Version 2.10 of dmidecode has just been released. It supports the version 2.6 of the SMBIOS specification, which includes new enumerated values for recent hardware, as well as bus address for system slots and a new entry type for on-board devices. The possibility to dump the SMBIOS table to a small binary file, and to read the SMBIOS table back from such binary files, has been added.

Version 2.9 of dmidecode has just been released. It supports the version 2.5 of the SMBIOS specification, which includes new enumerated values for recent hardware, as well as CPU core and thread count reporting. Some HP-specific entries are now decoded. The support of Intel-based Macintosh and IA-64 machines was improved.
Note that the product name lookup table that was included in vpddecode has been dropped, because it was unreliable and hard to maintain.

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.

I plan to release dmidecode 2.7 by the beginning of August, in two weeks or so. I would appreciate if people good give some testing to the current CVS so as to make sure I did not introduce any regression since the previous release. The most significant improvement is the new, complete command line interface.
