liquidctl/liquidctl v1.5.0

liquidctl v1.5.0

on GitHub

Released 27 January 2021.

Note for Linux package maintainers

This release introduces a new dependency, Python 'smbus' (from the i2c-tools project); additionally, since trying to access I²C/SMBus devices without having the i2c-dev kernel module loaded will result in errors, extra/linux/modules-load.conf is provided as a suggestion; finally, extra/linux/71-liquidctl.rules will now (as provided) give unprivileged access to i801_smbus adapters.
