    - The docker image used for CI and release builds is now based on
      Debian 12 instead of Ubuntu 18.04.
    - macOS: CI and release builds are now generated for the x86_64 and arm64
      targets. 32 bit platforms will require to be compiled from the source.
    - smartctl '-t short', '-t long' and '-X': NVMe support.
    - smartctl '-l selftest': NVMe support.
    - smartctl '-l farm': Prints Seagate's vendor-specific Field Access
      Reliability Metrics (FARM) log for ATA and SCSI drives.
    - smartctl '-l error': Now also prints an error message for each entry
      of NVMe error information log.
    - smartctl '-l genstats': Prints SCSI General statistics and performance
      log page.
    - smartctl '-i' and '--identify': ACS-4/5/6 enhancements.
    - smartctl '-c': Added NVMe 2.0 capability flags.
    - smartctl '-g security': Added 'ata_security.master_password_id'
      to JSON output.  Plaintext output shows Master Password ID if set
      to a non-default value.
    - smartctl '-q noserial': Now also suppresses the output of NVMe Namespace
      IEEE EUI-64.
    - smartctl '-j': '-l error -l selftest' JSON output for NVMe devices.
    - smartctl '-j': Avoid invalid UTF-8 sequences in JSON/YAML strings.
    - smartctl '-j': Fixed a bogus exception during SCSI JSON output.
    - smartctl '-j': Renamed JSON element 'scsi_temperature' back to
      'temperature' (regression).
    - smartctl '-a': Now suggests '-x' for ATA devices because '-a' only
      provides legacy SMART information.
    - smartd: Now detects accidental use of smartd_warning script as
      '-M exec' parameter.
    - smartd: No longer writes the 'Copyright...' line to syslog.
    - smartd.conf '-M always': Sends reminder emails without any delay.
    - smartd.conf '-M diminishing': Limited email delay to 32 days.
    - ATA: Fixed decoding of extended self-test log on big endian hosts.
    - ATA: Enhanced LBA range for device types '-d jmb39x-q,...' and
      '-d jms56x,...' from 33-62 to 1-255.
    - ATA: Device type '-d intelliprop,N' now fails with a deprecation message.
      Added '-d intelliprop,N,force' flag to use it anyway.
    - ATA/USB: Device type '-d usbasm1352r,N' for ASMedia ASM1352R USB to SATA
      RAID bridges
    - SCSI: Fixed possible corruption issue with the Error Counter and
      Non medium Error log pages.
    - SCSI: Added more "Informational Exceptions" strings.
    - SCSI: Added initial support for REPORT SUPPORTED OPERATION command.
    - SCSI: Initial rework of SCSI debug output.
    - NVMe: Added error messages for NVMe status values.
    - NVMe: Fixed crash after read of error information log on big endian hosts.
    - HDD, SSD and USB additions to drive database.
    - update-smart-drivedb: Fixed syntax for 'sed' versions which require
      ';' before '}' or do not support ';' at all.
    - configure: Default for '--with-nvme-devicescan' is now 'yes' also on
      Darwin and FreeBSD.  It is still 'no' on NetBSD only.
    - configure: Defines '_FORTIFY_SOURCE=3' if supported and not predefined.
    - configure: No longer fails if libsystemd-dev is installed and
      'LDFLAGS=-static' is used.
    - Compile fix for systems without legacy 'getdtablesize()'.
    - Pre-releases from SVN snapshots now show "pre-VERSION" in version
      information and 'smartctl.pre_release=true' in JSON output.
    - Linux: Device type '-d sssraid' for 3SNIC RAID controllers.
    - Linux: Device type '-d marvell' now fails with a deprecation message.
      Added '-d marvell,force' flag to use it anyway.
    - Linux: The generic SCSI code now defaults to SG_IO_V3 and does no
      longer fall back to the deprecated SCSI_IOCTL_SEND_COMMAND
      (but this ioctl is still used for '-d 3ware' and '-d marvell,force').
    - Linux smartd: Now prevents systemd unit startup timeout when many
      devices are registered and then initially checked.
    - Linux smartd: Systemd no longer reports a service failure if no device
      is present and a '-q *nodev0*' option is used.
    - Windows: IOCTL_STORAGE_PROTOCOL_COMMAND variant for NVMe self-tests.
    - Windows: Installer now defaults to 64-bit executables.

    About YAVCHN

    Windows

    Each story opens in a window holding its article above its discussion; drag the bar between them to share the room differently. A window can be moved by its title bar, resized from any edge, snapped to a half or a corner by dragging it there, maximised, or minimised to the bar at the foot of the page. Use Window > New reader window to open an empty reader, or Story > Open in new reader window to open another reader for the current article. Docked readers keep their articles when you select another story from the sidebar. Minimized readers can be restored and reused for their site. A window's Next story link reads on down the list in the same window.

    A link in a comment or an article to another Hacker News or Lobsters thread opens that thread in a window too. A link to a single HN comment opens the comment above its replies.

    While a story's window is in front, the Story and Discussion menus in the menu bar hold its commands: pinning, Next story, sorting, collapsing every thread, jumping to the first new comment. Each window also remembers where you were in its article and discussion, so a reload, or Back to a story that Next took you past, finds your place again. Closing a window forgets it.

    The whole arrangement lives in the address, so a bookmark or a shared link brings it back, and Back undoes the last change. Moving between Hacker News, Lobsters, their lists, Pinned and Find changes only the list, and leaves the windows open.

    The list

    The pin at the start of a row keeps the story in Pinned, and the cross at its end hides it. Pinned can be narrowed by words in the title, site or author, by source, and to the stories you haven't opened yet, and ordered by when you pinned them, by points or by comments; the filters are part of the address, so a filtered view can be bookmarked. Scroll past the end of the list to load more. Domain filters, in the View menu, hide every story from a site.

    Browsing view

    View > Windowed and View > Classic select the browsing view and save your default in this browser. Window view reuses a reader for each feed. Classic view opens stories and applets as pages. Open as a page and Open in a window are one-off actions that do not change your saved default. Direct page links always open as pages.

    Applets

    The Applets menu in the menu bar holds three tools, each a window of its own. Replies to me takes your Hacker News user name and lists the replies to your last thirty comments and stories, checking again every three minutes while it is open, and marking what is new since you last marked them read. Look up a user opens a profile on Hacker News or Lobsters, with their submissions and recent comments, as a commenter's name in any discussion does; the bar at the top of a profile looks up someone else in the same window, and Back returns to the one before. Who is hiring? filters the posts of HN's monthly hiring threads by the words you type.

    They read only what the sites publish to everyone, so none of them asks for a login, and your user name stays in this browser.

    Find

    Find takes any link and lists every time it was submitted to Hacker News and Lobsters, so you can read each discussion of it.

    About

    YAVCHN never sees your Hacker News or Lobsters login. The discussion is fetched from each site's public API; to vote or reply, follow the link above the discussion, or the arrow beside a comment, to the source's own site. Pins, hidden stories, filters and layout are kept in this browser only.
