Changed

  • smfc-client --help and its documentation (README, man page) rewritten in plain, user-facing language.
  • auto platform detection now also matches BMC product names starting with H14 (not just X14), selecting generic_x14.
  • Docker images are now built on pinned base images (alpine:3.24.1, debian:13.6-slim, rocm/dev-ubuntu-24.04:7.14.0-full) instead of floating tags, so a rebuild always produces the same base. The ROCm version of the AMD image is now visible in Docker.md.
  • The obsolete version: "2" attribute was removed from all docker compose files and from the compose samples in Docker.md; it has been ignored by Docker Compose V2 and only produced a warning on every start.

Fixed

  • X9 fan duty readback scaling (generic_x9 platform): get_fan_level() returned the raw 0-255 BMC byte as if it were a percentage, so smfc-client displayed values like 242% for a real 95% duty cycle and CONST controllers kept re-applying an already-correct level. The readback is now converted back to the 0-100 percent platform contract - based on PR #117 by @krecik, validated on a Supermicro X9DR3-LN4F+ (BMC 3.48).
  • The same fan duty readback scaling issue was found and fixed on the X10QBi platform: set_fan_level() writes the duty cycle on the NCT7904D 0-255 scale, but get_fan_level() returned the raw byte as a percentage (100% duty was reported as 255%). This fix is based on the datasheet and on the symmetry with the write path, it is not validated on real hardware yet - X10QBi owners, please share your experience in issue #69.
  • NVIDIA Docker image (-nvidia) failed to start under the NVIDIA Container Toolkit with mkdirat run/nvidia-ctk-hook: read-only file system, because the wide /run:/run:ro bind mount shadowed the container's writable /run and blocked the toolkit's createContainer hook. All Docker examples (compose files, docker run scripts, Docker.md) now bind-mount only /run/udev:/run/udev:ro — all smfc needs there is the udev database for pyudev — which leaves /run writable. See issue #107.
