New inxi, new man. Huge update, new line types, huge graphics upgrade, new
switches, bug fixes, glitch fixes, enhancements, you name it, this has got it!! Note that since this features a new primary line item (-j / --swap Swap:), the version number has been bumped to 3.1.0, making this a major version upgrade, the first since the new Perl inxi rewrite was launched, though of course 3.0.0 contained many new line items as well, but this is the first actually new line item since then. Bugs: 1. Big bug fix: if -z used, and -p, and user had partitions mounted in $HOME directory, the partitions would buggily duplicate in the output. 2. See Fix 1, inxi was reporting the wrong (or no in some cases) Xorg driver because it was using the wrong Xorg log, it was only searcing in the original /var/log/Xorg.0.log file, not the newer alternative path locations. Fixes: 1. Both an enhancement and a fix, users reported Xorg log file location changes. Fix is that now inxi uses wildcard searches of all readable locations that can contain the log files, then collects a list of them, and uses the last modified one. This ensures that the best possible guess is made about which actual log file is current, which should lead to significantly more reliable Xorg driver reports overall. Note that this fix works for user level and root level, it will always use the most recent readable file no matter what. For root, that should translate to the most recent on an absolute level Xorg log file. This issue was caused by gdm moving from Xorg.0.log to Xorg.1.log on some systems, but not all, and also, the location is often but not always now: ~/.local/share/xorg/Xorg.[01234..].log [except for root, which is why root has to search for all user Xorg log files to find the most recent one. There were many red-herrings in this issue report, so it took some research to dig through those to the real data sources. 2. Now that the compositor detection is out of early testing mode, enabled always on compositor detection for Wayland systems. Since the compositor is the Wayland display server, it makes sense to always show it if Wayland. Note that there is still no known way to actually reliably get Wayland data beyond simple environmental variables that let inxi detect Wayland is running the desktop. Lack of reliable logs or debugging tools across Wayland compositors makes this entire process about 10-50x more difficult than it should have been. 3. In keeping with 2., also moved compositor: item to be right after server: item. 4. Debian bug: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?dist=unstable;package=inxi requested that HTTP::Tiny be set to default always check SSL certificates. Now inxi does that, and --no-ssl flag disables this, which makes the Perl http downloader now work roughly the same as wget, curl, etc. 5. Man page fixes, added pointer placeholders for out of alphabetical order options, so you can find anything by looking down the alpha sorted lists, like: --swap - See -j. Since inxi is running out of single letters that match new features, it's easier to point man readers to the right item without them having to already know it to find it. Also added --dbg [2-xx] pointer to github inxi-perl/docs/inxi-values.txt so people interested can learn how to trip the various per feature screen debuggers. Enhancements: 1. updated ubuntu ids, added 'focal LTS'. 2. USB Graphic devices added. This will add support for USB graphics adapters, an uncommon but existing category, often used in SOC boards, for example, but also on desktops, and things like USB webcams. Leaving these off was really just an oversight, the programming internally had the data, it just wasn't using it. 3. Support added for TV card type multimedia devices in Graphics. That was actually a long term oversight, I'd simply missed that in the device ID documentation, one of the multimedia device subtypes is Video device. 4. Huge, massive, internal upgrade to allow for -Ga output, which gives a technically accurate Xorg > Display > Screen > Monitor breakdown. Note that Display and Screen data come from xdpyinfo, and Monitor info comes from xrandr, but if xrandr is missing, the Screen information shows. Technically for -G, -Gxx, end users see very little difference except the per Screen / per Monitor resolutions are listed with a 1: type counter per item. Note that Xorg Screens are NOT Monitors, they are a virtual space Xorg constructs out of the pieces of hardware that make up the Screen space. In many cases, 1 Xorg Screen contains only 1 Monitor, but the dimensions or dpi are frequenty different. New output items: Display: ... display ID: [Xorg Screen identifier, like :0.0]; screens: [Total Xorg Screens in current Display]; [s-default: [if > 1 Screens, default Screen number]] Screen-x: [Screen number]; s-res: [Xorg Screen resolution]; s-dpi: [Xorg Screen dpi]; s-size: [Xorg Screen mm (inch) size; s-diag: [diagonal of Xorg Screen size] Monitor-x: [Monitor Xorg ID]; res: [Actual monitor pixel dimensions]; hz: [actual monitor reported frequency]; dpi: [actual monitor dpi as calculated from actual monitor resolution/size; size: [actual monitor size in mm (inch); diag: [actual diagonal size in mm (inch). 4a. -Gxx now shows Xorg s-dpi: for the Screen as well, after the main resolution section for -G. 5. Big improvement in error messages and logging for Xorg driver detections, this logic is much more robust now, but after the main driver fix, also much less likely to ever be seen. 6. Almost not visible to users, but major internal graphics refactor allows now for more modular treatment, and eventual Wayland data sourcing. Currently most Wayland data sourcing is in stub form, or only logically possible, but as it grows possible (if ever, since Wayland protocal appears to have totally neglected enforcing single location logging, and single tool debugging for the entire Wayland protocol of compositors, a massive oversight in my view). The -Ga refactors internally made this much more possible, and I integrated switches and tests, and fallbacks, and stubs in some locations, so it was clear where current Xorg specific logic is, and where future Wayland logic will fit in, sort of anyway. 7. Debugger tools added for new features, or most of them. 8. New primary line item: --swap / -j. This moves all swap data to a dedicated Swap: line, which looks roughly the same as Partition: lines, but when -j/--swap is used, all swap types, not only physical partition swaps, show. This should make some users happy. 9. Added more cpu family IDs for Zen 2 series of cpu, tweaked some later Intel cpu family ids in terms of cpu arch name tool. 10. By request, added ability filter out all UUID or Partition Label strings in -j, -o, -Sa, -p, -P. Those are tripped by --filter-label and --filter-uuid. Mostly useful in fringe cases, for example, replacing label or UUID from -Sa kernel boot parameters with root=LABEL=<filter>, or in cases you want to show full -v8 output without showing UUID or Labels, whatever. 11. Added --no-dig/--dig plus configuration option NO_DIG=true. This disables dig in cases where dig is installed but failed due to maybe network firewall rules or something, and WAN IP detection fails. Normally you always want to use dig, it's faster, more reliable, and safer, than all the other regular downloader based methods, but we have seen server setups where for some reason those types of dig requests were blocked, thus disabling WAN IP detection. 12. Added in WAN IP failure case, if dig was used, suggestion to try again with --no-dig, since most users are unlikely to learn about this issue, or the solution to it. 13. Added single letter shortcut -J for --usb, maybe this will help people discover usb component of inxi, now you can request for instance: inxi -FJaz 14. Added xonsh to supported shells, that had tripped a perl undefined value for start client bug since xonsh uses single word for version, xonsh/234 so the default value, 2nd word, was undefined. 15. More SSD and USB drive vendors from the endless fountain over at Linux Hardware Database (linuxliteos.com). Changes: 1. Small change in how screen resolutions are output in -G non -a mode, now each Screen / Monitor will increment by 1 the 1: [resolution~hz] key. This helps make it more readable. Note that in non -a mode, the increments are just based on Screen, then Monitor, Monitor, Screen, and so on, counts. Most users will only have one Screen systems, but more advanced setups may use the Xorg > 1 Screen, each screen able to run > 1 monitors. The counts in say, a 2 Screen system, with 3 monitors, would be: 1: res1 [from screen 0, monitor 1] 2: res2 [from screen 0, monitor 2] 3: res3 [from screen 1, monitor 1. If xrandr is not installed, it would show: 1: res1 [from screen 0] 2: res2 [from screen 1] |

Bugs:
1. Fixed undefined error that could happen, in rare cases, in hdd_temp logic. Fixes: 1. Fixed Elbrus cpu nazming, model 9 is 8CV, not 8CB (Cyrillic error) 2. Preventitive, was not using '-' quite correctly in all regex ranges. 3. Had wrong desktop string listed in Unity 4. Reordered Family/Drive model in usb drive reports, it's to make it more obvious what is what. 5. Adjusted indexing of splits to get better results in corner cases. 6. Fixed some numbering issues. 7. Added trimming n1 from nvme0 type names for nvme, this corrects some issues users were having. 8. Fixed a division by 0 error in smartctl data grabber. 9. Fixed a Perl issue, didn't realize perl treats 000 as a string, not 0. 10. Another Perl fix, int() only wants to get numeric values sent to it, I'd assumed a different behavior, non numerics get converted to 0, but that's not how Perl sees things. Things like this, by the way, are why Perl is so absurdly fast. Enhancements: 1. More disk vendors. The list will never be complete!! We have found eternal churn!! Thanks to linux lite hardware database as always. 2. Big one!!! Now inxi uses smartctl data, if installed, for getting advanced drive information (with -a). See man and help for details. Will show failing drives, etc. Lots of info can be available, but sometimes data is not in smartctl db, so inxi can't find it, that's not an inxi bug, it's just how it is. 3. Made hours on more human readable, into days/hours, for -a smartctl disk report. 4. Added $test[12] for smartctl data printout, and $test[13] for disk array print out. Note that advanced debugger outputs can change or vary depending on what is being worked on so don't in general rely on these always being around. But they do tend to say stuck in place once I add them. 5. Added some nvme stuff, spare reserve, if you need it, you'll appreciate it, if not, you'll never know it's there. 6. By request from some forum issue thread: made --host only be shown onif not --filter or not --host. This makes -z remove hostname, but retains ability to do absolute overrides. Hostname should have always been filtered out like that, it was an oversight. I think that was Manjaro who asked that, but I forget. Note that this change, as usual, will not alter expected behaviors if users have config item for hostname set. 7. Added support for picom compositor, thanks user codebling for that, I think that's compiz fork, the real branch that is that is being developed. |

New version, man page, exciting changes!!
Bugs: 1. issue #200 - forgot to add all variants for -p, now works with --partition-full and --partitions-full 2. issue #199 - another one, forgot to add --disk to -D for long version. Thanks adrian15 for both of these, he was testing something and discovered these were missing. 3. Issue #187 an issue with RAID syntax not being handled in a certain case, thanks EnochTheWise for following through on this one. This turned out to be a bad copy paste, a test pattern did not match the match pattern. Fixes: 1. Fixed some docs typos. 2. Issue #188 fixed protections and filters for some glxinfo output handlers. 3. Issue #195, for Elbrus bit detection. 4. Added filter to cpu data, was not skipping if arm, so Model string was treated numerically. Enhancements: 1. Added rescatux to Debian system base detections. This closes issue #202, again from adrian15, thanks. 2. For cpu architecture, updated for latest AMD ryzen and other families, like Zen 3, which is just coming out re available data. Also latest Intel, which are trickier to ID right now, but I think I got the latest ones right, That's things like coffee lake, amber lake, comet lake, etc. 3. Huge one, full (hopefully out of the box) Russian Elbrus CPU support. Thanks to the alt-linux and the others who helped provide data and feedback to get support. Note that this was also part of correcting 64 bit detection for e2k type, which is how Elbrus IDs internally. See issue #197 which I've left open for the time being for more information on this CPU and how it's now handled by inxi. Note all available data should now work for Elbrus, including physical cpu/core counts etc. Elbrus do not show flag information, nor do they use min/max speed, so that data isn't available, but everything else seems to work well. 4. Eternal disk vendors. Thanks linux lite hardware database, you continue to help make the disk vendor feature work by supplying every known vendor ever seen. 5. To close debian bug report https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=942194 Note that the fix is simply to give the user the option to disable this behavior with the new --no-sudo and NO_SUDO configuration file options. This issue should never have been filed as a bug since even the poster admitted it was a wishlist item, but because of how debian bug tracker works, it's hard to get rid of invalid bugs. Note that this is the internal use of sudo for hddtemp and file, not starting inxi with sudo, so using this option or configuration item just removes sudo from the command. Note that because the user did not do as requested, and never actually filed a github wishlist issue, and since his request was vague and basically pointless, the fix is just to let you switch off sudo, that's all. |

New version, many small fixes. And a hall of shame, LOL.
Bugs: 1. Issue #188 exposed a situation in glxinfo where the required opengl fields are present but contain null data. This happens when a system does not have the required opengl drivers, which was the case here. inxi failed to handle that. Thanks LinuxMonger for posting the required data to figure this corner case out. 2. Fixed a long time bug in Disk vendor ID, there was an eq (string equals) where it was supposed to use regex pattern match. Oops. Would have led to disk vendor id failures in several cases. Fixes: 1. help, man updates for RAM/Memory data, more clarifications. 2. Refactored RepoData class/package, to make it easier to handle repo string data, and make it all overall cleaner internally, and enable future extensions to certain features in inxi that may or may not one day become active. 3. Added to some regex compares \Q$VAR\E to disable regex characters in strings. I should have used that a long time ago, oh well, better late than never! 4. Found a horrible case were xdpyinfo uses 'preferred' instead of the actual pixel dimensions, shame on whoever allowed that output!!! shame! Had to add a workaround to make sure numeric values are present, if not, then use the fallback, which means, 2x more data parsing to get data that should not require that, but in this example, it did (an Arch derivative, but it could be xdpyinfo itself, don't know)> Enhancements: 1. More fixes on issue #185. Thanks tubecleaner for finding and provding required data to really solve a set of RAM issues that apply particularly in production systems. This issue report led to 2 new options: --memory-short, which only shows a basic RAM report. Memory: RAM: total: 31.43 GiB used: 14.98 GiB (47.7%) Report: arrays: 1 slots: 4 modules: 2 type: DDR4 And a 2nd, --memory-modules, only shows the occupied slots. This can be useful in situations where it's a server or vm with a lot of slots, most empty: Memory: RAM: total: 31.43 GiB used: 15.44 GiB (49.1%) Array-1: capacity: 256 GiB slots: 4 EC: None Device-1: DIMM 1 size: 16 GiB speed: 2400 MT/s Device-2: DIMM 1 size: 16 GiB speed: 2400 MT/s Note that both of these options trigger -m, so -m itself is not required. 2. More disk vendors!! The list never ends! Thanks linux-lite hardware database and users for supplying, and buying/obtaining, apparently every disk known to mankind. 3. Added fallback XFCE detection, in cases were the system does not have xprop installed, it's still possible to do a full detection of xfce, including toolkit, so now inxi does that, one less dependency to detect one more desktop. 4. Added vmwgfx driver to xorg drivers list. Note, I've never actually seen this in the wild, but I did see it as the kernel reported driver from lspci, so it may exist. Unfixed: 1. Issue #187 EnochTheWise (?) did not supply the required debugger data so there is a RAID ZFS issue that will not get fixed until the required debugger data is supplied. Please do not waste all our time filing an issue if you have no intention of actually following through so we can get it fixed. Note that a key way we get issues here is from Perl errors on the screen, which are a frequent cause of someone realizing something is wrong. This is why I'm not going to do a hack fix for the RAID ZFS issue, then the error messages will go away, and it will likely never get handled. For examples of good, useful, productive issue reports, and how to do them right: #188 and #185, both of which led to good improvements in how inxi handles corner cases in those areas. |

New version. Bug fixes, updates.
Bugs: 1. Issue #185 exposed a small long standing bug in ram max module size logic. Was not retaining the value each loop iteration, which could lead to way off max module size guesses. Note that this could lead to a VERY wrong max module size report. 2. Issue #185 also exposed a rarely seen undefined value for ram reports, was not tested for undefined, now is. Fixes: 1. cleanup of comments in start client debugger that made it unclear. 2. Got rid of all the legacy development modules that were in inxi-perl/modules. These were totally out of date and pointless to retain. Enhancements: 1. Added eoan ubuntu 19-10 release name 2. Added zen cpu model ID. 3. Disk vendors and new vendor IDs added. Thanks linuxlite hardware database. 4. Made a backend tool to check for new unhandled disks, this makes updating disk/vendor IDs a lot easier. 5. Updated inxi-perl/docs with new links etc. |

New version, new man, new feature!! Bug fixes!
Bugs: 1. issue #182 - in freebsd, there was an oversight in the pciconf parser, it was using unfiltered strings as regex pattern, and of course, a string flipped an error. Fix was to add the regex cleaner to the string before it's used in test. 2. NOTE: issue #182 had a second bug, but the issue poster didn't follow up with data or output so it couldn't be fixed. This was related to a syntax change in usbdevs -v output in FreeBSD. Such changes are too common, but it might also simply be a variant I have not seen or handled, but so far no data, so can't fix. Don't blame me if you get this bug, but do post requested debugger data if you want it fixed! Fixes: 1. Updated man for weather, explained more clearly how to use country codes for weather output. More clarifying in general about weather location, and weather restrictions. Enhancements: 1. Added avx/avx2 to default flag list in -C short form. Thanks damentz from liquorix for clarifying why that was a good idea. Note the initial issue came up in a Debian issue report, not here. People!! please post issues here, and don't bug maintainers with feature requests! Maintainers aren't in a position to add a feature, so you should go straight to the source. 1.a. Created in inxi-perl/docs new doc file: cpu-flags.txt, which explains all the flags, and also covers the short form flags and explains why they are used. 2. To resolve another issue, I made a new documentation file: inxi-perl/docs/inxi-custom-recommends.txt This is instructions for maintainers of distros who do not use rpm/apt/pacman but still want the --recommends feature to output their package pool package names for missing packages. I decided to not allow more than the default 3 package managers because no matter what people say, if I allow in more, the maintainer will vanish or lose interest, and I'll be stuck having to maintain their package lists forever. Also, it's silly to even include that package list for any distro that does not use rpm/apt/pacman, since the list is just wasted lines. Instructions in doc file show what to change, and how, and has an example to make it clear. Odds of this actually being used? Not high, lol, but that's fine, if people want it done, they can do it, if not, nothing bad happens, it just won't show any suggested install package, no big deal. 3. Using the new disk vendor method, added even more disk vendors. Thanks linux litet hardware database!! 4. EXCITING!! A new --admin/-a option, suggested by a user on techpatterns.com/forums/ Now -S or -b or -F with -a option for GNU/Linux shows the kernel boot parameters, from /proc/cmdline. Didn't find anything comparable for BSDs, if you can tell me where to look, I'll add it for those too, but wasn't anywhere I looked. Do the BSDs even use that method? Don't know, but the logic is there, waiting to be used if someone shows me how to get it cleanly. The 'parameters:' item shows in the main 'System:' -S output, and will just show the entire kernel parameters used to boot. This could be very helpful to distros who often have to determine if for example graphics blacklists are correctly applied for non free drivers, like nomodeset etc, or if the opposite is present. For forum/distro support, they just have to ask for: inxi -ba and they will see t the relevant graphics info, for instance, or -SGaxxx, or -Faxxx, whatever is used to trigger in this case the graphics and system lines. 5. Updated man/help for 4 as well, now explains what they will see with --admin/ -a options and -S. Good user suggestion, I wish all new features were this easy, heh. |

New version, new man. Weather explanations, disks, bugs!!
Bugs: 1. For sensors, in some cases, gpu failed to show correctly. This should be corrected. Fixes: 1. Made help/man explanations of weather changes more clear. Particularly in regards to no automated query info. But also for supported location syntaxes. 2. Some corner cases of null weather data return null and tripped a null data error. This is corrected. 3. Added city duplicate filter to weather output, this hopefully will in some cases avoid printing city name twice, depends on weather source. 4. Removed --weather-source option 0, that no longer works so all code was removed. 5. More deb822 fixes, loosened up even more syntax. That's a poorly designed config syntax, hard to work with. Enhancements: 1. Lots of new disk vendors. So many!! Thanks linux-lite hardware database! switched to a new method of getting disk name/vendor data, now it's a lot easier to check for new ones. 2. Added fancybar to desktop info. |

New version, new man. A few more modifications to weather.
Fixes: 1. In case with zero wind speed, it now shows zero, not N/A, as expected. Enhancements: 1. Depending on weather source used: * Shows precipitation, not rain/snow. * Adds Sunrise/sunset (most sources do not have this) |

New version, new man page. Big update! Get it in before your freeze!!
Bugs: 1. Maybe the vendor/product regex, which when + was used, would put out errors. 2. Maybe Fix 4, since that could lead to incorrect behavior when sudo is involved depending on sudo configuration. 3. BIG: current inxi weather will probably fail if not updated to this or newer versions!! Not an inxi bug per se, but your users will see it as one. Fixes: 1. Fixed Patriot disk ID. 2. Fixes for PPC board handling. 3. Regex cleaner fixes, this could lead to error in special cases of product vendor names. 4. crazy from frugalware pointed out that $b_root detection was flawed, and relied on a bad assumption, particularly for sudo. As usual, he's right, that is now corrected, and uses $< Perl native to determine UID. Enhancements: 1. Added septor to Debian system base. 2. Removed quiet filters for downloaders when using --dbg 1, now you see the entire download action for curl/wget downloads. This went along with issue # 174 3. New feature: --wan-ip-url. This closed issue #174. Also has user config option: WAN_IP_URL as well to make changes permanent. 4. Added --dbg 1 to man and help. The other --dbg options are random and can change, but --dbg 1 is always for downloading, so might as well tell people about it. 5. To anticipate the loss of a major weather API, inxi is redone to use smxi.org based robust API. This also allows for a new switch, --weather-source (or --ws for shorter version), options 0-9, which will trigger different APIs on smxi.org. Added WEATHER_SOURCE configuration option as well. Note that 4-9 are not currently active. Also added in better error handling for weather. The main benefit here is that inxi is now largely agnostic to the weather APIs used, and those can be changed with no impact to inxi users who are running frozen pool inxi's, or who have not updated their inxi versions. NOTE: all inxi versions older than 3.0.31 will probably fail for weather quite soon. So update your inxi version in your repos!! 6. More disk vendors IDs and matches. Thanks linuxlite hardware database. 7. Going along with weather changes, added, if present, cloud cover, rain, and snow reports. Those are for previously observed hour. 8. Small change to Intel CPU architecture, taking a guess on stepping for skylake/Cascade lake ID. Guessing if stepping is > 4, it's cascade lake. But could not find this documented, so it's a guess. At worst, it means that Cascade lake, which must be a later steppingi than 4, will not be ID'ed as skylake. 9. Documentation updates for data sources. Changes: 1. inxi now uses a new system to get weather data. There is no longer a risk of weather failing if the API used locally in inxi fails or goes away. This change should be largely invisible to casual users. 2. In weather, moved dewpoint to be after humidity, which makes a little more sense. |

New version, new man page.
Bugs: 1. Both a fix and a bug, in that inxi had an out of date list of Xorg drivers. This led to all the newer Intel devices failing to show their drivers in the Xorg driver lines, like i915, i965, and so on. Updated to full current list of Xorg drivers. This is not technically a bug since it's simply things that came into existence after that logic was last updated. But it looks like a bug. Fixes: 1. Issues #170 and #168 showed a problem with inxi believing it was running in IRC when Ansible or MOTD started inxi. This is because they are not tty so trip the non tty flag, which assumes it's in IRC in that case. The fix was to add a whitelist of known clients based on the parent name inxi discovers while running inside that parent. MOTD confirmed fixed, Ansible not confirmed. Why do people file issue reports then not follow them? Who knows. Note that this issue is easy to trip by simply doing this: echo 'fred' | inxi which disables the tty test as well. To handle that scenario, that is, when inxi is not first in the pipe, I added many known terminal client names to the whitelists. This works in my tests, though the possible terminals, or programs with embedded terminals, is quite large, but inxi handles most of them automatically. When it doesn't, file an issue and I'll add your client ID to the whitelist, and use --tty in the meantime. 2. Issue #171 by Vascom finally pinned down the wide character issue which manifests in some character sets, like greek or russian utf8. The fix was more of a work-around than a true fix, but inxi now simply checks the weather local time output for wide characters, and if detected, switches the local date/time format to iso standard, which is does not contain non ascii characters as far as I can tell. This seemed to fix the issue. 3. Added iso9660 from excluded file systems for partitions, not sure how inxi missed that one for so long. 4. See bug 1, expanded and made current supported intel drivers, and a few other drivers, so now inxi has all the supported xorg drivers again. Updated docs as well to indicate where to get that data. Enhancements: 1. As usual, more disk vendor/product ID matches, thanks to linuxlite hardware database, which never stops providing new or previously unseen disk ids. Latest favorite? Swissarmy knife maker victorinox Swissflash usb device. 2. Added Elive system base ID. 3. Added Nutyx CARDS repo type. |

New version, fixes, updates, missing specs.
Bugs: 1. See fix 4, incorrect positioning of Trinity desktop detection logic. Fixes: 1. Vascom reports in issue #169 that some systems are making the /sys cpu vulnerability data root read only. Added <root required> test and output. 2. A while back, they added several chassis types in the smbios specifications. I used an older specification pdf file, this is now corrected. Note that realworld use of the new types exists, like tablet, mini pc, and so on. This missing data caused Machine report to list N/A as machine type when it was actually known. I'd been using an older specification PDF, and had failed to look at the actual spec download page, where you could clearly see the newer spec file. Corrected this in the inxi docs as well. 3. Made gentoo repo reader check for case insensitive values for enabled. Also extended that to other repo readers that use similar syntax, they are all now case insensitive (Yes/yes/YES, that is) 4. Fixed incorrect handling of Trinity desktop ID, that needed to happen in the kde ID block, as first test, not after it. Caused failure in Q4OS trinity, and maybe others. I'm not sure why inxi had the detection where it was, it made no real sense, so that's now nicely integrated, so these types of failures should not happen again. Thanks Q4OS for exposing that issue. Enhancements: 1. Added TDM and CDM display managers. Never seen either (Q4OS uses TDM), TDM corrected. CDM not confirmed, don't know if it's still around, but if it is similar to TDM re cdm.pid in /run, it should be detected fine. 2. Added more disk vendors/ids, the list never stops!! Thanks LinuxLite Hardware database, your users seem to use every disk known to humanity. 3. Added Debian derived Q4OS distro ID and system base handler. |

New version, new man. Fixes, enhancements.
Bugs: 1. ARM fix, odroid > 1 cpu speeds not showing correctly. 2. Ansible start fixes. 3. Fringe Battery failures, see Pinebook. Fixes: 1. Removed null data message 'old system' since that's not always the case. 2. Added support for > 1 CPU speeds in systems with > 1 CPU. 3. Added is_numeric test for sudo version tests, that was tripping errors in rare cases. 4. Fine tuned terminal size setting to check that is int to correct the Ansible problem. 5. ARM Pinebook fixes, battery, cpu. This also fixes corner cases where the battery charge state is missing but it is a systme battery. Enhancments: 1. Added more disk ID matches/vendors. Thanks LinuxLite Hardware database!! 2. UKUI, ukwm, ukui-panel added to desktop data. 3. Added PopOS to system base. 4. Ansible/Chef user noted that inxi believes that it is running in IRC when started by Ansible / Chef (not sure about Chef but assuming it's the same). Added flag --tty flag to force inxi to believe it's running in shell no matter what starts it. Note that this fix is not confirmed because the person didn't confirm the fix. Annoying. 5. Added Ubuntu disco to ubuntu_id. |

New version, new man. Fixes, stitches, and returns!!
Bugs: 1. As a fix (3), failure to handle spaces in mount source names. More of a fix than a bug, since it was an old issue #63. 2. OSX errors, BSD errors, but not really inxi errors or bugs, more weird data tripping null data or unreadable file errors, but I'll call those bugs since they look like bugs to end users. See Fixes for more. 3. See Fix 4, this is sort of a bug, inxi failed to return expected values on success/failure. Fixes: 1. One of the documented config items, COLS_MAX_NO_DISPLAY had not been implemented internally. This is now corrected. 2. Apple OSX was returning errors, those were fixed. 3. Finally handled ancient issue #63, support now there for spaces in remote source name. This means that both spaces in source block name, and mount point name, are in theory both handled now. This was also to fix an osx issue #164 despite the fact that technically I do not support osx beyond fixing errors, but since in this case the issue was a long standing one, I fixed it for everything. 4. Big fix, I'd completely left undone proper unix type error number returns in inxi, oops. Thanks Unit193 for noticing that and prompting me to fix it. Now inxi returns integer success/error numbers as expected. 5. OSX xml based version info broke, of course, naturally it would, so I added in an osx fallback where if no distro version detected, use fallback unix method, which is what all the other unices use. 6. Along with space in source name, fixed mapped handling a bit more too for partitions. 6. Added cifs remote file system to disk size used blacklist, and iso9660. Not sure how I'd missed those for so long. 7. OpenBSD vmstat in 6.3 changed the column order for avm/fre, and changed to a, sigh, human readable default format, in M, so to handle this for all bsds, I had to make a dynamic column detection for avm and fre, and use those after, and also i had to add in a M detection, if found, *1024 and strip out M, sigh. 8. OpenBSD, another alternate ordering/syntax issue, the dmesg.boot data for disks does not always use the same order in comma separated list, saw user case where the first item after : was the MB size, not the second. Made detection dynamic. 9. Due to Android case, found types where no cpu speed data was found, no max speed at least, which tripped an error due to null data for ARM, this is now handled, now cpu speed min/max read permissions in /sys are checked first before trying to read, and default failures are better handled. 10. On man page, added in clarification of the moving of Memory: item from Info: line to ram Memory: line, explaining when it appears where. I do not removing the item from -I, I may revert that change, I find it non-intuitive to move that around. Enhancements: 1. Added display manager Ly, plus Ly version number. Thanks NamedKitten, this closes issues #166 #165 #162 2. Improved documentation a bit to avoid ambiguity re how to get colors in output. That handles issue #161, thanks fugo for the nudge to improve the documentation. 3. First inxi on Android tests, using termux, which has a debian based apt type installer, got inxi running on at least two devices, including pixel2, but discovered that apparently as of android 5, /sys is now locked up in terms of wildcard reads, but further analysis is required, but as of now, inxi works in termux, but fails to get any Device data for A, G, or N. Thus it also fails to match IF to Device, so none of the IP data shows up. The latter will probably be fixed since Android has ip and ifconfig already, or termux does, but so far I found no way to get device data for ARM in Android 5.x and greater (checked on android 7 and 9 in real phones). 4. More disk vendors!! thanks linuxlite / linux hardware database for offering an apparently never ending list of obscure and not so obscure disk vendors and products. 5. While I was unable to get confirmation or documentation on file names for tce repo files, I guessed that localmirrors would be used, but this may be any random text file in /opt at all, no extensions, I'd have to test to confirm or deny possible values. 6. To handle more complex debugger failures, added --debug-no-proc, --debug-no-exit, to skip or enable completion where proc or sys debugger is hanging. Changes: 1. Changed vendor in A, G, and N to -x, not -xxx, this data seems much more useful and reliable than I'd first expected when I made the feature, the -xxx was more an indication of my lack of trust in the method and source, but so far it seems pretty good, so I bumped it up to an -x option. Note that also, it's quite useful to know the vendor of, say, your network or graphics card, not just the actual device internal data, which is all inxi has ever shown previously. 2. Small change, if no partition type data is found, dev, remote, mapped, default now says 'source:' instead of 'dev:' which makes more sense. Note that df calls that column 'source', so I decided to go with their language for the default not found case. Also changed mapped to say mapped. This was part of a bit of a refactor of the partition type logic, enhanced by adding mapped to existing types, and moved the entire type detection block into the main data generator, and out of the data line constructor. Optimizations: 1. Tested, and dumped, List::Util first() as a possible way to speed up grep searches of arrays, where the goal is just to see if something is in an array. My expectation was that first(), returning the first found instance of the search term, would of course be faster since it will always exit the search loop was met with the sad fact that first() is about 2 to 4 times SLOWER than grep() native builtin. I tested this fairly carefully, and used NYTProf optimizer tool and the results were totally consistent, first() was always much slower than grep(), no matter what size the array is. I assume this means the core C programming that makes grep is simply much better than the File::Util module programming that makes first(). Removed first() and now know that nothing will be faster than grep so no need to look there for speed improvements. The moral of the story: just because something should in theory be faster, does sadly not mean it will be faster, for there are bigger things at work, skill of the programmers who made the logic, how perl handles external vs internal tools, and so on. As an aside, this forms a fairly consistent pattern where I've found Perl by itself to be faster than modules in many cases, that is, it's faster to write the code out than to use a module in many cases that I have tested, so I will always test such ideas and dump every one that is in fact slower than native Perl builtins. |

New version, new man.
Bugs: 1. If you consider failure to identify a mounted yet hidden partition a bug, then that bug is fixed, but I consider that as more of a fix than a bug. Fixes: 1. Added more device pattern ID for odroid C1 and C2, these are now pretty well supported. 2. inxi failed to handle a certain type of hidden partition, so far only seen with udiskctl mounted TimeShift partitions, but this may be a more general udisk issue, but so far not enough information. The fix is to use the lsblk data to build up missing partitions, so this fix is for non legacy Linux systems only. The fix works pretty well, but it's hard to know until we get a lot more real world data, but given so far I've received only one issue report on it, I suspect this is not a common situation, but you never know, it would never have shown up in datasets unless I had looked specifically for it, so it may be more common than I think. 3. Cleaned up and simplified new --admin -p and -d logic. Enhancements: 1. For debugging, renamed all user debugger switches to have prefix --debug. These options are to help debug debugger failures, and so far have been tested and solved the failures, so I'm adding them all to the main man and help menu, thus raising them to the level of supported tools. These were enormously helpful in solving proc or sys debugger hangs. * --debug-proc * --debug-proc-print * --debug-no-sys * --debug-sys * --debug-sys-print 2. Added findmnt output to debugger, that may be useful in the future. Also added df -kTPa to also catch hidden partitions in debugger. 3. Added in another user level debugger, triggered with --debug-test-1 flag. This will do whatever operation is needed at the time for that user. Some issues can only be resolved by the user on their machine. 4. More disk vendors and matches!!! Thanks linuxlite/linux hardware database! |

New version, new man. Huge set of changes. Excitement!! Thrills! Spills?
Bugs: 1. There was a missing main::is_int test that in some instances triggered error. This is corrected. 2. More of a fix, but legacy devices were not matching NIC to IF because the /sys path was not a link as it is now. I made a separate function to handle that match test so it could be more readily be worked with. Fixes: 1. Arch/Manjaro presented yet another Xorg.wrapper path, this time /usr/lib. Why? who knows. That to me is a bug, but since if it's not handled in inxi, it makes it look like inxi has a server: -G bug, I worked around it. Again. This creates the bug when you do not use the actual true path of Xorg where Xorg.wrapper complains and will not show -version data. Why move this? why use that wrapper thing? I don't know, makes no sense to me. 2. More MIPS data, thanks manjaro ARM people. This made MIPS much better, though it will certainly need more work. 3. Better ARM support, added in devicetree strings, which helps pad out the Devices IDs, albeit with very little data, but at least the devices are detected. Thanks Manjaro ARM people there again. 4. Removed Upstart init test for arm/mips/sparc devices. This test made MIPS device totally puke and die, killed networking, so since very few upstart running systems will be arm/mips devices, I decided there better safe than sorry. 5. Found another uptime syntax case, MIPS as root does not have the users item. 6. Many tweaks to SOC data generators, will catch more categories, but the lists will never be done since each device can be, and often is, random re the syntax. 7. USB networking failed to test usb type for 'network', which led to failed ids on some device strings. SOC types are now filtered through a function to create consistent device type strings for the per device tool to use to assign each to its proper @device_<type> array. 8. For pciconf/FreeBSD, cleaned up device class strings to get rid of 0x and trailing subsubclass values, this converts it into the same hex 4 item string that is used by GNU/Linux/lspci so I can apply consistent rules to all pci types, no matter what the generator source is, lspci, pcidump, pciconf, and eventually pcictl if I can get netbsd running. 9. Fixed internal --dbg counts for various features, and updated docs for that. 10. Fixed ARM / MIPS missing data messages, they were redundant. 11. Ongoing, moving excessive source comments to inxi-values.txt and inxi-data.txt. 12. Added unity-system-compositor as mir detection, who knew? I guess that was its production application name all along? Oh well. Enhancements: 1. Added basic support for OpenIndiana/Solaris/SunOS as a bsd type. Just enough to make errors not happen.-repos 2. future proofed unix/bsd detections just to avoid the unset $bsd_type of non BSD unix. 3. Added S6 init system to init tool. 4. Added OpenBSD pcidump to new DeviceData feature. Includes now <root required> message on Device-x: lines if not root. All working. 5. Fully refactored the old pci stuff to DeviceData package/class, due to adding so many types to that, it made sense to make it a single class. 6. Did the same to USBData, because of lsusb, usbdevs, and /sys usb, made sense to integrate the data grabber into one package/class 7. Added speed: item to USB:, it shows in Mb/s or Gb/s 8. Added Odroid C1/C2 handling, which is one big reason I opted to refactor the devices data logic into DeviceData. 9. Added ash shell, not sure if that detection will work, but if it does, it will show. 10. As part of the overall DeviceData refactor, I moved all per type data into dedicated arrays, like @device_graphics, @device_audio, @device_network, etc, which lets me totally dump all the per device item tests, and just check the arrays, which have already been tested for on the construction of the primary DeviceData set. Moved all per type detections into DeviceData so that is now one complete logic block, and the per type data generators don't need to know about any of that logic at all anymore. 11. Added sway, swaybar, way-cooler as window managers, info items. Not 100% positive about the --version, their docs weren't very consistent, but I think the guess should be right if their docs weren't incorrect. 12. Added vendor: item to network, not sure why I kept that off when I added vendor: to audio and graphics. It made sense at the time, but not now, so now -GNA all have vendor: if detected. 13. More device vendors!! The list never ends. Thanks linuxlite/linux hardware database, somehow you have users that manage to use every obscure usb/ssd/hdd known to humanity. 14. Big update to --admin, now has the following: A: partitions: shows 'raw size: ' of partition, this lets users see the amount of file system overhead, along with the available size as usual. B: partitions: show percent of raw in size: C: partitions: show if root, block size of partition file system. Uses blockdev --getbsz <part> D: partition: swap: show swappiness and vfs cache pressure, with (default) or (default <default value) added. This apparently can help debugging some kernel issues etc. Whatever, I'll take someone's word for that. E: Disks: show block size: logical: physical: 15. New option and configuration item: --partition-sort / PARTITION_SORT This lets users change default mount point sort order to any available ordering in the partition item. Man page and help menu show options. 16. Going along with the MIPS fixes, added basic support for OpenWRT, which uses an immensely stripped down busybox (no ps aux, for example), maybe because it only runs as root user/ not sure, anyway, took many fixes. Changes: 1. Changed usb: 1.1 to rev: 1.1 because for linux, we have the USB revision number, like 3.1. Note that this is going to be wrong for BSDs, but that's fine. 2. Changed slightly the output of Memory item, now it follows the following rules: A: if -m/--memory is triggered (> -v4, or -m) Memory line always shows in Memory: item, which makes sense. Note that -m overrides all other options of where Memory minireport could be located. B: if -tm is triggered, and -I is not triggered, Memory shows in in -tm C: if -I is triggered, and -m is not triggered, Memory: shows in -I line. D: no change in short form inxi no arg output, Memory is there. |

New version, new man page. Bug fix, enhancements, fixes.
Bugs: 1. Big bug found on certain systems, they use non system memory memory arrays, inxi failed to anticipate that situation, and would exit with error when run as root for -m when it hit those array types. These arrays did not have modules listed, so the module array was undefined, which caused the failure. Thanks Manjaro anonymous debugger dataset 'loki' for finding this failure. This is literally the first dataset I've seen that had this issue, but who knows how many other system boards will show something like that as well. Fixes: 1. Related to bug 1, do not show the max module size item if not system memory and size is less than 10 MiB. Assuming there that it's one of these odd boards. Enhancements: 1. For bug 1, extended Memory: report to include array type if not system memory. That instance had Video Memory, Flash Memory, and Cache Memory arrays along with the regular System Memory array. Now shows: use: Video Memory for example if not System Memory to make it clear what is going on. 2. Added basic Parrot system base, but for some inexplicable reason, Parrot changed the /etc/debian_version file to show 'stable' instead of the release number. Why? Who knows, it would be so much easier if people making these derived distros would be consistent and not change things for no good reason. 3. Added a few more pattern matches to existing vendors for disks. As usual, thanks linuxlite/linux hardware database for the endless lists of disk data. 4. Added internal dmidecode debugger switches, that makes it much easier to inject test dmidecode data from text files using debugger switches internally. 5. Added -Cxx item, which will run if root and -C are used, now grabs L1 and L3 cache data from dmidecode and shows it. I didn't realize that data was there, not sure how I'd missed it all these years, I guess pinxi really is much easier to work on! This only runs if user has dmidecode permissions from root or sudo. |

New version, man page. Fixes, enhancements, changes.
Thanks: 1. AntiX forums, for testing -C --admin, suggestions, always helpful. Bugs: 1. Added switch to set @ps_gui, I forgot case where info block was only thing that used ps_gui (Nitrux kde nomad latte case). This led to no info: data if other ps_gui switches not activated. Now each block that can use it activates it. Fixes: 1. To clarify issue #161 added help/man explanation on how to get colors in cases where you want to preserve colors for piped or redirected output. Thanks fugo. 2. LMDE 3.0 released, slightly different system base handling, so refactored to add Debian version, see enhancement 2. Tested on some old vm instances, improved old system Debian system base id, but it's empirical, distro by distro, there is no rule I can use to automatically do it, sadly. 3. 'Motherboard' sensors field name added, a few small tweaks to sensors. This was in response to issue #159, which also raised a problem I was not really aware of, user generated sensor config files, that can have totally random field names. Longer term solution, start getting data from sys to pad out lm-sensors data, or to handle cases where no lm-sensors installed. 4. Fixed kwin_11 and kwin_wayland compositor print names, I'd left out the _, which made it look strange, like there were two compositors or something. 5. Fixed latte-dock ID, I thought the program name when running was latte, not latte-dock. inxi checks for both now. Thanks Nitrux for exposing that in vm test. 6. Sensors: added in a small filter to motherboard temp, avoid values that are too high, like SYSTIN: 118 C, filters out to only use < 90 C. Very unlikely a mobo would be more than 90C unless it's a mistake or about to melt. This may correct anoymous debugger dataset report from rakasunka. Enhancements: 1. Added --admin to -v 8 and to --debugger 2x 2. Expanded system base to use Debian version tool, like the ubuntu one, that lets me match version number to codename. The ubuntu one matches code names to release dates. Added Neptune, PureOS, Sparky, Tails, to new Debian system base handler. 3. Big enhancement: --admin -C now shows a nice report on cpu vulnerabilities, and has a good error message if no data found. Report shows: Vulnerabilities: Type: [e.g. meltdown] status/mitigation: text explanation. Note: 'status' is for when no mitigation, either not applicable, or is vulnerable. 'mitigation' is when it's handled, and how. Thanks issue #160 Vascom from Fedora for that request. 4. The never-ending saga of disk vendor IDs continues. More obscure vendors, more matches to existing vendors. Thanks linuxlite/linux hardware database Changes: 1. Reordered usb output, I don't know why I had Hubs and Devices use different ordering and different -x switch priorities, that was silly, and made it hard to read. Now shows: Device/Hub: bus-id-port-id[.port-id]:device-id info: [product info] type/ports: [devices/hubs] usb: [type, speed] -x adds drivers for devices, and usb: speed is now default for devices, same as Hubs. Why I had those different is beyond me. The USB ordering is now more sensible, the various components of each matching whether hub or device. Unfixable or Won't Fix: 1. Unable to detect Nomad desktop. As far as I can tell, Nomad is only a theme applied to KDE Plasma, there is no program by that name detectable, only a reference in ps aux to a theme called nomad. 2. Nitrux system base ID will not work until they correct their /etc/os-release file. 3. Tails live cd for some inexplicable reason uses non standard /etc/os-release field names, which forces me to either do a custom detection just for them, or for them to fix this bug. I opted for ignoring it, if I let each distro break standard formats then try to work around it, the distro ID will grow to be a 1000 lines long easily. Will file distro bug reports when I find these from now on. Samples: This shows the corrected, cleaned up, consistent usb output: inxi -y80 --usb USB: Hub: 1-0:1 info: Full speed (or root) Hub ports: 14 usb: 2.0 Hub: 1-3:2 info: Atmel 4-Port Hub ports: 4 usb: 1.1 Device-1: 1-3.2:4 info: C-Media Audio Adapter (Planet UP-100 Genius G-Talk) type: Audio,HID usb: 1.1 Device-2: 1-4:3 info: Wacom Graphire 2 4x5 type: Mouse usb: 1.1 Device-3: 1-10:5 info: Tangtop HID Keyboard type: Keyboard,Mouse usb: 1.1 Device-4: 1-13:7 info: Canon CanoScan LiDE 110 type: <vendor specific> usb: 2.0 Device-5: 1-14:8 info: Apple Ethernet Adapter [A1277] type: Network usb: 2.0 Hub: 2-0:1 info: Full speed (or root) Hub ports: 8 usb: 3.1 Hub: 3-0:1 info: Full speed (or root) Hub ports: 2 usb: 2.0 Hub: 4-0:1 info: Full speed (or root) Hub ports: 2 usb: 3.1 Hub: 5-0:1 info: Full speed (or root) Hub ports: 4 usb: 2.0 Hub: 6-0:1 info: Full speed (or root) Hub ports: 4 usb: 3.0 inxi -y80 --usb -xxxz USB: Hub: 1-0:1 info: Full speed (or root) Hub ports: 14 usb: 2.0 chip ID: 1d6b:0002 Hub: 1-3:2 info: Atmel 4-Port Hub ports: 4 usb: 1.1 chip ID: 03eb:0902 Device-1: 1-3.2:4 info: C-Media Audio Adapter (Planet UP-100 Genius G-Talk) type: Audio,HID driver: cm109,snd-usb-audio interfaces: 4 usb: 1.1 chip ID: 0d8c:000e Device-2: 1-4:3 info: Wacom Graphire 2 4x5 type: Mouse driver: usbhid,wacom interfaces: 1 usb: 1.1 chip ID: 056a:0011 Device-3: 1-10:5 info: Tangtop HID Keyboard type: Keyboard,Mouse driver: hid-generic,usbhid interfaces: 2 usb: 1.1 chip ID: 0d3d:0001 Device-4: 1-13:7 info: Canon CanoScan LiDE 110 type: <vendor specific> driver: N/A interfaces: 1 usb: 2.0 chip ID: 04a9:1909 Device-5: 1-14:8 info: Apple Ethernet Adapter [A1277] type: Network driver: asix interfaces: 1 usb: 2.0 chip ID: 05ac:1402 serial: <filter> Hub: 2-0:1 info: Full speed (or root) Hub ports: 8 usb: 3.1 chip ID: 1d6b:0003 Hub: 3-0:1 info: Full speed (or root) Hub ports: 2 usb: 2.0 chip ID: 1d6b:0002 Hub: 4-0:1 info: Full speed (or root) Hub ports: 2 usb: 3.1 chip ID: 1d6b:0003 Hub: 5-0:1 info: Full speed (or root) Hub ports: 4 usb: 2.0 chip ID: 1d6b:0002 Hub: 6-0:1 info: Full speed (or root) Hub ports: 4 usb: 3.0 chip ID: 1d6b:0003 |

New version, man page. Bug fixes, enhancements.
Bugs: 1. A long standing bug was finally identified and fixed. -n/-i would fail to match a Device to the right IF in cases where they had the same chip / vendor IDs. Added busID for non Soc type devices to fix that. I hope. This fix has been tested on a machine that had this bug, and it is now corrected. Thanks skynet for the dataset. 2. deepin-wm was failing to get listed correctly with new fixes, this is corrected. Fixes: 1. mate version was depending on two tools, mate-about and mate-session, which somewhat randomly vary in which has the actual highest version number. Fix was to run both in MATE for version, and run those through a new version compare tool. Thanks mint/gm10 for reporting that bug. 2. -Gxx compositors: added some missing ones that were being checked for in- correctly. 3. For distro id, fixed a glitch in the parser for files, now correctly removes empty () with or without spaces in it. 4. Got rid of ' SOC?' part of no data for ram or slots, that also triggers in non SOC cases, so best to not guess if I can't get it right. Enhancements: 1. More disk vendor ID matches, also, somehow missed QEMU as vendor, thanks to linux hardware database (linuxlite) for great samples of vendor/product strings. 2. Added a bunch of compositors, found a new source that listed a lot inxi did not have already. 3. Added version v: for some compositors in -Gxxx. 4. New program_data() tool provides an easier to use simple program version/print name generator, including extra level tests, to get rid of some code that repeats. 5. Found some useful QEMU virtual machines for ARM, MIPS, PPC, and SPARC, so made initial debugging for each type, so basic working error free support is well on its way for all 4 architectures, which was unexpected. More fine tunings to all of them to avoid bugs, and to catch more devices, as well. Note that QEMU images are hard to make, and they were not complete in terms of what you would see on physical hardware, so I don't know what features will work or not work, there may be further variants in audio/network/graphics IDs that remain unhandled, new datasets always welcome for such platforms! 6. Found yet another desktop! Added Manokwari support, which is at this point a reworking of gnome, but it was identifiable, minus a version number. 7. Added deepin and blankon to system base supported list, these hide their debian roots, so I had to use the manual method to provide system base. |

New version, man page. Big set of changes. Full USB refactor, plus added features.
Bugs: 1. A result of the issue #156 USB refactor, I discovered that the --usb sort order, which was based on Bus+DeviceID, in fact is wrong, pure and simple. This was exposed by using a second USB hub on a bus, the Device IDs are not really related in any clearly logical way to the actual position on the bus. The solution was to fully refactor the entire USB logic and then use generated alpha sorters based on the full bus-port[.port] ID. Device ID is now printed last in the ID string, like so: 1-4:1. Note that Device IDs start at 1 for each bus, regardless of how many hubs you have attached to that port. 2. Certain situations triggered a bug in Optical devices, I'd forgotten to change $_ to $key in two places. Since that part didn't normally get triggered, I'd never noticed that bug before. Thanks TinyCore for exposing that glitch! Fixes: 1. On legacy systems, fluxbox --version does not work, -v does. Corrected. 2. for --usb, network devices should now show the correct 'type: Network'. For some weird reason, the people who made the usb types didn't seem to consider many key devices, scanners, wifi/ethernet adapters, and those are almost always "Vendor defined class". 3. A really big fix, for instances where system is using only Busybox, like TinyCore, or booting into any system running busybox for whatever reason, now avoids the various errors when using busybox ps, which only for example outputs 3, not 11, default columns for ps aux, and which does not support ps -j, which is used in the start/shell client information. This gets rid of a huge spray of errors, and actually allows for pretty complete output from systems that only have busybox tools installed. This should cover everything from TinyCore to MIPS to ARM systems that run minimalist Linux. Note that this fix goes along with the /sys based USB parser, since such systems may have USB, but are unlikely to have lsusb installed, but do have /sys USB data. 4. In some cases, strings /sbin/init would trigger a false version result, fixed that logic so now it rarely will do that. Enhancements: 1. Added Mosksha desktop, that's a Bodhi fork of Enlightenment E17; added qtile window manager (no version info). 2. Added Bodhi detection; Salix + base slackware; kde neon system base; 3. Added support for slaptget repos, basic, it may not be perfecct. 4. More disk vendors, and matches for existing vendors. 5. Full rewrite of USB data, in --usb, -A, and -N, along with core usb data engines. This makes lsusb optional, though recommended (because it has a better vendor/ product ID to string internal database) than /sys data. This was in response to a second set of issues in #156 by gm10, USB drivers. Depending on the system, using only /sys data, while slightly less informative, is between 20 and 2000 milliseconds faster, so if you want speed, either use the new --usb-sys option, or the configuration file USB_SYS=[true|false] option. 1. switched to cleaner more efficient data structures 2. added ports count to hub report, linux and bsd. 3. added [--usb|-A|-N] -xxx serial for Device items, if present. 4. added --usb -xx drivers, per interface, can be 1 or more drivers. 5. fully refactored -A and -N usb device logic, far cleaner and simple now, much easier to work with, no more hacks to find things and match them. 6. USB type: now comes from /sys, and is in general going to be more accurate than the lsusb -v based method, which was always an ugly and incomplete hack. As with drivers, it also now lists all the interface types found per device, not just the first one as with the previous method. Note that HID means the more verbose: Human Interface Device, but I shortened it. Now that the type: data is created by inxi reading the class/subclass/protocal IDs, and then figuring out what to do itself, I can have quite a bit more flexibility in terms of how type is generated. 7. added --usb -xxx interfaces: [count] for devices, which lists the device interface count. This can be useful to determine if say, a usb/keyboard adapter is a 2 interface device. Note that Audio devices generally have many interfaces, since they do more than 1 thing (audio output, microphone input, etc.). 8. Support for user configuration file item: USB_SYS=[true|false]. This is useful if you want to see only the /sys version of the data, or if you want the significant speed boost not using lsusb offers, particularly on older systems with a complex USB setup, many buses, many devices, etc. New option --usb-tool overrides USB_SYS value, and forces lsusb use. 9. New options: --usb-sys - forces all usb items to use /sys data, and skip lsusb. Note that you still have to use the feature options, like --usb, -A, or -N. This can lead to a significant improvement in execution time for inxi. 10. Rather than the previous bus:device ID string, to go along with the internal sorting strings used, inxi now shows the real Bus / port /port ids, like: 1-3.2.1:3 - Bus-Port[.port]:device id. 6. Added support for Xvesa display server. Thanks for exposing that one, TinyCore! 7. Added tce package manager to repos. That's the tinycore package manager. Changes: 1. big one, after 10 plus years, the venerable 'Card-x:' for -A,-N, and -G has been replaced by the more neutral 'Device-x:'. This was a suggestion by gm10 from Mint in issue #156 This makes sense because for a long time, most of these devices are not cards, they are SOC, motherboard builtin, USB devices, etc, so the one thing they all are are some form of a device, and the one thing that they are all not is a Card. Along with the recent change from HDD: to Local Storage in Disks: this brings inxi terminology out of the ancient times and into the present. Thanks for the nudge gm10. Removed: See inxi-perl/docs/inxi-fragments.txt for removed blocks. 1. Entire parser for lsusb -v, now it all runs either usbdevs or lsusb, and if Linux and not lsusb, it will use /sys exclusively, otherwise it uses /sys data to complete the lsusb vendor/product strings. 2. Two functions that were used by -A and -N to match usb devices and get their /sys data, that became redundant since it all now goes through the /sys parser already, so those features can get the data pre-parsed from the @usb arrays.

New version, new man. ARM enhancements and updates, -S data ongoing enhancements.
Fixes: 1. Added support for new ARM SOC types, including chromebook ARM. Note that so far I have been unable to find a way to detect MMC networking, at least in a meaningful way. I know where the data is, but I can't figure out how to reasonably integrate it into the main ARM soc/device generator logic because it's fundamentally different from most platform or devicetree data. 2. Added alternate battery tests, this should cover a wide range of alternate battery IDs, while still preserving the distinction between system power batteries, and device batteries. The detection is now far more dynamic, and can handle unknown syntax for battery ID, while not losing the ability to correctly identify device batteries (like mice, keyboards, etc). 3. Trying a somewhat unreliable hack to get cpu variant for arm devices where the current method fails. this may be removed if it causes false ID in the future. 4. Excluded all /driver/ paths from ARM SOC @pci generation, those give read errors even as root. 5. Fixed a few defective wm version detections. Enhancements: The -S line continues to see many improvements. 1. Greatly expanded the set of info: items, now it covers all the toolbars, panels, and docks that I could find, plus a few things like icewmtray, where the wm has a built in panel. While there are probably more bar/panel/dock tools out there, and more will get added if or when they are encountered, now info: shows far more variants than ever before, and covers the range of options simpler wm users have for bars, trays, and panels. If I missed one that is detectable, by all means show how to detect it! 2. Fine tuned and added a few more window managers, and added version for some that were not showing versions. 3. Added 3 more dm version handlers, slim, gdm, gdm3, and refactored that code to use the same program_values/program_version logic that the other tools use. 4. A few more obscure and usb stick vendor IDs added. |

New version, new man. Fixes, glitches, and stitches!
Fixed some subtle and not subtle issues that I've noticed recently. Bugs: 1. The color scheme selector failed to remove the global value when a non global setting was used. This led to global values never getting removed, even though the text output said it would be, which is confusing, obviously, and always overriding the color selected. Thanks CentOS for helping find that one. Fixes: 1. Fixed possible corrupted user inxi.conf values. Now skips null values, and fully validates as integer integer values. 2. Fixed fvwm-crystal detections, integrated it into new refactored desktop logic. 3. For systems without glxinfo or running inxi out of gui/desktop, Xorg was in many cases failing to show version, which made it not show anything for server: except N/A. This is caused by a relatively recent change in behaviors in xorg, where you have to run it directly from it's true path, which is something like /usr/lib/xorg or /usr/lib/server-xorg at which point the error: /usr/lib/xorg-server/Xorg.wrap: Only console users are allowed to run the X server Figuring this out was tricky, and who the heck knows why Xorg -version would even return such a silly error in the first place, but there you have it. Next time you wonder why inxi is so long, this is why, endless churn in basic and complex things! The fix is injecting the optional xorg paths into @paths right before, and removing them right after, which avoids adding clutter to the @paths. 4. A ZFS fix, I'd noticed this one a while back, but after looking at the zfs Ubuntu tutorial page, I realized that this is the norm now, which is building zfs with /dev/sda (no partitions). This lead to failing to detect the zfs components, and reporting a bunch of partitions as unmounted which were part of that /dev/sdb type component array. By allowing /dev/sd[a-z] I fixed both errors at the same time, but I don't know if this syntax extends to say, nvme zfs as well. Note that when you build zfs arrays with say, /dev/sdb /dev/sdc you'll see two partitions per disk, /dev/sdx1 which is the main data, and /dev/sdx2, which is a tiny 8mB partition, no idea what it's for. 5. Fixed missing konversation and hexchat version numbers in -I, finally found what was going on there. Note that hexchat --version used to pop up a gui, but I guess he finally fixed that, I am hoping. 6. Fixed some gentoo repo detections, but also found more variants. Not sure what exactly is going on with repos there, will wait for gentoo user issue reports to really lock those down. 7. BSD fixes, turns out FreeBSD uses that same map ... syntax in df -kT as OSX... Also made sure to load sysctl data for -S row, I'd forgotten about the compiler test there which needs that data. 8. Fixed herbstluftwm version detection, turns out it's another one of those that passes the entire path to the version program, so it shows: /sbin/herbsuftwm 0.22.0 which broke the regex, easy fix. 9. Completed refactoring of DesktopData, now it's all data array driven for most wm, desktops, etc, which makes adding/removing one very easy. All core data is now in program_values to allow for automated detections. Enhancements: 1. With fix 1, added check_int and check_number utilities, these validate that inxi internal numeric or integer values actually are what they are supposed to be. This uses a neat Perl trick that makse the checks super fast and super accurate. Moved all internal int/numeric test regex to use these. 2. Added file based version number detection, that was done for Deepin, which uses /etc/deepin-version for its version number, but it can be used for anything. 3. Added Deepin and deepin window managers, Lumina, added bspwm wm, fixed muffin detections. Note that lumina has a weird behavior where when run outside of pinxi, it outputs to stdout, but inside of pinxi, to stderr, who the heck knows how that happens! 4. Added zorin to supported base: distros. 5. Even more disk vendors added! The list of no-name off brand chinese ssd vendors appears to be endless! Added some more specific ids to capture unique strings that can be linked to a vendor. 6. Added /usr/home to default -P paths, that's used instead of /home in the real world, so why not show it? 7. Because qt detection is possible, I've extended qt toolkit detection, but it's also not super accurate, but it's far better than gtk tk was, so I'm leaving that in. I also extended it to more wm/desktops since more are using qt now. Note: budgie 11 is going to be qt, but there's no way to distinguish between 11 and gtk 10 without doing a bunch of hacks so I'm leaving that alone. 8. Found a possible distro id source, added /etc/calamares detections to debugger, I'll see if that shows some consistent patterns before I implement a last fallback test for distro IDs. It may work. Removed: 1. Giving up on fake/slow/inaccurate GTK toolkit detections, removed the entire codeblock and stored in docs/inxi-fragments.txt, but I'm not going to do package manager type version tests anymore, if we can't get the data directly from a program or file, it's not going to happen, plus the gtk installed on the system means nothing in relation to the gtk version used to build the desktop. |

New version, new man. Fixes, a few changes, enhancements.
Fixes: 1. Removed /dev/zram type data from swap partitions, since that's ram, it's not a partition, obviously. 2. More alternate IPMI syntax found, that's clearly going to take a while to have most syntaxes handled. 3. Small lm-sensors adjustment, fringe cases might scramble up hwmon and gpu temps, this is now handled. Enhancements: 1. Added disk vendors, udinfo. 2. Exciting! New Architecture: MIPS! First datasets, confirmed working. This led to more abstracting of the previously ARM specific logic to be for SOC in general. 3. Related to 2, added in fallback busybox cases for partition data without fs. 4. Added window managers, xmonad, ratpoison, 9dm, gala (for Pantheon), notion, windowlab 5. Added Pantheon desktop detection. Note, unable to find a way to get version number. 6. IMPI sensors: added in psu fans, dimm temp. 7. New -Cxxx option: cpu boost (aka turbo), state enabled / disabled, only shows if system has that option. Changes: 1. Made toolkit for -S be -xx instead of -x, only Trinity/KDE and XFCE have that data. |

New version, new man. Changes, bug fixes, enhancements! Don't delay!
Bugs: 1. A real bug, the detection for true path of /dev/root had a mistake in it and would only have worked in half the cases. This was an easy fix, but a significant but since it also would lead to the actual root / partition showing in Unmounted. 2. Related to the item Fixes-2, if two USB networking devices were attached, the second one's bus and chip ID would go on the wrong line of data if -n or -i option were used. Since that would be the line belonging to the one above, that obviously was weird and wrong. 3. NEW: latest kernel can show hwmon data in sensors, for example from wifi chip. This broke CPU temp detection and showed way too high cpu temp, so this fix is fairly important since new kernels may have this new sensors hwmon syntax. 4. Sensors: IPMI alternate syntax found, also case with no data in expected columns, just N/A, so now the ipmi sensor logic skips all lines with non numeric values in the values column. This is what it should have done all along, it was trusting that values would always exist for the field names it looks for. Fixes: 1. ARM networking fix. ARM devices like rasberry pi that use usb bus for networking showed the no data message even though usb networking was right below it. This is corrected, and now that only shows if both main and usb networking failed for ARM. 2. Big repo fix: while testing distro and Trinity live cds, I discovered that apt is sometimes used with rpms, which made PCLinuxOS and ALT-Linux Repos item show the apt files but no data since the pattern was looking for start with deb. Added rpm to pattern, so all distros that use apt running rpms should now 'just work'. 3. Fixed more distro id things, PCLinuxOS should now show its full distro string. 4. Debugger: Filtered out more blocks of /proc, that data is bloated and messy, found another case where it collected a vast amount of junk system data from zfs in that case, just blocked the entire range. I had no idea /proc had so much junk data in it! 5. As noted above, IPMI, yet another alternate syntax for field names. My hope that IPMI software and sensors will be more logical and consistent than lm-sensors output is proving to be merely wishful thinking, I think now out of 3 datasets I've gotten, I've seen 3 variants for syntax, not to mention the ipmi-tool vs ipmi-sensors differences. So IPMI will be like all sensors stuff, a work in progress, to be updated with every newly discovered alternate syntax and data set. Enhancements: 1. Disk vendors, added some, improved pattern detections for others. This feature is getting better all the time. Thanks linuxlite hw db, easy to scan for missing vendors in their inxi data. 2. Added more wm, budgie-wm, mwm, variants of kwin and Trinity's Twin, several others, more refactoring of core wm/desktop code. 3. Added gpu ram and reworked memory logic for rasberry pi, which is the only SBC I am aware of that uses that tool. Now reports the actual total, and also gpu: for ram data, so you can tell that the gpu is using part of the total. Again, this comes from issue #153. Also added that info to man page for -I part. 4. Added more ARM and PCI cleaners for neater and more concise ARM/PCI output. 5. Added Trinity support to Desktop section, this had at least two different detection methods, but since the first just shows KDE original data, only the second one proved to be Trinity specific. Happily, the full data is available, toolkit, desktop version, and wm (Twin). 6. New -G,-A,-R -xxx feature: vendor:. Note that vendor data is very bloated and messy so it's trimmed down substantially, using a series of filters and rules, and thus it can contain the following: the actual vendor, like Dell, nothing, the motherboard vendor/product for board based PCI items, or a complete vendor/product string if it's unique. I couldn't think of a clean field name that meant: vendor OR vendor + basic product info OR motherboard + board version OR full product name, including vendor, so in the end, I just used vendor: but it's not quite the right term, but nothing else seemed to work better. Testers responded very enthusiastically about this feature so I guess the vendor: name is ok. Changes: 1. Biggest change: Drives: HDD: total: the HDD: is now changed to: Local Storage: This was part of issue #153 and is a good suggestion because HDD generally was used to refer to hard disks, spinning, but with nvme, m.2, ssd, etc, that term is a bit dated. 'Local' is because inxi does not include detected remote storage in the totals. 2. The recent --wm option which forced ps as data source for window manager detection has been reversed, now --wm forces wmctrl and ps aux is preferred. Still falls back to wm ctrl in case the ps test is null, this is better because I have to add the wm data manually for each one, whereas wmctrl has an unknown set and probably variable set of wm. Note that I reversed this because I saw several cases where wmctrl was wrong, and reported a generic source wm instead of the real one. Since most uses are not going to even be aware of the wm: feature as enhanced with --wm switch, this should have no impact on users in general. Since the detected wm name needs to be know to get assigned to wm: and wm version data, I think it will work better to have the known variants match with the wm data values, then just fallback to unknown ones that can get fille in over time as we find wm that people actually use and that you can get version info on and detect. Removed: 1. Got rid of tests for GTK compiled with version for many desktops, that test was always wrong because it did not have any necessary relation to the actual gtk version the desktop was built out of, and it also almost always returned no data. Since this is an expensive and slow test, and is always going to be wrong or empty anyway, I've removed it. My tests showed it taking about 300ms or so to generate no data, heh. That's the tk: feature in -S. Note I also found that gnome-shell takes an absurdly long time to give --version info, the slowest of all such things, 300ms again, just to show version? Someone should fix that, there's no possible reason why it should take 300 milliseconds to give a simple version string. Note that this returns tk: to only returning real data, which in this case means only xfce, kde, and trinity, which are the only desktops that actually report their toolkit data. I'll probably remove that code in the future unless I can think of some real use for gtk version elsewhere, but it's just junk data which doesn't even work. In the future, I will not try to emulate or guess at desktop toolkits, either they show the data in a direct form like XFCE or Trinity or KDE do, or I won't waste resources and execution time making bad guesses using inefficient code and logic. QT desktops like LXQt I'm leaving in because I believe those will tend to track more closely the QT version on the system, and the tests for QT version aren't huge ugly hacks the way they are for GTK, so they aren't as slow or intrusive, but those may also get removed since they almost never work either. But they are also slowing down the -Sx process so maybe they should be removed as well, I'll think about it. Since they only are used on LXQt and razer-qt, it probably isn't a big deal overall. |

New version, new man. Several bug fixes, enhancements, options.
Bugs: 1. In some cases, -S Desktop showed xfce when it wasn't xfce. This should be largely corrected now. 2. Big bug: using lxqt-about for lxqt --version, now opens a dialog box, gui, so removed that, and now checking lxqt-session for version info instead. Fixes: 1. Now calling hitachi hgst drives vendor: HGST (Hitachi) to differentiate between regular Hitachi and HGST hitachi. Added a few more disk vendors. 2. Distro base and core: added linuxlite, elementary. Some distros use: /etc/upstream-release/lsb-release so testing for that and os-release now too. 3. Extended qt detections, may catch a few stray ones now in non kde qt desktops. 4. Complete refactor of desktop, desktop info, wm, and -G compositor, now much easier to extend each feature and add detections, move order around, etc. Also moved wm to -Sxx now that I use fallback ps aux tests, which were themselves also totally refactored and optimized. Fixed WindowMaker id, which is made more annoying because they are the only upper/lower case program name, but in at least debian, the actual program name is wmaker internally. Also tightened in particular gnome-shell, which was failing to show due to too restrictive filtering of desktop/vm repeats. Most wm do not contain the desktop name in the string, gnome-shell does, only one I'm aware of. 5. Removed N/A from wmctrl output, which just means null, which is what we want. 6. Removed gnome-shell from info: since it will now appear in wm: if found. Added a few -panel items to info: Enhancements: 1. Showing type: network bridge for -N when it's type 0680, which is an odd pci type, generally it's a network bridge, but I figured it's best to show that explicitly to avoid confusion. This extends the 'type:' from just USB. 2. Added more window managers to wm, matchbox, flwm, fvwm2 (used to just use fvwm, this was wrong, it's its own thing), a few others. 3. Added a few more compositors to -Gxx. kwin_x11 should be the most noticeable, but added some more obscure ones too. This feature requires more work. 4. Extended ARM syntax to support a new one, path to /sys/device... has an extra /soc/ in it, that is now handled, all are tested for. Confirmed working. Note that ARM has to be confirmed fixed on a device by device basis, since there are key syntax differences in the paths, but it will get easier the more variants that are discovered. Added another trimmer to cut off \x00|01|02|03 special non printing characters which show as weird jibbberish in output, for model/serial number. 5. Refactored wm, info, desktop, compositor, now all use @ps_gui, which is all that is tested against, not the entire ps_cmd array. This drops the possible tests down massively since the only things in ps_gui will be the actual stuff found that matches all the patterns required for that system, not all ps items. Added marco, muffin fixes. Was showing wm: Metacity (Marco) that is not correct, now shows marco, which then allows to get version too. 5. -Sxxx now shows wm: version as well, which can be of use now and then. 6. --wm added to trip force using of ps data for wm, this can be useful because I don't know all variants of wmctrl output, so that makes it easier to test. 7. Added finally support for --debug 3, which now shows timers, functions, and args printed to screen. 8. Added qmake --version to fallback qt detection. |

New version, new man. Big bug fix, new features.
Bugs: 1. Finally tracked down and solved the Xorg drivers bug which was caused by Xorg checking its list of defaults 2 times, not 1, which resulted in failed status on second try since it was already loaded. Secondary bug was found that resulted in failing to show the failed, and only showing unloaded, which was also wrong. This finally fixes issue #134 item 5. Thanks Mint users for the help on that one. 2. Small bug in Openbox version detection, typo. 3. fixed a small glitch in the dm: detection that on systems where /var/run exists but is not linked to /run, the dm would fail to get detected. Fixes: 1. Xfce when defaulting to no version found goes to 4, this is a bad idea, it's better to not show any version, since xfcie could one day be 5. 2. Fixed Blackbox fallback detection, there were cases where Blackpox not found in xprop -root, now it falls back to ps aux detection. 3. For wm: tested all known variants, added support for things like Mutter (Marco) syntax. Note that bunsenlab uses XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=XFCE to work around some glitches, but it's actually Openbox. If run as root, it will show openbox correctly, otherwise -Sxxx will show wm: openbox, but that's due to bunsenlabs choices there. 4. Rewrote a lot of DistroData to handle more dynamic testing of values, it's sad that at almost 2020 we are still stumbling around trying to find a consistent way to identify distros, and derived distros. 5. Added more debugger data collectors in the logging, some data was not being tracked well during log process which made debugging harder. Enhancements: 1. New feature, -Gxx now shows for Xorg drivers alternate: which are drivers that Xorg auto checks but which are not installed. Those were ignored in the past. This can be useful to see for example that there are other driver install options available. Thanks gm10 for that suggestion. 2. Tested and added the following explicit handlers for Distros: and base: in some cases: grml, peppermint, kali, siduction, aptosid, arco, manjaro, chakra, antergos, bunsenlabs, and a few others. These are a pain to add and test, basically I have to boot a live cd of each one, then test the files and ID methods, but the ID methods must also be as dynamic as possible because you never know when a distro is going to change how they use os-release vs issue vs lsb-release vs <name>-release. I would have tested a few more but their livecds failed to properly run on vbox. 3. Added a few more disk vendor IDs. 4. Added some more programs to debugger data collector for future feature vdpau, but that needs more data because we don't really know the variants for example for dual card systems. 5. Man page: changed extra options to use only one option name per list of options for that feature, each separe item is started as a new paragraph with - This makes it a bit more consistent and maybe slightly easier to read the man. Added -Gxx item, updated -Sx item. |

Bugs: 1. -I line, sometimes running in showed sudo. This is hopefully now corrected. Fixes: 1. CPU architectures, small reordering based on hopefully more reliable data source, but these are hard to find conclusively. 2. -S Distro id: switched ordering of prefered os-release sources, PRETTY_NAME is not being used consistently, too many distros leave out the distro id found in VERSION, so now it uses NAME + VERSION if both are there, then PRETTY_NAME as a fallback. That reverses how it was, but it will provide better results for most distros. Distros that did this properly to begin with should see no change. 3. Now that inxi is basically debugged and working, I've removed the output of 'inxi' from the -t lines. It remains for the pinxi branch however so you can see how many resources pinxi uses to run. 4. ipmi sensors data are proving to be as random as lm-sensors. Added another alternate syntax for sensors. 5. CPU: found an alternate syntax, again, for IPMI and sensors data, added support, I hope, for that. Enhancements: 1. Added /proc debugger tool to debugger. Due to oddities with how the /proc file system is created, it will only run as user, not root, unless the --proc flag is used. More programs added to debugger commands. 2. More disk vendor strings added, fine tuning of vendor detections. There is a tendency in NVMe disk names to put the vendor name in the middle of the string. That is now handled for a few key vendors. 3. Added basic ARM SOC and server support. This will require more work in the future because the syntax used varies significantly device to device, but the featuers are now in place to add that support. Most SBC ARM devices should now at least show the model and details data in machine data, and some will show -G -A -N data as well. 4. ARM CPU: added first attempt to show the cpu variant as well as the more generic ARM data. This shows 1 or more variants, some ARM devices have two different cpu cores running at different speeds. Odroid for example. 5. Added system 'base:' data for -Sx, that modifies Distro: in supported cases. Currently only Mint and MX/AntiX supported because each specific distro must be handled explicitly using empirical file based data tests. I decided against showing this for rolling release, since really everyone knows that Antergos is made from Arch Linux, so showing that does not provide much useful information, whereas showing the Ubuntu version Mint was made from does. Note that several derived distros are changing how they use os-release, so the tools had to be revised to be more dynamic, which is a pain, and makes it even more empirical and less predictable to print what should be trivially easy to gather distro and derived source data. If your distro is not in this list and you want the base data to be present, please supply a --debug 22 dataset so I can check all the files required to make the detection work. If your distro has changed methods, please note which methods were used in the past, and which are used now. 6. Added Armbian distro detection, that's tricky. Added Rasbpian detections. Added improved Antergos, Arco, and maybe Chakra, Arch detections. 7. Big one: Hardware RAID basic support added. Note that each vendor, and unfortunatley, often each product line, has its own raid status and drive reporting tools, which makes adding the actual drive/raid/status report part very time consuming to add. I may only support this if a certain software maker's raid tools are installed because they are much simpler to parse, but for now, it only shows the presence of the raid device itself, not disks, raid status, etc. |

New version, man page. Features, bugs, fixes!
Bugs: 1. Color selector accepted '' as a value, which it would then write to config file, creating errors since it's not an integer value. 2. Corrected distro id error for last fallback case, making the distro ID out of the filename itself, that was missing the assignment to $distro. 3. mmcblk0 was showing up as an unmounted partition, due to failing to filter mmcblk[0-9] in unmounted. Fixes: 1. Added missing compositor kwin_wayland to compositor detections 2. For -M, on laptops, sometimes Type: would duplicate in Chassis: type: which looks silly, so now it checks to make sure the two values are different before using the Chassis: type: data. 3. -D disk vendor, added GALAX, fixed Toshiba, which sometimes occurs other than start of disk id string, so now it checks the whole string. This seems particularly common in nvme devices from Toshiba. This is the only vendor I have found that puts the vendor string later in the device id string. 4. Added protection against unreadable but present /etc/issue. This was caused by a now fixed bug in OpenSuSe, which symbolically linked to create /etc/issue from /var/run/issue, but with 600 permissions, root read only, that is. Note that this bug has since been fixed (now has the correct 644 permissions), but I figured better safe than sorry in case anyone else decides that's a good idea in the future. Now only sends to reader if readable. 5. Related to 4, made reader not exit on failure, now just prints error message and keeps going. 6. Upped maximum distro string length to 60, from 50. AntiX for example was coming in at 48, so I decided to add some safe room now that inxi does dynamic sizing, it is not a big problem having very long distro id strings. Enhancements: 1. Added basic /proc data parser to debugger. Can't get all the data or files because it's simply too big, but grabs the basics. 2. Added vcgencmd for some ARM rasberry pi debugging. 3. ARM: add model if not found in /proc/cpuinfo, or if different. 4. Added Tdie cpu sensor type, this is coming soon in latest kernels, so catching it early. Tdie will replace k10-temp sensor item temp1. 5. Added --admin extra data option, and first set of extra data, -C, which will show CPU Errata (bugs), family, model-id, stepping (as hex (decimal) or hex if less than or equal to 9), microcode (as hex). 6. Battery: added with -x option, if found, attached battery driven devices, like wifi keyboard, mouse. If upower is present, will also try to show battery charge percent for those devices. Note that -B only shows the Device-X items if -x is used, and will not show anything in -F unless there is a system, not device, battery present, or if -Fx is used and there is a Device battery detected. Added upower to recommends. 7. Basic -Dxxx disk rotation speeds added. Requires udevadm. Not all spinning disks show rotation speeds, and it depends on udevadm, so if no rotation found, it shows nothing. 8. Added explicit Arco Linux and Antergos distro ID support. This requires more checks, but in theory, both should now show Arco Linux or Antergos instead of default 'Arch Linux' as before, plus extra data if found, like version. |

New version, new tarball.
This version is very peaceful, no big changes, just a few fixes and small new features added. This version corrects a few small glitches reported by users, and adds basic support for disk speed report. Note that this is not as accurate as I'd like, it tries, but there is not a lot of data to be had. Limits of disk speed seems to be, roughly: 1. most speed is reported as max board can do, not max drive can support 2. usually when speed is reported as lower than max board speed, it's correct, but, as usual, exceptions to this were found during testing. 3. usually if drive is faster than board speed, it reports board speed, but, again, exceptions to this rule were found during testing. However, with this said, it's usually more or less right, at least right in terms of the fastest speed you can expect to get with your board. NVMe was also supported, that's much more complicated because NVMe has >= 1 lane, and each lane has up and down data. The reported speed is max in one direction, and is a function of the PCIe 1,2 20% overhead, and PCIe 3,4,5 ~1.5% overhead. inxi shows the actual usable data rate, not the GT/s rate, which is the total transfers per second the unit supports. So due to the unreliable nature of the data, this is only a -xx option. There is also in general no data for USB, and none for mmcblk (sd cards usually). This feature may be enhanced with a C Perl XS library in the future, we'll see how that goes. FIXES: 1. corrected an issue where a networking card of type Bridge failed to be detected. This is now handled. This was a PCI type I'd never seen before, but it exists, and a user had it, so now it will work as expected for this type. 2. changed the default units in weather to be m (metric) imperial (i). While this is not very intuitive for me, it's easier to explain I think. The previous c / f syntax is supported internally, and inxi will just translate c to m and f to i, so it doesn't matter which is or was used on a config file or with the --weather-unit option. 3. BSD uptime had a parsing glitch, there was a spelling variant I'd never seen in GNU/Linux that broke the regex. This is corrected now. 4. Fixed a few small man page glitches, some ordering stuff, nothing major. 5. Fixed BSD hostname issues. There was a case where a setup could have no hostname, inxi did not handle that correctly. This fix would have applied to gnu/linux as well. 6. Fixed a few bsd, openbsd mostly, dm detections, there is a secondary path in OpenBSD that was not checked. This also went along with refactoring the dm logic to be much more efficient and optimized. 7. Fine tuned dmidecode error message. 8. Fixed PCI ID issue, it was failing to catch a certain bridged network type. 9. A more global fix for unhandled tmpfs types, in this case, shm, but added a global test that will handle all tmpfs from now on, and exclude that data from -p reports. NEW FEATURES: 1. First attempt to add basic disk speed (Gb/s). Supported types: ATA, NVMe. No speed data so far handled or found: mmcblk; USB. Also possibly older /dev/hda type devices (IDE bus) may not get handled in all cases. This may get more work in the future, but that's a long ways off. This case oddly was one where BSDs had support for basic disk speed reports before GNU/Linux, but that was really just because it was part of a single data line that inxi parsed for disk data anyway with BSDs. 2. Man items added for -Dxx disk speed options. |

New version, new man. Bug fixes, feature updates.
The main reason to release this earlier than I had hoped was because of the /sys permission change for serial/uuid file data. The earlier we can get this fix out, the better for end users, otherwise they will think they have no serial data when they really do. FIXES: 1. this bug just came to my attention, apparently the (I assume) kernel people decided for us that we don't need to see our serial numbers in /sys unless we are root. This is an unfortunate but sadly predictable event. To work around this recent change (somewhere between 4.14 and 4.15 as far as I can tell), inxi -M and -B now check for root read-only and show <root required> if the file exists but is not user readable. I wish, I really wish, that people could stop changing stuff for no good reason, but that's out of my control, all I can do is adjust inxi to this reality. But shame on whoever decided that was a good idea. This is not technically an inxi bug, but rather a regression, since it's caused by a change in /sys permissions, but users would see it as a bug so I consider this an important fix. Note that the new /sys/class/dmi/id permissions result in various possible things: 1. serial/uuid file is empty but exists and is not readable by user 2. serial/uuid file is not empty and exists and is not readable by user 3. serial/uuid file does not exist 4. serial/uuid file exists, is not empty, and is readable by root Does this change make your life better? It doesn't make mine better, it makes it worse. Consider filing a bug report against whoever allowed this regression is my suggestion. BUGS: 1. A weather bug could result in odd or wrong data showing in weather output, this was due to a mistake in how the weather data was assembled internally. This error could lead to large datastore files, and odd output that is not all correct. 2. More of an enhancement, but due to the way 'v' is used in version numbers, the program_version tool in some cases could have sliced out a 'v' in the wrong place in the version string, and also could have sliced out legitimate v values. This v issue also appeared in bios version, so now the new rule for program_version and certain other version results is to trim off starting v if and only if it is followed by a number. FEATURES: 1. Added in OpenBSD support for showing machine data without having to use dmidecode. This is a combination of systcl -a and dmesg.boot data, not very good quality data sources, but it is available as user, and it does work. Note that BIOS systems are the only ones tested, I don't know what the syntax for UEFI is for the field names and strings. Coming soon is Battery and Sensors data, from the same sources. Sadly as far as I know, OpenBSD is the only BSD that has such nice, usable (well, ok, dmesg.boot data is low quality strings, not really machine safe) data. I have no new datasets from the other BSDs so I don't know if they have decided to copy/emulate this method. 2. By request, and this was listed in issue #134, item no. 1, added in weather switchable metric/imperial output. Also added an option, --weather-unit and configuration item: WEATHER_UNIT with possible values: cf|fc|c|f. The 2nd of two in cf/fc goes in () in the output. Note that windspeed is m/s or km/h as metric, inxi shows m/s as default for metric and (km/h as secondary). Also fixed -w observation date to use local time formatting. That does not work in -W so it shows the default value. 3. Updated man to show new WEATHER_UNIT config option, and new --weather-unit option. Also fixed some other small man glitches that I had missed. |

New version, new tarball. New features, bug fixes.
This is a big one. NEW FEATURES: 1. By Request: Disk vendor is now generally going to be shown. Since this uses empirical data to grab the vendor name, from the model string, it will not always find anything. When it fails to find vendor data, no vendor: item will show. Note that some MMC devices will probably not show vendor data, but that's due to there being no data that reveals that. 2. Extended -sx volts to also show voltage from lm-sensors if present. Many systems show no voltage data with lm-sensors, but now if any is found, it will show, same as impi. 3. Moved to lsblk as primary source for partition/unmounted filesystem, uuid, and label data. Falls back to previous methods if lsblk does not return data. Some lsblk do not show complete data unless super user as well. 4. Refactored code to be more logical and clear. 5. Added for OpenBSD -r: /etc/installurl file. BUG FIXES: 1. CRITICAL: /sys/block/xxx/device/model is in some cases truncating the disk model name to 16 characters. This is not an inxi bug, it's a bug with /sys itself. To fix this, inxi now uses for GNU/Linux /dev/disk/by-id data which does not ever do this truncation. It's also faster I believe to read that directory once, filter the results, then use the data for vendor/model/serial. this was also part of the disk vendor data feature. 2. Openbsd networking fix. Was not showing IF data, now it does. 3. Fixed bug with unmounted where sometimes md0 type partitions would show even though they are in a raid array. 4. Fixed disk rev, now it searches for 3 different files in /sys to get that data. 5. Fixed bug with very old systems, with sudo 1.6 or older, for some reason that error did not get redirected to /dev/null, so now only using sudo -n after explicit version test, only if 1.7 or newer. 6. Fixed a few null results in fringe cases for graphics. Resolution now shows NA for Hz if no hz data found. This was only present on a fringe user case which is unlikely to ever impact normal X installations. 7. Fixed BSD L2 cache, was showing MiB instead of KiB, wrong math. |

New version, new man. Bug fixes. BSD fixes.
Bugs fixed: 1. CPU: MT/HT was wrong for old xeon, made mt detection more robust and hopefully more reliable, removed all explicit b_xeon based tests. 2. fixed /dev/mapper glitch, that make /dev/mapper links fail to get id'ed. 3. openbsd: fixed memory handler; fixed cpu flags, fixed partitions handling. 4. freebsd: fixed similar partition bugs, these were caused by the darwin patch. 5. man page: fixed top synopis syntax, thanks ESR. 6. partitions fs: fixed possible failures with lsblk fs. lsblk: added debuggers so we can track down this failure in the future. 7. added sshfs filter for disk used output, note, there is a possible syntax for remote fs that isn't handled: AAA:BBB that is, no :/, only the :. This makes explicit detection of still unknown remote fs very difficult since : is a legal nix filename character. |

New version, new man. Small new enhancements.
1. Added to -s for ipmi, with -x: voltage 12v,5v,3.3v,vbat; for -xx, dimm/soc p1/p2 voltages 2. enhanced wm: feature, needed more filters and protection against redundant data 3. basic apple osx fixes to keep it from crashing, but I'm not spending any more time on apple junk unless someone pays me for my time, I can't stand the product or company, it's the total antitheses of freedom or free software, or even openness. 4. openbsd/bsd fixes: openbsd was failing to get cpu flags due to a small oversight 5. -C now shows bits: for the true bits of cpu, not the kernel bits. This is not a reliable measurement but should be right about 95+ percent of the time, and basically all of the time for GNU/Linux on Intel/AMD, most of the time for ARM. When it doesn't know it does not guess, and shows N/A. 6. bsd fix for usb, was running numeric action on string value 7. fixed stderr tool for program_version, now it's hard-coded in program_values which removes an unneded regex search for every program version test. 8. Mate detection, switched to using mate-sesssion instead of mate-about, the latter is not getting updated and has the wrong version number on it. |
