Description:   Opened: 2004-06-21 01:33 0000 
As of June 11th, 2004 version 2.8.7 of sensors has been released. 

Avaible in portage I2C 2.8.4, Lm-Sensors 2.8.6 (masked)

If someone is using even 2.6.x kernel series it is esensial to have newest user tools available for him. Authors recomend:
 Kernels 2.6.5-rc1 and later: lm_sensors 2.8.6 or CVS
 Kernels 2.6.3-rc2 to 2.6.4: lm_sensors 2.8.5 

This means that at present 2.8.7 user tools are not essensial for newest kernel, they are however several issues resolved (diffs between 2.8.6 and 2.8.7)
For sensors-detect script it would include:

Rework Super I/O detection
Support SiS655/SiS96x
Support ADT7461 and ADT7467
Better support for ADM1027, ADT7460 and ADT7463
Explicitly support ADM1028
Scan all logical devices of PC87365 and PC87366
Detect LM92, LM76, MAX6633, MAX6634, MAX6635
Detect eeproms with software write protect (not enabled by default)
Support ALi 1563 (2.6 only)
Drop LTC1710 support
Use byte reads for probing on ranges 0x30-0x37 and 0x50-0x5F
Improve LM89 and LM99 support
Support GeForce FX 5900 video cards
Fix devfs misdetection (Aurelien Jarno)
Detect 6300ESB, ICH6
Fix double detection of ISA chips
Support MAX1619
Support PC87373 Super-I/O
Fix unknown adapters appearing multiple times
Refine MAX6650/MAX6651 detection

2.4.x kernel series users should welcome new ebuild as well as drivers for them are not included in kernel

------- Comment #1 From Paulo Fidalgo 2004-06-23 11:40:20 0000 ------- 
I hope to see this version on x86 soon, cos it has some changes on my sensors,
and the actual x86 is 2.8.1 wich is very old.

------- Comment #2 From Anno v. Heimburg 2004-06-27 05:00:52 0000 ------- 
Where are lm-sensors > 2.8.1? I need them for linux-2.6, and 
$ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge -p lm-sensors

doesn't show anything newer than 2.8.1.

Thank you,
Anno.

------- Comment #3 From Michael Evans 2004-06-28 16:59:08 0000 ------- 
~x86 and i only see 2.8.1 for both...

version bump

Well, did a version bump.
That patch is not necessary anymore - commented in my ebuild.

That is all. At least it works for me...

------- Comment #5 From Joe Kappus 2004-07-05 20:15:49 0000 ------- 
works here.

------- Comment #6 From Xake 2004-07-12 01:27:31 0000 ------- 
Why are the latter lm-sensors packages.mask?
All the versions I am by the author recommended are there becouse I use the 2.6 kernel. 
Has it something to do with that 2.8.5 for instans does not have i2c as a dependencie while 2.8.1 (witch is the latest x86) has?

------- Comment #7 From Tim Yamin (RETIRED) 2004-07-12 08:10:50 0000 ------- 
Both are now in CVS [ ~x86 ] - it should reach Portage within an hour. Thanks!
