• Tore Anderson (25 Jul 26)

  create_pdf: use smartctl -x instead of -a smartctl -x/--xall gives additional information compared to what smartctl -a/--all does, including attributes like Percentage Used Endurance Indicator for SSDs - which is very useful to have if re-selling a used drive with the nwipe report included. The -x/--xall option was added to smartmontools in version 5.39, released 2009-12-09, so it should be safe to assume that it is supported on all modern distros by now.

  Merge pull request #778 from PartialVolume/add-wipe-direction-to-PDFs Miscellaneous, tidy up, direction suffix (S) (R) on PDF after method type.

• PartialVolume (15 Jul 26)

  Miscellaneous, tidy up, direction on PDF 1. Removed some commented out code that was no longer required. 2. Added Scatter (S) and Reverse (R) suffix to the method field on both types of PDF report. 3. Shifted Throughput value right on both PDF reports to accommodate 4 digit throughput values as would be seen with NVMe drives, i.e 3100 MB/s. Prior to this fix the value put overlap the 'Throughput;' label.

  Merge pull request #777 from PartialVolume/add-speed-profile-4 Add speed profile 4

• PartialVolume (14 Jul 26)

  Tidy up of edge cases for speed profile graph For short duration wipes < 10 seconds that complete correctly just draw a flat line that represents average duration. This is really to take care of loop devices. Also validate the dataset and check the data is reasonable, i.e >= 0.0 and < 150000000000.0 (150GB) Currently fastest burst NVMe drives are 15GB/s so have allowed 10 times current speeds. If drive speeds should ever get close to 150GB/s then MAX_LIMIT will need to be increased.

  Merge pull request #773 from PartialVolume/add-pdf-graph-function Initial creation of PDF graph function

• PartialVolume (08 Jul 26)

  Initial creation of PDF graph function Initial work on a graph function that creates a line graph from two datasets, min and max throughput speed. This graph will show a disks speed profile over the full erasure of the disk. The inclusion of a speed profile is to highlight disk failures where the disks speed will slow significantly but the disk may not report I/O errors and may not be obvious in the smart data. Further details to follow on a subsequent commit. Integration into the PDF creation functions and creation of the datasets to follow. This function was created using Gemini AI, with modifications and testing by @PartialVolume.

  Merge pull request #767 from PartialVolume/add-external-logo-file feat: Allow external logo.jpg for PDFs

• PartialVolume (07 Jun 26)

  feat: Allow external logo.jpg for PDFs The user can now replace the nwipe logo that's located top left of both the disc and system PDF certificates. Simply copy a file named logo.jpg into /etc/nwipe/ To keep the file size as small as possible, while allowing the logo to look sufficently sharp, it's recommended you scale your logo's to 256x256 300dpi using gimp or your preferred image editor. If no logo.jpg is found in /etc/nwipe then nwipe will display it's standard embedded logo.

• PartialVolume (06 Jun 26)

  Feat: Add page n of n on system report I added page n of n, located bottom right in the footer of each page on the system report. I also made the font for the footer text "Disc Erasure by Nwipe v0.xx" consistent as prior to this patch the font was changing between pages.
