#Fwupd 2.1.3 #Linux Firmware Updater Released with Support for the SHIFT6mq and SHIFTphone 8 https://9to5linux.com/fwupd-2-1-3-linux-firmware-updater-adds-support-for-shift6mq-and-shiftphone-8

#OpenSource #FreeSoftware

I've just tagged a new #fwupd release: https://github.com/fwupd/fwupd/releases/tag/2.1.3

There's nothing amazing here, but a few highlights are the progress bar is now buttery-smooth (moving from integer percentage to double precision) and that you now don't need to load all the crypto libs if you're just using libfwupd in your app.

There are a couple of regressions fixed too, so be sure to upgrade when your distro provides the update.

Lenovo and Dell become Premier sponsors of LVFS, funding $200K/year for Linux firmware delivery and ecosystem stability. ⚙️
The service adds fair-use download metrics and limits analytics to improve transparency. 🔧

I'm at #PremDay at Paris and just walked past two people in the hallway I've never met in my life talking excitedly about #LVFS and #fwupd. I know it's an unusual niche open source project but it was a super proud moment for me.

Open source maintenance is 99% fixing bugs and little things like this make it all worthwhile. Thanks those 2 random people!
