+Version: 3.1.05
+Patch: 00
+Date: 2020-07-26
+-----------------------------------
+Changes:
+-----------------------------------
+
+Bug fixes!!! New Features!! Why wait!!!
+
+Bugs:
+1. Issue #220 on github: inxi misidentified XFCE as Gnome. This was a kind of core
+issue, and pointed to some logic that needed updating, and some inadequate
+assumptions made, and some too loose cascade of tests. Hopefully now xfce will
+almost never get misidentified, and the other primary desktops ID'ed either from
+$ENV or from xrop -root will be slightly more accurately identified as well.
+
+Note that this fix creates a possibility for obscure misconfigured desktops to
+be ID'ed wrong, but in this case, that will be technically a bug for them, but
+with the new fixes, that situation will be cleaner to handle internally in the
+desktop ID logic.
+
+Also tightened the final Gnome fallback detection to not trigger a possible
+false positive, it was testing for ^_GNOME but that is not adequate, because
+some gnome programs will trigger these values in xprop -root even if GNOME
+is not running. Should be safer now, hopefully no new bugs will be triggered
+by these changes.
+
+Fixes:
+1. Missed an indentation level for -y1, gcc alt should have been indented in
+one more level, now it is.
+
+2. In disk vendors/family, didn't clean items starting with '/', this is
+now corrected. Yes, some do, don't ask me why. Might be cases like:
+Crucial/Micron maybe, where the first ID is grabbed, not sure.
+
+
+Enhancements:
+1. New Disk vendors, vendor IDs!!! The list never ends!!! We've finally found
+infinity, and it is the unceasing wave of tiny and not so tiny disks and their
+Ids.
+
+2. New feature: for -Aa, -Na/-na/-ia, -Ga, now will add the modules the kernel
+could support if they were available on the Device-x lines of those items.
+This was made an -a option because it really makes no sense, if it's a regular
+option, users might think that for example an nvidia card had a nouveua driver
+when it didn't, when in fact, all the kernel is saying is that it knows those
+listed modules 'couid' be used or present. This corresponds to the Display:
+item in -Ga, that lists 'alternate:' drivers that Xorg knows about that could
+likewise be used, if they were on the system.
+
+In other words these are --admin options because otherwise users might get confused,
+so this is one where you want to know the man explanation before you ask for it.
+
+It is useful however if you're not sure what your choices are for kernel modules.
+
+When the alternate driver is the same as the active driver, or if none is found,
+it does not show the alternate: item to avoid spamming.
