Hello everyone,
I just released GSmartControl 2.0.1 (a GUI for smartctl),
you can find it at:
https://gsmartcontrol.shaduri.dev
and
https://github.com/ashaduri/gsmartcontrol/releases
Changes in version 2.0.1:
Windows: Fixed a crash when saving or opening smartctl data.
I did not announce version 2.0.0 here when it was released,
so for anyone interested, here are the changes since the previous
stable version (1.1.4):
- New JSON-based parser for smartctl output (requires smartctl 7.3+)
(#4).
- Support for NVMe drives (self-tests require smartctl 7.4+) (#4).
- New "Basic" JSON parser for SCSI, flash, and other non-ATA/NVMe
drives.
- PCRE library is no longer required (the code has been ported to
std::regex) (#40).
- A lot of code has been refactored and modernized using C++17 and
C++20 features, removing much of the custom library code.
- The build process requires a C++20-compliant compiler now (GCC 13+,
Clang 17+, Apple Clang 15+).
- CMake (3.14+) is now used as a build system instead of autotools.
- GSmartControl is now licensed under GNU GPL 3 only.
- Icons come from Oxygen project now (LGPL 3+) instead of Crystal
project.
- Documentation in md format comes with the source code ("docs"
directory).
- Support new versions and prereleases of smartctl (#46, #42).
- Better detection of drive types thanks to the JSON parser.
- Removed ATA AODC feature, it has been deprecated for a while now.
- Information window: Some values are aligned and monospaced to improve
readability.
- Fixed command execution popup dialog being on top of all windows
(#17).
- Other minor UI improvements and fixes.
- Windows: Better support for HiDPI (including fractional scaling).
- Windows: NSIS package is generated by CPack now.
- Windows: Packages are built using GitHub CI now.
As always, I appreciate any testing and feedback.
