 ================================================================================
+Version: 3.3.14
+Patch: 00
+Date: 2022-03-24
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+RELEASE NOTES:
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+New version, man. Continuing development of EDID and monitor features, bug 
+fixes, normal fixes. 
+
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+KNOWN ISSUES:
+
+1. Failed to handle case for monitor positions of array type: 2-2, 3-1, 1-3, 
+4-4. I'm not sure what structure those are really arranged in, but might be 
+worth adding in the x+y pos values along with the row-col values.
+
+2. For Monitors and graphics Device ports, if using non free nvidia driver and:
+nvidia-drm.modeset=1 not set in grub kernel boot parameters, there will be no
+/sys/class/drm data for the nvidia device, and thus no ports data, and no 
+monitor data. 
+
+3. A class of high count DP or DVI port IDs are changed by Xorg drivers to for
+example: DP-6 > DP-2-3. This is very difficult to handle and will in general 
+probably fail unfortunately because that level of port ID abstraction is just
+reazlly hard to deal with dynamically.
+
+4. A to-do item: add bus ID children on --slots. This will probablby be in next 
+inxi.
+
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+BUGS:
+
+1. None outside of the various fixes.
+
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+FIXES:
+
+1. In sensors, failed to pull out BAT sensor data. In most cases, this would not
+lead to any issues, but it could have.
+
+2. This one just slipped my mind, I'd meant to do it, but in Montitor-x:, the
+primary ID should have been the 'real' kernel ID, not the mapped: ID, which is 
+the X.org ID when different from the kernel ID. So mapped should be the Xorg 
+version when they are different from the kernel version.
+
+3. In Graphics, monitors can show > 1 ratio, failed to set all to :, resulting
+in: ratio: 3:2 or 16/10 modes:. Also fixed ParseEDID to output an array of 
+ratios, which can then be processed as wanted.
+
+4. Monitor map fixes:
+* Handle case in monitors where display ID: eDP and sys ID: eDP-1, this only 
+works if 1 monitor in array. There's a variety of this type of failure, when 
+X.org or its drivers decide to call the port ID XYZ with no number at all. All 
+those possible cases are now handled, like eDP > eDP-1, VGA > VGA-1, and so on.
+
+* Added fallback, if no match, and if only 1 monitor, just map them to eachother
+if other mappings failed. Prompted by things like: s: DP-6 > d: DP-2-3; 
+s: eDP-1 > d: DP-4, which are just impossible to create logic to map.
+
+5. Removed 'ati' driver from xorg drivers list, it's simply a wrapper for r128, 
+mach64, or radeon (and maybe amdgpu), and shows as failed, unloaded, or loaded, 
+because of this. ati basically assigns the correct driver, that is, but is not 
+itself a driver. Thanks mrmazda for spotting this issue.
+
+6. Typo on QDI => Quantum Data.
+
+7. Added fallback for monitor model, now using vendor code plus product code 
+if nothing found for vendor nice name or model. This will show as 'model-id:'
+instead of model: to help differentiate the two.
+
+8. Added Monitor product_code to manufacturer if no model name is found.
+
+9. get_pci_vendor was trimming at ' / ' if the product string also contained 
+' / '. Fix is to ignore 1 character 'words' in the logic.
+
+10. In Slots, failed to remove_duplicates in the slot info field, leading to 
+redundant output strings. See Enhancement 3 and Code 4.
+
+11. See Change 3, finally made -S section use full key: value pair, which makes
+stuff more explicit, like:
+
+System:
+  Host: yawn
+  Kernel: 5.16.0-11.1-liquorix-amd64
+    arch: x86_64
+    bits: 64
+    compiler: gcc
+      v: 11.2.0
+  Desktop: Xfce
+    v: 4.16.0
+    tk: Gtk
+      v: 3.24.24
+    info: xfce4-panel
+    wm: xfwm
+      v: 4.16.1
+    vt: 7
+    dm:
+      1: LightDM
+        v: 1.26.0
+      2: SDDM
+        note: stopped
+  Distro: Debian GNU/Linux bookworm/sid
+
+12. Fix for mageia and lsb distro data, force use of os-release for mageia if
+detected. That overrides the forced use of lsb release for mandrake/mandriva,
+because for some reason mageia has decided to carry ALL the legacy distro files:
+'/etc/lsb-release',
+'/etc/lsb-release.d',
+'/etc/mageia-release',
+'/etc/mandrake-release',
+'/etc/mandrakelinux-release',
+'/etc/mandriva-release',
+'/etc/os-release',
+'/etc/redhat-release',
+'/etc/system-release'
+which is really not what this stuff is intended for, if it's an actual derived 
+distro from a living base, then yes, include the base file, but all these have
+the same distro id data for mageia, none for the derived distros.
+
+Also, fixed an lsb release thing to avoid using codename if codename contains 
+release number as well. Since lsb_release is totally legacy at this point, who
+cares if we might miss a specific codename here and there on legacy system.
+
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+ENHANCEMENTS:
+
+1. Added Color Characteristics to EDID parser, for some reason that had been 
+left out. 
+
+2. Added advanced EDID output option --edid, that allows for showing more 
+advanced EDID data than is appropriate for most users cases. Ihcludes errors,
+color characteristics chroma: (chromacity), full modes, not just min/max.
+
+3. In --slots, added bus-ID. 
+
+Also extended report quality, made more granular, got rid of single blob from
+Type and Designation and now get more accurate and useful data. 
+
+4. In cases with > 1 DM, check to see if one or more are stopped or disabled, =
+and add (stopped) if it was detected in running service as stopped.
+
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+CHANGES:
+
+1. Reversed monitor ID and mapped: ID values, that was a mistake, the mapped: 
+item was supposed to contain the X.org mapped name, and the primary ID was 
+supposed to be the actual real ID the kernel uses. Not a huge deal either way,
+but there it is.
+
+2. Include disabled but connected Monitors. This works around nvidia bug showing
+monitors disabled when they are enabled, but also allows for showing connected 
+monitors, though without as much data.
+
+3. Made the last holdout -S > -Sa use strict full key: value pair output, like
+Desktop: XFCE v: 4.14.12 and so on.
+
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+DOCUMENTATION:
+
+1. Added help/man for --edid info.
+
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+CODE:
+
+1. In ParseEDID: made new key: edid_error, which contains an array ref of 1 or
+more edid errors. The previous version did a poor job and returned only the 
+first error found, so there could have been > 1 error, and you'd never know it.
+
+This changes check_parsed_edid to _check_parsed_edid(). and adds a utility tool
+_edid_error, which grabs the message from main::message, giving better output 
+integration.
+
+This also allows for future error handling expansion quite easily.
+
+2. In map_monitor_ids() fixed matching pattern, made more robust and explicit,
+to catch things like s: eDP-1 d: eDP or eDP-1-1, both have been seen. Also added
+fallback for single monitor, just map them to eachother if mapping failed.
+
+3. get_pci_vendor() added test for using anything that is 1 character length,
+to not break on 1 character length string matches.
+
+4. Fully refactored --slots, that was originally written purely as a proof of
+concept in terms of adding a new feature during the original inxi 2.9 rewrite,
+and was never actually touched after that.
