    types, and new memory device types.
  - Support for the new 64-bit entry point (_SM3_) defined in SMBIOS 3.0.

Version 2.12 (Wed Apr 17 2013)
  - Support of the SMBIOS 2.8.0 specification.

  - Support of the SMBIOS 2.7.0 specification:
    - UEFI support
    - Virtual machine flags in BIOS characteristics
    - Limited support for the Management Controller Host Interface
  - Various fixes that address stability.

Version 2.10 (Sun Nov 23 2008)
  - Support for Solaris (x86 only, of course).
  - Possibility to dump the SMBIOS/DMI table to a small binary file
    (option --dump-bin).
  - Possibility to read the SMBIOS/DMI table from such binary files
    (option --from-dump).
  - Support for SMBIOS 2.6. This includes new chassis types, new
    processor family names, new processor family upgrade names, bus
    address for system slots, and a new entry type for on-board devices,
    amongst many other minor changes.

    values for recent hardware, as well as CPU core and thread count
    reporting.
  - Decoding of 3 HP-specific entries. More vendor-specific entries can
    be supported later if vendors contribute code or documentation.
  - Run-time detection of EFI, so that a single binary can support
    Intel-based Macintosh machines and regular x86 machines.
  - Better IA-64 support.
  - Fixes to the decoding of individual fields, including the CPU
    signature of recent CPU models.
  - (biosdecode) Support of the FJKEYINF entry point type (for Fujitsu laptops).

Version 2.8 (Sat Feb 04 2006)
  - Option --string has four additional keywords available:
    system-uuid, chassis-type, processor-family and processor-frequency.
    These needed additional work because, technically speaking, they are
    not DMI strings.
  - IPMI interface type SSIF was added. This is a new interface type
    defined by IPMI 2.0.
  - (vpddecode) New --string option, much similar in spirit to
    dmidecode's. Available keywords are bios-build-id, box-serial-number,
    motherboard-serial-number, machine-type-model and bios-release-date.
  - (vpddecode) 9 product names were added to the lookup table.
  -  A few bug fixes, cleanups and minor improvements all around the place.

Version 2.7 (Thu Aug 04 2005)
  - New command line interface. For example, it is now possible to limit
    the output of dmidecode to a given DMI type, or to extract a single
    string from the DMI table. The documentation has been updated
    accordingly.
  - The default output of dmidecode was slightly modified to be more
    easily readable by humans. This might break tools parsing its output.
    Such tools may benefit from the new command line interface, although
    this interface shouldn't be considered stable until version 2.8.
  - (vpddecode) New command line interface.
  - (vpddecode) 6 product names were added.
