SMBIOS 2.6.0 is now supported. The previous release supported 2.4.0 features.

CPU Core and Thread count is now reported for Intel and AMD CPU's as attributes CoreCount and ThreadCount.

Improved SMBIOS device handling. Hardware devices discovered via SMBIOS are more tightly aligned and automatically intergrated with devices discovered via other means. This should result in fewer duplicate devices and increased attribute reporting for devices discovered via both SMBIOS and other means.

Additional Monitor hardware capability data is now included. The additional attributes are MinVerRefresh, MaxVerRefresh, MinHorRefresh, MaxHorRefresh, and MaxPixelClock.

Increased stability from a major overall of how Class data is handled internally should continue to make SysInfo™ one of the most stable asset and configuration agents available.
