Tue Oct  2 10:38:11 UTC 2018 - Antonio Larrosa <alarrosa@suse.com> - 0.9.2

- Update to ddcutil 0.9.2
  * Command ddcutil detect
    + Eliminate the Supports DDC: line. The output of this line reflects the result
      of a simple test for slave address x37 at the I2C layer. This command can
      fail on monitors that support DDC and succeed in monitors where DDC is
      turned off. The result of the x37 test is still reported as part of the
      --verbose output of detect.

+ Eliminate duplicate displays for DisplayPort connected monitors.

* Command ddcutil --help
    + Include command scs (Save Current Settings) in the output of ddcutil --help.
      ddcutil scs executes a Save Current Settings operation, which is supported
      by some but not all DDC capable displays. This command was implemented some
      time ago, but was not described in the help output.

* Command ddcutil environment
    + When checking for group i2c membership, issue a special message if running
      as root instead of the generic message that the current user is not a
      member of group i2c.

* USB connected displays
    + Fix an invalid feature read of a USB connected display, observed when
      getting the controller manufacturer but VCP feature code xC8 is unsupported.

+ When reading a USB report, regard errno EINVAL as an expected indication
      that no value is found rather than an unexpected status code.

* Tracing
    + Fix the cause of a segfault when tracing a write-only DDC exchange
      (i.e. setting a VCP value)
    + Disable debug messages regarding device id table initialization in the
      environment command.
    + Eliminate double newlines in several error and trace messages

* Building ddcutil
    + libusb function libusb_set_debug() is deprecated in recent libusb versions,
      in favor of libusb_set_option(), resulting in a compiler warning when flag
      -Wdeprecated-declarations is set. Calls to libusb_set_debug() in file
      libusb_util.c are replaced by iftested code that uses the proper function.
    + Fix an unreachable assert() statement in file execution_stats.c that was
      detected by compiling with option -Werror-switch-unreachable.
    + Add "__attribute__ ((deprecated))" statements to functions
      ddca_report_active_displays() and ddca_get_feature_name_by_display(), in
      header file ddcutil_c_api.h. The inline documentation for these function
      already indicated their deprecated status.

- Update to ddcutil 0.9.1
  * Fix the cause of an abort that may occur on command environment --verbose
    when examining an extremely large log file.

- Update to ddcutil 0.9.0
  * Significant Command Line Changes
  * The setvcp command now allows new values for Continuous type features to be
    specified as relative values, e.g. the following commands increase or
    decrease the value of the brightness feature by 5.
    * ddcutil setvcp 10 + 5
    * ddcutil setvcp 10 - 5
  * Option --no-table is now the default.
  * Table type features are by default not included in most feature groups
    specified on getvcp, e.g. getvcp known.
  * The interpretation of --show-unsupported has been tweaked. This option
    applies to command getvcp. (The probe command always reports unsupported
    features.) Command getvcp reports unsupported features if any of the
    following hold:
    - A specific feature was specified by its code, as opposed to a feature set.
    - Verbose output is in effect
    - Option --show-unsupported was specified.
  * Options --rw and --ro apply to both the getvcp and vcpinfo commands.
    Option --wo applies only to vcpinfo.
  * Filters the information returned by vcpinfo to that for the specified
    MCCS version.
  * Additional feature sets have been defined for the getvcp and vcpinfo
    commands. They surface internal ddcutil feature descriptions, and are
    intended to facilitate exploring the MCCS specification and its
    implementation on particular monitors.
  * The VCP file created by dumpvcp now includes a PRODUCT_CODE field including
    the manufacturer product code from the EDID. For some manufacturers, the
    model name in the EDID does not in fact distinguish among models. Notably,
    Samsung commonly uses just "Syncmaster" for the model name. Currently,
    loadvcp recognizes this field name but does not make use of the value.
  * The C API has been extensively revised reflecting experience gained from
    work on a Qt C++ GUI interface. See API Changes in Release 9.0
    (http://www.ddcutil.com/c_api_90/) for details.
  * See more detailed changes at http://www.ddcutil.com/release_notes/#090

- Update to ddcutil 0.8.6
  * The externally visible changes in this release include minor enhancements
    and bug fixes. There are also changes in the C API. Internally, there have
    been extensive changes in support of the C and (future) Python APIs.
  * Because of the design of the DDC/CI protocol, there is no certain way to
    distinguish a response indicating that a feature of type Table (T) is
    unsupported from a DDC/CI protocol error. As a result, ddcutil getvcp
    performs the maximum number of retries on a Table type feature before
    giving up. However, Table type features are rarely implemented. The new
    --notable option allows Table type features to be ignored, speeding up
    execution of getvcp commmands for multiple features.
  * Option --notable applies if the argument to getvcp is a feature set, e.g.
    COLOR or KNOWN instead of a single feature id. In that case Table type
    features are ignored.
  * The use of longjmp() to handle exceptional error condiitions (typically
    program logic errors) has been eliminated.
  * API functions removed: ddca_register_jmp_buf(),
    ddca_get_global_failure_information()
  * Structs removed: DDCA_Global_Failure_Information
  * Add trace class ENV for tracing environment related functions
  * Internally, many functions in key portions of the code base now return
    exception-like structs instead of status codes. Option --excp causes
    ddcutil to report these exception-like structs when they are converted
    to status codes (and the internal detail is discarded).
  * Fix a segfault when probing DRM using the environment command on aarch64.
  * Fix a typo in the recommendations section at the end of the environment
    command.
  * See more detailed changes at http://www.ddcutil.com/release_notes/#086

- Update to ddcutil 0.8.5
  * This release contains a large number of minor enhancements and bug fixes
  * The environment command is extensively revised. The increasingly large
    collection of tests has been consolidated.
  * The required glib-2.0 version has been increased from 2.16 to 2.32
    reflecting the use of glib thread functions.
  * Fix a logic error in the VCP version comparison function vcp_version_le().
    This bug affected only audio related VCP feature codes x8f, x91, and x93.
    It also affected experimental command watch which listens for monitor
    changes not made by ddcutil, i.e. by pressing buttons on the monitor.
  * Properly handle the failure case where a display is detected on an I2C bus
    (EDID is read) but DDC communication fails, and the user specifies the
    display on the command line using the I2C bus number (option --bus).
  * Fix the cause of a segfault when the loadvcp command reads a user modified
    VCP file. The command now fails gracefully if none of MFG_ID, MODEL,
    and SN are present.
  * Fix the cause of a segfault when displaying I2C functionality flags in the
    --environment command. This segfault was seen only in 32 bit versions of
    ddcutil.
  * The --stats option showed incorrect time statistics on 32 bit versions of
    ddcutil.
  * Add "-lddcutil" to output of "pkgconfig ddcutil --libs".
  * Improve reporting of the individual errors that result in command failure
    due to maximum I2C retries exceeded.
  * interrogate, environment and usbenvironment now redirect all stderr output
    to stdout for easier capture
  * Added command line options -trcfile and -trcfunc to enable tracing by
    file name and function name.
  * Added configuration option --enable-x11 controlling whether X11 related
    diagnostics are included in the environment and interrogate commands,
    allowing ddcutil to build in embedded environments that lack X11.
    The default is yes.
  * Verbose EDID decription, e.g. on command detect --verbose, now reports EDID
    byte 24 (x14), the supported features bitmap. This is purely informational.
  * Ongoing work to make functions thread safe.
  * Code cleanup.
