Red Hat engineer Richard Hughes this morning released Fwupd 1.9.25 as the newest feature release to this open-source solution paired with the Linux Vendor Firmware Service (LVFS) for making firmware updates on Linux a breeze for an increasing number of systems and peripherals. With Fwupd 1.9.25, the supported device list has grown a little bit longer.

Fwupd 1.9.25 brings a few fixes, reduces the idle power consumption of paired Logitech HID++ devices, and other minor changes. Plus there are a few more devices now supported by Fwupd:
- Algoltek devices supporting sector erase
- Dell K2 dock
- Intel USB4 hub 5787
- More MediaTek scaler devices
- Nordic HID devices supporting DFUv1

More Intel USB4 hardware support is good to see along with the Dell K2 dock.
