Smartmontools 5.1-14 has been released.  Here is the incremental CHANGELOG
since the previous 5.1-11 release:

  [BA] smartctl: added column to -A output to show if Attributes are
       updated only during off-line testing or also during normal
       operation.

  [BA] smartd: attempt to enable/disable automatic offline testing even
       if the disk appears not to support it.  Now the same logic
       as smartctl.

  [BA] Added definition of Attribute 201, soft read error rate.

  [BA] Added IBM/Hitachi IC35L120AVV207-1 (GXP-180) and corresponding
       8MB Cache GXP-120 to drive database.

  [BA] smartd: if DEVICESCAN Directive used in smartd.conf, and
       -I, -R or -r Directives used in conjunction with this, got
       segv errors.  Fixed by correcting memory allocation calls.

  [BA] smartd: enable automatic offline testing was broken due
       to cut-and-paste error that disabled it instead of
       enabling it.  Thanks to Maciej W. Rozycki for pointing
       out the problem and solution.

  [BA] Fixed "spelling" of some Attribute names to replace spaces
       in names by underscores. (Fixed field width easier for awk
       style parsing.)

  [BA,GF] Added mods submitted by [GF] to support Attribute 193 being
       load/unload cycles. Add -v 193,loadunload option, useful for
       Hitachi drive DK23EA-30, and add this drive to knowndrive.c
       Add meaning of attribute 250 : Read error retry rate

  [BA] Added another entry for Samsung drives to knowndrive table.

  [DG] Refine SCSI log sense command to do a double fetch in most cases
       (but not for the TapeAlert log page). Fix TapeAlert and Self Test
       log pgae response truncation.

  [PW] Added 'removable' argument to -d Directive for smartd.  This
       indicates that smartd should continue (rather than exit) if the
       device does not appear to be present.

  [BA] Modified smartmontools.spec [Man pages location] and
       smartd.initd [Extra space kills chkconfig!] for Redhat 6.x
       compatibility (thanks to Gerald Schnabel).
