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. + + +----------------------------------- +-- Harald Hope - Tue, 30 Apr 2019 17:37:10 -0700 + +===================================================================================== +Version: 3.0.33 +Patch: 00 +Date: 2019-03-29 +----------------------------------- +Changes: +----------------------------------- +New version, new man. Weather explanations, disks, bugs!! + +Bugs: +1. For sensors, in some cases, gpu failed to show correctly. This fixed issue #175 + +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. + +----------------------------------- +-- Harald Hope - Fri, 29 Mar 2019 14:03:51 -0700 + ===================================================================================== Version: 3.0.32 Patch: 00 -- cgit v1.2.3
