ddcutil release 1.3.0 contains the following changes of general interest:

  • Option --force-slave-address no longer has any effect.
    Driver i2c-dev provides both a low level ioctl() interface and a higher level read()/write() interface for I2C communication. ddcutil now uses the ioctl() interface (almost) exclusively. This eliminates the possibility of EBUSY errors from driver i2c-dev, which occur only when the read()/write() interface is used.
  • Commands getvcp and vcpinfo can now take multiple features as arguments, for example ddcutil getvcp 10 12.
  • Better reporting of user configuration issues at startup.
  • The sleep-suppression related options, --sleep-less, --less-sleep, --enable-sleep-suppression,
    and --disable-sleep-suppression no longer have any effect.

The most detailed description of changes and bug fixes can be found in source file CHANGELOG.md. A more general description of changes can is on website page Release Notes.

Prebuilt packages for several Linux distributions and machine architectures can be found in the usual locations.
