Hi all,

I just released i2c-tools version 3.0.1. The most important changes
since version 3.0.0 are:

* A new helper script for use with the i2c-stub kernel driver is
  included. It is named i2c-stub-from-dump and is installed by default.
  It can be used to feed i2c-stub from a chip register dump previously
  obtained using i2cdump. This can be very useful when working on a
  driver for an I2C/SMBus device you don't own.

* A new option to i2cdump, to let the user specify the register range
  to dump.

* Improvements to decode-dimms, contributed by Trent Piepho. The
  decoding of DDR2 SDRAM timings is complete now, and SPD data can be
  read from hexdumps.

* Minor improvements to decode-vaio, in particular support for recent
  kernels which hide some of the Vaio EEPROM data to non-root users.

For a more detailed listing of changed, see the CHANGES document in the
i2c-tools package.

Note to packagers: perl scripts have been renamed to omit the
trailing .pl (for example decode-dimms.pl is now named decode-dimms). I
think it's more user-friendly that way.
