+Version: 3.0.36
+Patch: 00
+Date: 2019-08-14
+-----------------------------------
+Changes:
+-----------------------------------
+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.
