Scope

Changelog

Seda's Enhancements 2024 Changelog
Released on January 3rd 2024

Version	Changes	Additions	Removals	Notes
20240107	(seda-getmedia) Workaround for some web sites. (seda-variables) Fix for single-disk systems, such as laptops	No new components	No component removals	No additional upgrade steps required
20240103	(all) Major update, all scripts changed or cleaned up for this release. As this is a major release, it will reset your wallpaper. Certain tools that SE depends on are now pulled from Debian sources rather than bundled or downloaded from outside repositories. (conky) Now shows the systems Internet Protocol version 6 address. (guide) All-new Guidebook designed to be far more useful. (seda-install) Now hardens the security configuration by default, enables TRIM for Solid State Drives, hardens directory permissions, increases password hashing complexity, and hardens compiler permissions. These are non-invasive security protection measures. (seda-swi) Gamemode support has been removed; the additional heat and power consumption hasn't proven worth it. This may result in a performance drop in certain games; it can be manually reenabled on a per-game basis	(seda-address) New script identifies the systems local IPv6 address and updates an entry in ~/.ssh/config.d/systems/; you can also use it to enable a cronjob to create a SSH host entry. (seda-variables) New script sets variables so that other scripts don't have to be updated every time a global variable changes. This also provides a new SedaTag instead of the old BogoMIPS variable for scripts to identify themselves when running in a shell	No component removals	A system reboot is required

Notes

While SE2024 looks similar to SE2023, it is very different and scripts from the two versions can't mix when using clustering features.
