Small release with just 3 changes worth mentioning. From the NEWS file:
- New features:
- kmod tool started to learn the "insert" and "remove" commands that
are the simplified versions of the older modprobe tool. These
commands are still work in progress so they are hidden behind a
--enable-experimental flag during build. It should not be enabled
unless you know what you're doing.
- kmod tool now prints the relevant configuration options it was built
with when the "--version" argument is passed. This helps to mitigate
problems for example when the user is trying to load a compressed
module but kmod was built without support for the compression method.
- Improvements to testsuite:
- Cache built modules so it is easier to run "make check" on build
servers by distro maintainers. If kmod is configured with
--disable-test-modules the modules from cache will be used by
"make check". No changes to the tests are needed and all of them
can run fine.
