Fwupd 2.0.1 Adds API to Allow GNOME Firmware to Record Devices for Emulation
Coming just ten days after fwupd 2.0, the fwupd 2.0.1 release adds an API to allow the GNOME Firmware graphical frontend to record devices for emulation, as well as support for saving the emulation-tag devices to the database instead of the configuration file.
fwupd 2.0.1 also adds support to allow system integrators to control the libdrm dependency when building fwupd from sources, converts the wacom-raw device command buffers and the wacom-usb descriptor to Rust format, and simplifies firmware loading from a specific offset.
