Hi all,
Dmidecode 2.9 was released today as was initially planned. The changes
from 2.8 are as follows:
dmidecode:
* Support of the SMBIOS 2.5 specification. It adds many enumerated
values for recent hardware, as well as CPU core and thread count
reporting.
* Decoding of 3 HP-specific entries. More vendor-specific entries can
be supported later if vendors contribute code or documentation.
* Runtime detection of EFI, so that a single binary can support
Intel-based Macintosh machines and regular x86 machines.
* Better IA-64 support.
* Fixes to the decoding of individual fields, including the CPU
signature of recent CPU models.
biosdecode:
* Support of the FJKEYINF entry point type (for Fujitsu laptops).
vpddecode:
* The product name lookup table was dropped. It was unreliable and a
burden to maintain.
general:
* biosdecode, ownership and vpddecode are no longer built on IA-64.
