Release Notes

v1.0.5 - August 05, 2025


[Improvement] Optimize fwlist performance

  • Improved fwlist to substantially reduce the time required for retrieving firmware information from the specified server

[Improvement] Add checks for fwget/fwlist configurations and input commands

  • Improved the stability and responsiveness of fwget and fwlist by adding early validation for configurations and input commands
  • This change helps catch issues sooner, reducing delays and minimizing the chance of errors during execution

[Improvement] Enhance reliability and security

  • Added network operation timeouts to prevent hanging connections
  • Refactored codebase to enhance stability and maintainability, resolving issues including shadowed built-in names, inconsistent indentation, and unsafe exception handling, etc.

[New] fwlist supports using environment proxy settings

  • When "ilo_proxy" is set to "yes", fwlist will use the proxy settings defined in the environment variables (HTTP_PROXY, HTTPS_PROXY) to access the specified server

[New] Add version check argument for fwget/fwlist

  • Allow users to easily check the current version installed on the system

v1.0.4 - March 10, 2025


[New] Automatically download JSON metadata alongside fwpkg packages (Gen12 SPP+)

  • To support the firmware metadata decoupled from the fwpkg, when downloading firmware packages (.fwpkg), the corresponding JSON metadata file is now automatically downloaded

[New] Add fwlist support to discover and export local server firmware information

  • Through the results retrieved from the server, users can identify which firmware should be used for their devices
  • Supports both spaced and JSON display formats
