In bmc-device, there is support for the new --rearm-sensor option. In ipmi-sensors, there is a workaround for a sensor reading issue on the Sun Blade x6250 and Sun Blade 6000M2. In libipmiconsole, there is a workaround for a bug in the Dell Poweredge M605, M610, and M915 where the instance count of SOL was always returned as 0. Other more minor bugfixes and documentations updates are also in this update.


Release Notes: This release includes a new ipmi-pet tool to parse and interpret platform event traps (PET). A new --sdr-cache-file option is available in all SDR related tools (ipmi-sensors, ipmi-sel, etc.) to specify a specific SDR cache file to use.
