Full Changelog: https://github.com/ashaduri/gsmartcontrol/commits/v1.1.4

• Fixed gsmartcontrol-root not passing GDK_SCALE and GDK_DPI_SCALE variables to gsmartcontrol when using PolKit.
• Fixed blurriness of icons in the main window with GDK_SCALE=2.
• Tweaked the main window interface.
• Windows: Show volume labels beside drive letters in icon tooltips.

• Moved help information to website.

• New Statistics, Temperature Log, Error Recovery, Physical and Directory tabs.
• General tab shows non-SMART device settings as well.
• Attributes tab shows entries in "brief" format.
• Error Log tab shows Extended error log by default (if supported).
• Self-Test Log tab now shows Extended self-test log by default (if supported).

• Beesu and su-to-root are supported by gsmartcontrol-root script now.
• Completely revamped the attribute database and its handling, should be a lot more usable and forward-compatible now; SSD attributes are also included.

• The supplied icon (hopefully) shows correctly in Windows 2000 now.
• This release adds an official support for Windows 2000 SP4.
• Added scripts to allow GSmartControl to read smartctl data from cron-generated files. This allows users to read somewhat recent smartctl information without having to run GSmartControl as root. Generously contributed by Alex Butcher.
• Configure script correctly aborts instead of printing a warning if gtkmm or libglademm (if needed) is not found.
• Configure script now accepts --enable-windows-console, --disable-abort-if-no-gtkmm, --disable-abort-if-no-glade-reader, as well as Windows-supporting "auto" for --enable-nsis-wine and --with-nsis.

  • No segfault on exit under Windows and Solaris.
  • A friendlier message is displayed if smartctl was not found.

• Added an icon and resource file for Windows.
• Fixed minor bugs.
