the most recent hardware monitoring drivers
were addressed, and a dozen new devices are known
to the detection script.

Support for the SMSC LPC47M192, Abit uGuru, ITE
IT8716F and IT8718F, and Winbond W83627EHF chips
was added to libsensors and sensors. The output of
the sensors-detect script was made clearer, and
detection of about 40 new chips was added. Many
driver cleanups and bugfixes were backported from
Linux 2.6.

Support for the Fintek F71805F and Winbond W83687THF Super-I/O integrated sensors was added. Dozens of cleanups and bugfixes were backported from Linux 2.6, in particular to the w83627hf and w83792d drivers. On the I2C protocol front, PEC support was completely rewritten and PEC support was added to the lm90 driver (as was done in Linux 2.6.) The speed and output quality of the decode-dimms script were much improved. Note that libsensors now requires libsysfs for Linux 2.6 support.

Support for the ALi M1563 SMBus master was added.
Bugs were fixed in the adm1031, lm93, and smsc47m1
chip drivers. A memory leak was fixed in
libsensors, and support for the new Linux 2.6
hwmon class was added. Linux 2.6 support was added
to the rrd and decode-dimms tools.

This release adds support for emc6d102, nForce4, and w83792d. It adds library support for several 2.6 kernel drivers. It fixes bugs in the bmcsensors, ds1621, i2c-ali1535, i2c-i801, lm78, lm90, and lm93 drivers. It has several enhancements and fixes for the user space programs.
