Following his recent [1]PremDay talk on LVFS/Fwupd , Richard Hughes of Red Hat today released Fwupd 2.0.9 as the newest feature release for this open-source firmware updating utility for Linux systems.

Fwupd 2.0.9 brings documentation improvements, a number of bug fixes, and other minor items... Most exciting though is adding support for firmware updating on the Intel Arc B-Series "Battlemage" graphics cards. The newest Intel Battlemage graphics cards like the [2]B570 and [3]B580 can now enjoy firmware updates to be applied under Linux.

For those not yet on the Fwupd 2.0 series, also out today is [5]Fwupd 1.9.30 with various bug fixes.
