+Version: 3.3.40
+Patch: 00
+Date: 2025-11-25
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+RELEASE NOTES:
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+This is a quick release to get the bug fix out.
+
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+SPECIAL THANKS:
+
+1. Codeberg user wonky issue #347 for reporting the break of --output-file 
+option in 3.3.39.
+
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+KNOWN ISSUES:
+
+1a. CPU: cpu_arch: impossible to determine with available data what pentium 4
+model 6, stepping 5 really is.
+
+1b. CPU: dmi table reports wrong socket for Intel pentium 4 cpu, but no way to
+correct that, oh well.
+
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+BUGS:
+
+1. OPTIONS: Accidentally copied the --output handler to the --output-file
+handler, which breaks --output-file completely of course. Since this completely
+breaks functionality of --output this is an urgent bug fix.
+
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+FIXES:
+
+1. MACHINE: Corrected use of a value for field name with BIOS/UEFI etc. 
+Now correctly shows: 
+  Firmware: BIOS
+    vendor: American Megatrends LLC.
+    v: F62d
+    date: 10/13/2021
+
+This has been wrong for a long time, the rule for inxi is that field names are
+not values, but that rule was violated in this case. Thanks mrmazda for noticing
+that.
+
+1. OPTIONS: Going along with Bug 1, there was a missing default for setting 
+$output_file to 'print' automatically when type 'screen' was used. But that 
+basically just completely restores default inxi output behaviors.
+
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+UPDATES:
+
+1a. CPU: cpu_arch: new data, AMD family BF model 80 is Zen 6, that was not 
+assigned so would fall back to default Zen 5.
+
+1b. CPU: cpu_arch: old data, thanks mrmazda, Pentium 4, family 15, model 6, 
+stepping 5 is 45nm, and thus 2008 generation, not 65nm and 2006. However Intel
+very typically used the same model/stepping for 65nm, so no way to know. I 
+didn't realize their absurd use of family/model/stepping reached back this far.
+
+Added comments to indicate this, but since we can't know which is which, can't
+really change anything.
+
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+ENHANCEMENTS:
+
+None.
+
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+CHANGES:
+
+None.
+
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+DOCUMENTATION:
+
+1. OPTIONS/MAN: --output-file/--output: cleaned up docs, made it more clear what
+the screen and print options actually do.
+
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+CODE:
+
+Nothing worth mentioning beyond the bad copy paste bug fix for bug 1..
