Fwupd 2.0.11 Released with New SELinux Metadata Support
Two weeks after its previous 2.0.10 release, Fwupd, an open-source utility designed to make updating firmware on Linux-based systems easier and more automatic, rolled out its new 2.0.11 version.
One of the standout additions in fwupd 2.0.11 is the new check-reboot-needed command. This feature is designed for integration into automation scripts, allowing system administrators or update tools to programmatically determine whether a reboot is required after applying firmware updates.
Consequently, installers and management frameworks can more accurately orchestrate post-update procedures without ad hoc checks. Additionally, the release now reads the SELinux state within the report-failure metadata.
