Yes, I know that. But when looking for one particular change, the VCS
is much more useful. I'll ask hdparm author.

But that also means that not many users care about TRIM, right? :)

hdparm-9.30
 - report word[105] in -I :  max 512-byte blocks of range-data per DSM/Trim
command
 - fix wiper.sh/hdparm to use only as many LBA ranges per TRIM as the drive can
handle
 - manpage / help-text cleanups from Benno Schulenberg <bensberg@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
hdparm-9.29
 - add --offset for use with -t, to get timings from middle/end of drive,
   courtesy of Sergei Kirjanov <rewlad@xxxxxxxxx>
 - restrict --trim-sector-ranges-stdin to small TRIM commands on most drives
 - fix w62 bug in -I
 - dump all data bytes with --verbose
 - warn about bad/missing sense data, but continue regardless
 - show in/out data[] separately with --verbose
 - Add reporting to -I for sata3 signaling speed.
 - force use of ATA_16 for all commands to ATAPI devices.
 - supply a sector count of "1" for IDENTIFY commands, to satisfy buggy USB3
bridges.

What about this: I'll try to extract the required change from the diff between
9.28 and 9.30 and apply it to hdparm-9.28 in 11.3 - would you be able to test
if it works? If it does, we can try to patch also hdparm in 11.2, if not, we
will ask maintenance team about full update (CC:ing now).
