0.0.1 (2026-06-09)¶

No significant changes.

The default backend is now auto instead of redfish. Profiles that omit backend: will probe Redfish first and fall back to IPMI on TLS / connection / non-Redfish HTTP responses — so mixed fleets containing both modern (Redfish) and legacy (IPMI-only) hardware work without per-profile configuration. To preserve the previous fast-path behaviour on Redfish-only fleets, set backend: redfish explicitly to skip the probe.

bmc.get_system_info on the IPMI backend now works on legacy BMCs. The previous implementation called Command.get_fru() and Command.get_bmc_information() — neither of which exist on pyghmi.ipmi.command.Command. The fix:
- Calls pyghmi’s actual API (get_firmware()) for BMC firmware version, plus a tolerant in-house FRU reader for the system FRU. Pyghmi’s built-in FRU read starts at a 224-byte chunk size and only backs off on IPMI completion codes 0xC9 / 0xCA, leaving older BMCs (e.g. early HP iLO / Allegro RomPager-based BMCs) that return 0xC7 (“Request data length invalid”) with no usable inventory. Our reader treats 0xC7 the same way pyghmi treats 0xC9 / 0xCA — halve the chunk and retry — then parses the bytes with pyghmi’s own FRU class.
- Recognises pyghmi’s title-case FRU keys (Manufacturer, Product name, Serial Number, Model, UUID, SKU) in _normalize_fru_flat; snake-case keys are still accepted for backwards compatibility.
- Returns None for fields the BMC does not expose rather than raising, matching the docstring promise. Each component (FRU, firmware, power) is queried independently.
