GSmartControl

Release Notes: Full support was added for multiple drives behind a single device name. Support was added for detecting drives behind 3ware controllers (Linux, Windows), including tw_cli/cx/px mode in Windows. Beesu and su-to-root are supported by the gsmartcontrol-root script now. The attribute database and its handling (including SSD support) were completely revamped. General UI improvements and better in-program help were implemented. The parser has been updated to reflect the recent changes in smartctl. Other minor features were added and a few bugs were fixed.

Release Notes: GSmartControl now uses the XDG config directory for per-user configuration on Unix and the CSIDL_PROFILE directory on Windows. Existing configuration is migrated automatically. The names are shown correctly for unsupported devices even with the latest smartctl snapshots now. The progress bars update properly when parallel tests are run. On Windows, GSmartControl should be able to operate on any valid filesystem path (not just locale-representable ones). Parsing of multiple error types in SMART error log was fixed. Minor features were added and miscellaneous bugs were fixed.

Release Notes: Linux Software RAID devices are blacklisted now (backported from Debian). A man page has been contributed. The smartctl version now includes the CVS snapshot date (if available). By default, "smartctl-nc.exe" is searched for on Windows instead of "smartctl.exe". An ability to use smartmontools-installed smartctl-nc.exe has been added. Other minor changes have been made.

Release Notes: Many Windows-specific bugs were fixed. Windows 2000 is officially supported now. New scripts were added to read SMART data from cron-generated files, thus preventing the need to run GSmartControl as root for read-only tasks. Some configure system improvements were made.

Release Notes: The gsmartcontrol_root.sh script was renamed to gsmartcontrol-root, incorporating distribution-specific fixes as well as desktop auto-detection. Many Windows-related fixes were made (especially for Vista). Other minor bugs were fixed.
