Hi all, It's about time to release a new version of dmidecode. The previous version was released almost two years ago. The most important changes from 2.9 to 2.10 are as follows:
dmidecode: * Support for Solaris (x86 only, of course). * Possibility to dump the SMBIOS/DMI table to a small binary file (option --dump-bin). * Possibility to read the SMBIOS/DMI table from such binary files (option --from-dump). * Support for SMBIOS 2.6. This includes new chassis types, new processor family names, new processor family upgrade names, bus address for system slots, and a new entry type for on-board devices, amongst many other minor changes. * Support for DMI entry type 31 (Boot integrity services). * Many processor family names taken from the CIM Schema document. vpddecode: * No longer ask users to report broken records. * Fix --quiet option. Full list of changes can bee seen at: http://cvs.savannah.gnu.org/viewvc/dmidecode/CHANGELOG?root=dmidecode&view=markup Thanks for Matt Domsch (Dell) for contributing code. I plan to release dmidecode 2.10 by the end of the month, most probably on November 23th, 2008. Please test the current CVS version if you can and want to help, and report if anything doesn't look right. You can get the latest CVS snapshot using the following command: cvs -z3 -d:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/sources/dmidecode co dmidecode In particular, I am very interested in reports about SMBIOS 2.5 and 2.6 machines. I was able to run some tests on such machines, but my coverage is relatively limited compared to the large number of SMBIOS 2.3 and 2.4 tables I have access to. I am also interested in tests on non-x86 hardware and non-Linux systems, as I wasn't able to test many of these lately. Thanks, -- Jean Delvare _______________________________________________ http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/dmidecode-devel
