These changes were accompanied by version upgrades from 6.14.11 to 7.14.11 and from 6.13.11 to 6.14.11. Detailed release notes for version 7.14.11 can be found on the official repository page. Overall, Dario Binacchi’s contributions focused on maintaining the ufs-utils repository, addressing compatibility issues, and ensuring the software’s continued improvement and development under its new ownership.
