Hello all,

It's been a long while since the last release, but here it is:
I just released GSmartControl 0.9.0 (a GUI for smartctl), you may find
it at http://gsmartcontrol.berlios.de .

Changes include:

Implemented (untested) support for Linux-based Areca controllers with
enclosures.
Implemented (untested) support for Windows-based Areca controllers (thanks
to Richard Kagerer).
Implemented (untested) support for Linux-based HP controllers with cciss
and hpsa/hpahcisr drivers (thanks to Fabrice Bacchella).
Changes in Preferences no longer fail silently until rescan/restart.
Better drive detection under Windows after removable drives are detached.
Windows version is no longer marked as "dpi aware" since it's not
supported that well.
Drive attribute descriptions have been updated (including clarifications
for SSDs).
Added support for SSD-only and HDD-only vendor attributes.
Devices having only basic info can be displayed now in the info window.
Fixed BDRW drive detection (it was detected as a HDD).
Other minor improvements.
A number of issues have been fixed (including a crash).

Any help with testing is really appreciated.

Thanks,
Alexander
