- Update to 2.2.5
* Bugfixes
- Fixes FTBFS on aarch64
* Changes
- Updates related to detecting and reporting display connection
and disconnection
- 2.2.3 -> 2.2.4
* Bugfixes
- Display selection has been reworked to be more flexible,
while also simpler internally
- "eDP" is once again an (almost) absolute indicator or a
laptop display which can be excluded from further processing.
To handle the error case where "eDP" is in the name for an
external display, option --edp-ambiguous has been added
- Segfault in the capabilities command when parsing a malformed
capabilities string returned by a monitor.
- Very slow response when the EDID is obtained from /sys but is
not readable using I2C.
* Changes
- Option --edid. If the value given starts with "...", the
remainder of the value is some number of hex digits.
- Added option --ignore-bus. Specifies the number of a /dev/i2c
bus that should be completely ignored, providing a workaround
for obscure bugs.
- 2.2.1 -> 2.2.3
* Bugfixes
- Starting with release 2.2.0, verification on command setvcp
and API functions that set a feature value did not not occur,
even if option --verify was explicitly given. As a result of
this fix, scripts and applications that hitherto appeared to

OBS-URL: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/hardware/ddcutil?expand=0&rev=42
- Update to 2.2.1:
* Added
- Do not perform permission checks if running with effective
user root, i.e. when running with setuid bit set.
Partially addresses issue #509
* Changed
- Command environment: report if running as root, with sudo, or
setuid bit set
- Command environment --verbose: eliminate some unneeded edid
read tests
- Command setvcp: Emit more more useful messages when the cause
of a DDCRC_RETRIES error is itself a DDCRC_RETRIES error.
- Add option --disable-traced-function-stack The default
traced-function-stack option value (disabled) is set in
parms.h.
* Fixed
- Avoid segfault if invalid feature code specified
- Maximum wait time on function lock_display() not respected,
possible infinte loop. Addresses issue #511
- Fix --verify/--noverify parsing. Addresses issue #512.
- ddca_close_display(): do not respect quiesce, allowing the
display lock record to be released, avoiding possible
deadlock
- Fix the spelling of company name HON HAI PRECISION" (obtained
from UEFI), avoiding a lintian message. Addresses issue #500
- Fix errors reported by clang 19: unused variable, expression
which evaluates to 0 treated as null pointer.
Addresses issue #502.
- Command getvcp --terse: Eliminate irrelevant messages
regarding VCP version not set.

OBS-URL: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/hardware/ddcutil?expand=0&rev=40
- Update to 2.2.0:
* ddcutil 2.2.0 is a major new release
* Detecting and reporting display connection and disconnection
has been reworked and enhanced, making libddcutil more useful
to applications such as KDE PowerDevil, vdu_controls, and
ddcutil-service.
* Other enhancements include :
- support for DisplayLink devices using driver evince
- more consistent and extensive use of the system log
- additional facilities for remote problem diagnosis
- changes in building, installation, and packaging
* And, of course, there's a year's accumulation of bug fixes
and minor enhancements.
* Shared library libddcutil is backwardly compatible with that
release 2.1.4. It contains some minor changes and additional
API functions for display change detection. The SONAME is
unchanged as libddcutil.so.5. The release library file is
libddcutil.so.5.2.0
* Detailed information about the changes can be found in file
CHANGELOG.md in the source tree, and on pages ddcutil 2.2.0
Release Notes and Shared Library Changes for Release 2.2.0
on the web site.
OBS-URL: https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/1279027
OBS-URL: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/hardware/ddcutil?expand=0&rev=36
- Update to 2.1.4:
* Restore previously deprecated API function
ddca_create_display_ref(), still in use. It is a synonym for
ddca_get_display_ref(), whose name better reflects the role of
the function. Its persistence in the Debian code base blocked
ddcutil upgrade in that distribution.
- Update to 2.1.3:
* Release 2.1.3 fixes a significant bug in libddcutil caused by
overzealous checking of the DDCA_Display_Reference passed to
various API functions. The display reference for displays
reported as invalid (typically one for which the EDID can be
read but DDC communication fails) was being rejected on API
functions such as ddca_get_display_info(). In particular
addresses ddcui issue 55 which reported a crash when one or
more displays were invalid.
- Update to 2.1.2:
* Release 2.1.2 fixes a critical bug in libddcutil that caused
older versions of PowerDevil to repeatedly crash and restart.
* Additionally, there are minor bug fixes and changes to
accommodate the proprietary Nvidia video driver.
- Update to 2.1.0:
* Improved initialization performance
* Dynamic sleep improvement
* Cross-instance locking
* Shared library libddcutil is backwardly compatible with the
one in ddcutil 2.0.0 The SONAME is unchanged as
libddcutil.so.5. The release library file is libddcutil.5.1.0
* libddcutil watches for display connection and DPMS state
changes and notifies clients.
* Improved control of initialization messages

OBS-URL: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/hardware/ddcutil?expand=0&rev=34
- update to 2.0.0:
* Most users will find that command ddcutil just works "out of the box",
without the need for manual configuration. Driver i2c-dev is loaded
automatically in case it was not already built into the kernel.
When executing on a system running systemd
(i.e. on almost every current Linux distribution)
the logged on user automatically has read-write access to the /dev/i2c devices associated with monitors,
making excution as root or set up of group I2C unnecessary.
* The dynamic sleep algorithm was completely rewritten to use the minimal reliable sleep-multiplier value.
Explicitly using option --sleep-multiplier to optimize performance should generally be unnecessary.
* The libddcutil API has been both extended and simplified.
Some necessary changes broke full backward compatibility,
requiring a SONAME bump from libddcutil.4 to libddcutil.5.
Given the necessary SONAME bump, the opportunity was taken for a major API cleanup.
Unneeded functions were removed, including many that were previously deprecated.
Most client programs should build with minimal changes.

OBS-URL: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/hardware/ddcutil?expand=0&rev=33
- Update to version 1.4.0:
+ The ability to use the write()/read() interface of i2c-dev has been restored.
It is needed to work around a bug in the proprietary nvidia driver. By
default, the write()/read() interface is used for the nvidia driver, the
ioctl() interface is used for all other drivers. Command line options
***--use-file-io*** and ***--use-ioctl-io*** affect his default behavior.
When i2c-dev's file io interface is used, option ***--force-slave-address***
is again meaningful.
+ Option ***--sleep-multiplier*** and API functions **ddca_set_sleep_multiplier_value()**,
**ddca_set_default_sleep_multiplier_value()** now accept 0 as a valid
argument.
+ The ddcutil command parser reports an error if a display selection option
(e.g. ***--bus***) is given on a command to which it does not apply.
+ Write additional error and information messages to the system log.
+ Eliminate message "Is DDC/CI enabled in the monitor's on-screen display?"
It's rarely the cause of communication failures.
+ Warn of a possibly invalid DRM connector name in **detect** output if
monitors with identical EDIDs are used with the proprietary nvidia driver.
+ Handle /dev/i2c device names with a double hyphen, e.g. /dev/i2c--3.
+ Better libddcutil handling of configuration file errors. Do not abort
initialization in case of errors.
+ Fix interpretation of digital display type bits for EDID version 1.4
+ Miscellaneous segfaults.

OBS-URL: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/hardware/ddcutil?expand=0&rev=27
- Update to version 1.3.0:
+ Option --force-slave-address no longer has any effect
+ 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
OBS-URL: https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/1034475
OBS-URL: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/hardware/ddcutil?expand=0&rev=25
- update to 1.2.1:
* User Defined Features, which have existed for some time, are now formally
available.
* Option --mccs now applies to getvcp, setvcp, and dumpvcp as well as vcpinfo.
* Workaround for EDID reading issu with recent kernels and i915/docking stations
* Configuration file ddcutilrc, located on the XDG config path (normally
$HOME/.config/ddcutil/ddcutilrc) is processed by both ddcutil and
libddcutil.
* Monitor capabilities strings are cached to improve performance of the
capabilities command.
* Partial workarounds for problems in DRM video drivers (e.g. i915, AMDGPU)
when monitors are connected to a docking station. The monitor may not be
detected (because no EDID is reported), or the monitor may appear as two
different /dev/i2c devices.
* When probing /dev/i2c devices for monitors, ddcutil could put AMD Navi2
devices (e.g. RX6000 series) into an inconsistent state. This is because
the devices expose an I2C devices for the SMU. Display detection is
modified to avoid probing these devices.
* Option -enable-capabilities-cache is now the default.
* Command ddcutil --verbose reports the raw EDID.
* Major events are written to the system log. These include starting,
stopping, and severe internal errors.
* Fix for github issue #178: Error detecting i2c-dev kernel module. The
checks are now performed using libkmod.
* libddcutil trace output can be redirected to a file.
* The shared library file name is libddcutil.so.4.1.0
OBS-URL: https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/941628
OBS-URL: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/hardware/ddcutil?expand=0&rev=20
- Fixes the so # in the devel package
- Update to ddcutil 0.9.8
* A new command line option, --sleep-multiplier, adjusts the time ddcutil
pauses between sending a request to the monitor and reading from the
monitor.
Many monitors work successfully with shorter sleep durations than required
by the DDC/CI specification, in which case ddcutil execution time can be
considerably reduced. On the other hand, some monitors having communication
difficulty may work with longer sleep durations than required by the DDC/CI
specification.
* A bug fix for the situation where certain mice would lock up during
display detection.
* libddcutil api break and move to v2
* The libddcutil shared library API has some minor extensions.
- cmake files installed to right location
- Update to ddcutil 0.9.7
* Fixed the cause of a segfault during display detection if a monitor
appearing to support the USB Monitor Control Class Specification, i.e. one
that uses USB to communicate monitor settings, is connected to the system.
* The release also contains some minor code cleanup.
- Update to ddcutil 0.9.6
* SONAME support is enabled for libddcutil.
* Other minor enhancements, bug fixes, and API changes.
- Update to ddcutil 0.9.5
* Feature x72 (Gamma)
Added support for Virtual Control Panel feature x72 (Gamma). This is
an unusual complex non-continuous feature in that its value can be
changed by the user, and the parenthesized "values" in the
capabilities string require special interpretation. The following
commands have been modified:
- ddcutil getvcp 72: Interpret the output
- ddcutil capabilities: Interpret the parenthesized "values" substring
- ddcutil setvcp: See below.
* Command setvcp
Can now take 2 byte values an an argument. Values can be specified as
hexadecimal (SH byte then SL) or as decimal (0..65535).
* Configuration and Diagnostics
Contrary to existing documentation, kernel module i2c_dev is in fact
required when using the proprietary Nvidia driver.
Kernel module documentation has been corrected, and command ddcutil
environment has been updated.
* Bug Fixes
Fix the cause of an assert failure when displaying the value of feature
x8F (Audio Treble) or x91 (Audio Bass).
* Monitor Quirks
Instead of setting the "unsupported feature" bit in the getvcp reply
packet for an unsupported feature, the Dell AW3418DW causes I2C failure
with Linux errno EIO. ddcutil now interprets the EIO response as
indicating an unsupported feature instead of reporting an error. This
special handling currently applies only to the Dell AW3418DW.
* Miscellaneous
Update file README.md and make it more usable as the github overview file.
* API Changes (see https://www.ddcutil.com/c_api_95/)
- Update to ddcutil 0.9.4
* Fix the cause of failure to build from source for the x32 ABI. The file
output by the dumpvcp command no longer contains a TIMESTAMP_MILLIS field,
the number of seconds since start of the machine epoch, typically
January 1, 1970. This field, and its companion TIMESTAMP_TEXT, are ignored
on input, so this change can only affect an external program that relies
on the TIMESTAMP_MILLIS field, say for sorting.
* Fix an execution failure that resulted from attempting to open an already
opened display. This occured on the capabilities command when the vcp
field in the string returned by the monitor was damaaged or missing,
causing ddcutil to attempt to read the VCP version from feature 0xDF.
* Features 0x59..0x5E (6 axis separation values). Report these values as
normal continuous (C) values instead of just uninterpreted bytes.
- Update to ddcutil 0.9.3
* Display Detection
Display detection no longer performs initial probes of I2C slave addresses
on each possible /dev/i2c device. These initial probes do not return valid
information on a Dell P2715Q, and have been seen to cause screen corruption
on Dell XPS 13 laptops. In addition, /dev/i2c devices for Synopsys
DesignWare are automatically skipped.
As a result of the changes to display detection, ddcutil detect --verbose
no longer reports the presence of slave addresses x30 (EDID block number)
or x37 (DDC), but does report whether a display is an Embedded Display
Port (eDP) device, which is the case for recent laptop displays. It also
reports the sysfs device name.
* User Supplied Feature Definitions
ddcutil internals have been extensively restructured for future support of
user supplied feature definitions. This will allow users to supply feature
definitions for manufacturer reserved features, i.e. those in the range
xe0..xff. While not yet ready for public use, there are a couple changes
already visible in the user interface
* Tracing
Added trace groups: UDF (user defined features), DDCIO (low level DDC
functions), VCP (feature metadata).
Because of the volume of output, trace group "DDC" has been split into DDC
and DDCIO, with the latter containing low level DDC services.
* API Changes
The C API has had a few changes to support user supplied feature
definitions and reflecting experience gained from work on the Qt C++ GUI
interface. See API Changes in Release 9.3
(https://www.ddcutil.com/c_api_93/) for details.
* Miscellaneous
Vebose output of the environment command now displays execution timestamps
to aid in interpreting system logs.
- 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.
- Use noun phrase in summary. Use preexisting macro for SUSE docdir.
- 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.
* The full list of changes can be read at

* The VCP file created by dumpvcp now includes a PRODUCT_CODE field including
the manufacturer product code from the EDID. For some manufacturers, the

- 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,
