  - Option --string has four additional keywords available:
Packit Service e18529
    system-uuid, chassis-type, processor-family and processor-frequency.
Packit Service e18529
    These needed additional work because, technically speaking, they are
Packit Service e18529
    not DMI strings.

  - (vpddecode) 9 product names were added to the lookup table.

Packit Service e18529
Packit Service e18529
Version 2.7 (Thu Aug 04 2005)
Packit Service e18529
  - New command line interface. For example, it is now possible to limit
Packit Service e18529
    the output of dmidecode to a given DMI type, or to extract a single
Packit Service e18529
    string from the DMI table. The documentation has been updated
Packit Service e18529
    accordingly.
Packit Service e18529
  - The default output of dmidecode was slightly modified to be more
Packit Service e18529
    easily readable by humans. This might break tools parsing its output.
Packit Service e18529
    Such tools may benefit from the new command line interface, although
Packit Service e18529
    this interface shouldn't be considered stable until version 2.8.
