SysInfo DLL SDK v1.0 (1026)
Released: Jul 17, 2012
Updates in v1.0 (1026)
- 2 new SysInfo functions added: SysInfoDll_Smart_GetPhysicalDeviceIDFirst() and SysInfoDll_Smart_GetPhysicalDeviceIDNext()
- System information updates for new Intel and AMD CPUs.
- Reduced the CPU information collection time on very slow CPUs.
- Removed SysInfoDll_UnallocatedClusters.
- Workaround for the AMD Llano (12h series) CPU for determining over-clocked CPU frequencies.
- DirectIO.sys updated to version 10 to allow the DIRECTIO driver service to be named by the User application.
- System information updates for new Intel and AMD CPUs.
- Improved Disk partition detection for FAT32 and FAT16 when there is no partition table, just a Master Boot record (e.g. an image file).
- Temperature monitoring added for newer Intel and AMD CPUs.
- Partition type strings added for many types of partitions.
- Correction to the detection of the total number of sectors for FAT volumes.
- Added DDR3 SPD version 1.1 detection.
- Improved the physical Disk drive system information when used on WinPE.
- Correction to SSD drive indicator when used on WinPE.
- Corrected a crash bug when collected GPT partition information on a system with more than 1 GPT partition.
- Collecting Partition information and SMART data has been threaded so that any delay in a drive responding can be managed.
- Added Hot plugable drive indicator.
- Linked to nVIDIA temperature libraries.
- Network adapter MAC address now retrieved with WMI information.
- Windows 8 developer preview supported.
- CPU SysInfo corrections for systems with more than 64 CPUs.
- Minor improvement to Serial port information when run on WinPE.
- Added support for executing disk self tests (if implemented by the drive).
- SysInfo now attempts to issue SMART commands regardless if SMART enable failed.
- The SysInfo partition functions now return all volumes, regardless of whether or not they contain an NTFS/FAT file system.
- New AMD CPU (APU) System Information included.
- Correction for Intel Core 2 CPU temperature information.
- Reduced the time to measure the maximum frequency of newer Intel CPUs.
- System information summary now displays SSD's separately from HDD's.
- New Video Card system information added.
- Corrected the Video card chip type description where gibberish could be displayed after the description string.
- Additional System Information debug level logging added.
- SMART commands are now issued to the disk regardless of if SMART enable failed.
- Fixed issue with unformatted drives reporting the same capacity.
- Reduced the timeout for detecting SMART on USB drives.
- SPD memory reports changed such that invalid year and week dates are not included in the reports.
- A minimize CPU information collection API is now available.
- Improved the detection of the number of CPU cores when the "CPUID limit" BIOS setting is enabled not the normal setting).
- Partition information for Basic GPT disks now included, this includes support for disk partitions greater than 2TB.
- Updates for Sandy Bridge CPU information.
- System information Graphic card naming updates.
- Corrected the reporting of the CPU speed measurements for over clocked Intel Core 2 CPU's.
- VIA CPU model names now reported.
- Correction to RAM module information if SMBUS RAM information is not available.
- Included Disk Partition information functions and the unallocated cluster class.
- Added new APIs for retrieving memory SPD information
