LVFS/Fwupd lead developer Richard Hughes of Red Hat today announced the availability of Fwupd 2.0.13 for handling firmware updates on modern Linux systems.
With Fwupd 2.0.13 there is some new hardware support for devices able to carry out firmware updates under this open-source software. The HP USB-C 100W G6 Dock, Logitech Bulk Controller peripherals, and more MediaTek scaler devices have all joined the growing supported hardware list for Fwupd and the Linux Vendor Firmware Service (LVFS).
Fwupd 2.0.13 also adds support for glob-aware version comparison requirements, now can target specific regions in the FMAP when using Flashrom, and other improvements. There are also a number of fixes such as around fwupdtool, Intel ME firmware handling, reading the Intel GPU SKU and SVN when using Battlemage graphics hardware, and more.
Fwupd 2.0.13 also brings a number of small changes that together speed the startup of Fwupd by around 60% and lower RSS by around 40%.
