This release brings new smart plugin with two actual plugin implementations: libatasmart (default) and smartmontools (experimental). Please check the smart plugin documentation for specifics and limitations.
Note to distributors: the default smart plugin is based on libatasmart and requires no extra dependencies. The smartmontools plugin needs a runtime dependency on 'smartctl' executable besides a json-glib-1.0 build dep. A path to drivedb.h database can be specified with the --with-drivedb option. The latter two features are mostly provided for testing.
