Richard Hughes of Red Hat just released Fwupd 2.0.12 as the newest version of this open-source firmware updating utility that pairs with the Linux Vendor Firmware Service (LVFS) for a nice Linux system/device firmware updating experience.

Building off the Intel Arc B-Series "Battlemage" support in prior Fwupd releases, Fwupd 2.0.12 adds support for firmware updates on additional Intel Arc Battlemage graphics cards. Fwupd 2.0.12 also supports firmware updates for more Foxconn 5G modems. Additionally, the HP Portable USB-C Hub can now support firmware updates via Fwupd/LVFS.

Fwupd 2.0.12 also adds a new configuration option for enforcing immutable device enumeration, device emulation support for Thunderbolt host controllers, support for loading multiple coSWID blocks from PE files, and a number of bug fixes. There are quite a range of bug fixes in Fwupd 2.0.12 from addressing firmware update issues with different devices to general fixes to this firmware updating utility itself.
