FreeIPMI 1.3.1 - 08/22/13
-------------------------

Tools - New Features
--------------------
o In all tools reporting time (ipmi-sel, ipmi-fru, ipmi-oem,
  bmc-device, ipmi-sensors, ipmi-dcmi), timestamps are now
  reporting under the assumption the timestamp is already in
  localtime (compared to being in UTC time and converted to
  localtime).  This is by definition in the IPMI specification.
o In all tools reporting time (ipmi-sel, ipmi-fru, ipmi-oem,
  bmc-device, ipmi-sensors, ipmi-dcmi), support
  --utc-to-localtime, --localtime-to-utc, and --utc-offset
  options to allow users to adjust timestamps as needed for
  certain environments.
o In ipmi-fru, support output of DDR3 SDRAM modules.
o In ipmi-fru, support output of new FRU multirecords, most
  notably extended DC output and extended DC load (per FRU
  Revision 1.2 update).
o In bmc-device, support --get-sel-time-utc-offset and
  --set-sel-time-utc-offset.

Tools - Bug Fixes/Minor Changes
-------------------------------
o In ipmi-fru, report power supply low/high end voltage ranges as
  signed numbers (per FRU Revision 1.2 update).
o In ipmi-fru, output "unspecified" for manufacturing date/time
  or peak capacity as appropriate (per FRU Revision 1.2 update).
o In ipmi-fru, bridge additional FRU entries as appropriate.
o In all tools reporting time (ipmi-sel, ipmi-fru, ipmi-oem,
  bmc-device, ipmi-sensors, ipmi-dcmi), special timestamps such
  as Post-Init and Unspecified will now be output.
o Fix output corner case with entity sensor names in various
  tools.

Libraries
---------
o In libfreeipmi, support additional chassis types (per FRU
  Revision 1.2 update).
o In libfreeipmi, support new FRU multirecord types (per FRU
  Revision 1.2 update).
o In libfreeipmi, support new IPMI_FRU_FLAGS_READ_RAW 'fru'
  sub-library flag to read data from the FRU raw without parsing
  headers/records.
o In libfreeipmi, add support for DDR3 SDRAM FRU entries and
  JEDEC manufacturer IDs.
o In libfreeipmi, add support for Get SEL Time UTC Offset and
  Set SEL Time UTC Offset payloads.
o In libfreeipmi 'sel' sub-library, support
  IPMI_SEL_PARAMETER_UTC_OFFSET,
  IPMI_SEL_STRING_FLAGS_UTC_TO_LOCALTIME, and
  IPMI_SEL_STRING_FLAGS_LOCALTIME_TO_UTC options/flags.
o In libfreeipmi, do not pad legacy byte on IPMI 1.5 packets. 
  Legacy byte should be padded on ethernet frame, not IP packet.
o In libfreeipmi, 'sdr' sub-library, when creating SDR cache, add
  checksums to cache to ensure data in cache is not corrupted. 
  Older caches without checksums still backwards compatible
  supported.
o In libfreeipmi, support new
  IPMI_ERR_COMMAND_INVALID_OR_UNSUPPORTED
  error code for IPMI commands that are invalid or unsupported.
