Work 5.3.3 (Linux) / 5.3.1 (macOS) (Release Date: 20.08.24)

Improvements:

• Fallback Mechanism: Extended the fallback mechanism to support a wider range of devices, further enhancing compatibility and reliability across different hardware.

• CPU Clock Storage: Now records MHz values for CPU clocks on both Apple and PC devices, providing more detailed and accurate hardware information.

• UI Enhancements: Implemented several improvements to the user interface, making it more intuitive and enhancing the overall user experience.

• Diagnose: Improved the memory diagnostic process to increase the detection rate of faulty memory, ensuring more accurate hardware assessments.

• Asset Check: Introduced a new functionality that allows users to check and register an asset and upload its information without needing to perform a full diagnose or erasure.

• Offline Licenses: Added the expiration date alongside license information for offline licenses, giving users better visibility into their license status.

• macOS Specific Improvements:

  • Show Diagnose TouchBar-Test only if the TouchBar is physically available.

  • Offer manual external test of TouchBar for macOS versions Sonoma and newer.

Known Issues

• None

Work 5.1.19 (Release Date: 09.04.24)

Improvements:

• Fallback Mechanism: Implementation of a fallback procedure that resorts to standard commands for erasure when modern SCSI commands are not supported by the storage device. This update is crucial for preventing immediate erasure failures and ensuring a seamless erasure process

• BlockSize Detection: Enhanced the BlockSize detection algorithm, optimizing the erasure speed and efficiency across various storage devices.

• Parallel Erasure Limitation: A new functionality has been introduced to control the number of storage devices being erased concurrently. The system defaults to a maximum of 10 parallel erasures to maintain stability and time efficiency. Operators can adjust this setting on the fly through Work Settings (F9). It’s important to note that lowering the parallel erasure limit during an ongoing process will not pause current erasures but will limit the number of new erasures initiated.

...

• Asset-Tag Notifications: The frequency of Asset-Tag removal notifications has been significantly reduced to avoid unnecessary alerts and streamline the user experience.

Known Issues

• None

Work 5.1.15 (Release Date: 24.03.24)

...

• Offline Usage Fixes:

  • Resolved reporting issues encountered during offline use.

  • Expanded the erasure method list for greater detail and accuracy in reporting.

  • Adjusted the report generation to show the correct and full erasure method name, providing clearer and more informative reports.

  • Improved filename of offline PDF, JSON and XML files to be compatible also with FAT32 storages.

• SKU Building:

  • Fixed representation of tag “RAM” in SKU

Known Issues

• None

Work 5.0.5 (Release Date: 30.01.24)
