add a couple changelog notes for contributed patches

always initialize pointer to NULL at start of description
function as callers expect it to be initialized but it
isn't always.

Added user subcommand

adding user subcommand

Added constants for user commands

Fixed mispelling

Added documentation for the lanplus interface

Use upper case B for sending breaks

Added lots of documentation for lanplus and Serial Over LAN commands.

Store SOL character data input length separately than the data length
of the whole packet. Turns out we need it in order to determine whether
the BMC only accepted part of our data.

Support NACKs

Allow update of other SOL parameters

Increased maximum payload size

Added support for callback so that lanplus interface can output data
received while waiting for an ACK.

Only send as much data as we are allowed. Added support for
callback so that lanplus library can output data received while
we are waiting for an ACK.

SOL plumbing work. Lots of reformatting.

Fixed memory leak. Added assert.

Add command "bmc info" and related output

Attached is a patch to add an "info" subcommand to the
ipmitool "bmc" command in version 1.5.9. This provides
useful information about the BMC, though I am uncertain
as to the format of the bmc device ID field.

Patch submitted by ebrower at users.sourceforge.net
Fix "chassis identify" on some BMCs

On the Intel SE7501WV2 w/ BMC firmware 1.20 it seems
the Chassis Identify command only supports one request
byte (Identify Interval). This patch will cause
requests to use only one byte unless "force" is
specified. The return value of intf->sendrecv() is
also now checked prior to printing an outcome to the
console.

It seems on the Intel SE7501WV2 F/W 1.20 we cannot
assume 2-byte requests will be honored. The BMC
returns CC 0xC7 (Request Data Length Invalid) but this
is not defined within the IPMI 1.5 spec so I assume
other BMC vendors could return other completion codes.

The send_sol interface now returns an impi_rs*

Incremental changes for SOL. Support for breaks (R. Sunshine). Much
refactoring and cleanup. More coming soon.

A bit more error checking

Added escape sequences ala ssh. ~. exits. ~^Z suspends, etc.

Better packet tracking. In fact, great packet tracking.

More state for SOL session needed
