Changelog

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

Date	Version	Changes	Fixes	Notes
3 Jan 2024	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	None	A system reboot is required
7 Jan 2024	20240107	(seda-getmedia) Workaround for some web sites. (seda-variables) Fix for single-disk systems, such as laptops	None	No additional upgrade steps required
11 Jan 2024	20240111	None	Bugfixes on : Steam being open will no longer tank the performance of games or applications running in Wine, such as Battle.Net Firefox will no longer tank the performance of Wine or Steam.	No additional upgrade steps required
12 Jan 2024	20240112	(seda-getmedia) Improved media source identification to enable broader compatibility with more sites.	None	No additional upgrade steps required
17 Jan 2024	20240117	None	Fixed bug where a system with a name starting with A, E, I, O, or U might create a duplicate media folder on a non-existent volume and fail to copy discs.	Update if you are affected and don't already have a fixed version.

Notes

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