v0.8.1-pl7

GUI

• Ported to Qt6 (#62)
• Error scanning tab: add zoom/scale widgets, current read speed, mouse tooltips, vertical line + values on graph following the mouse
• Add a screenshot button
• Add a Console window to view the raw qscan logs, and optionally save them to a text file
• Add preferences about new Console window and an option to enable verbose mode in qscan invocations
• Fixed the stop button which didn't always work
• Fix an occasional crash after clicking "rescan bus"
• Show sidebar by default on new installs
• When starting tests, automatically switch to the result window of the first running test
• Auto-fill the test name with a sane default value to avoid forcing the user to fill it
• Force monospace font on the Media window
• Add a notice to the Linux users about potential root requirement (#55) (#41) (#17)
• Switch to the Console tab when qscan errors out
• Don't display the scan error messagebox when the user intentionally clicks the Stop button

Qscan (scan engine / CLI)

• Add the --force-probe qscan option and GUI checkbox to ignore all hardcoded vendor/model information in plugins and probe the drive with all of them
• Add the --hldtst-test-mode qscan option and GUI checkbox to enable error scanning on some LG drives (see #64)
• Add the --liteon-force-old qscan option and GUI checkbox for enable usage of old errc commands (previously hidden behind and envvar switch)
• More resilient media information scanning when drive is busy (#50)
• Allow qscan probing to return more than one compatible plugin (use the first one in autodetect mode)
• BD errc: avoid double-counting stats when same LBA is reported by drive

Pakaging

• Linux AppImage build using new libfuse version to be able to work on recent distros
• AppImage: support running the other bundled programs (qscan, etc.) instead of the GUI
• AppImage: display help about the CLI tools if no X server is found

v0.8.1 patchlevel 1

Merge changes from the latest upstream version (0.8.1).

Note that most of the changes between upstream 0.8.0 and 0.8.1 were already in our previous version, so no user-visible change is to be expected between our 0.8.0-pl4 and 0.8.1-pl1. This is mainly to ensure we release synced with upstream code.

• win64-release.zip: portable Windows XP+ binary (64 bits)
