System Requirements
V5 of BurnInTest Linux is built under a slightly new development environment compared to V4, as such the system requirements have changed;

• 64bit Linux required
• Linux kernel 4.16 or higher
• glibc 2.25 or higher
• Qt 5.9.4 and higher
• Open GL 1.2 and higher (for 3D graphics test plus working Open GL drivers for your video card).
• libusb 1.0

What's new

• New Advanced network test and endpoint utility
• New Updated RAM test based on Windows version that uses a separate executable (up to 4 instances) for testing. This greatly increases testing speed, will allow better management of the amount of RAM under test and hopefully avoiding triggering the OOM killer on some Linux distributions where it is overly aggressive.
• New Battery test, added battery information collection and test
• New Battery graph tab, added battery charge/discharge graph (requires QtCharts to be installed)
• New Temperature test, check selected temperature sensors don't exceed set thresholds
• New Temperature graph tab, added temperature sensors graph (requires QtCharts, lm-sensors (CPU temps), hddtemp or smartctl (HDD temps) to be installed)
• Sound test, updated to use stereo audio instead of mono
• Sound test, changed the underlying methods used for accessing the sound hardware to better support some Linux distributions
• USB Test, added "Automatically select all" option, detected USB devices, USB3 speed choice & cycle options to configuration options
• USB Test, added USB3 benchmark to start of USB3 test
• Serial Test, changed RTS/DSR testing option to be two separate options
• Serial Test, removed an extra sleep in the middle of a testing cycle that was slowing down higher baud speeds disproportionately.
• System info, fixed an issue where RAM was reported as MB instead of GB on some systems
• Management console, added session & result IDs to log and status message on successful connection. Also checks for errors on status/result message updates.
• Plugins, fixed plugin reporting the wrong error string for a no operations error ("General instruction operation verification failed" was being reported)
• Scripting, added SETDISK and SETDISKDESTRUCTIVE

Changes since Beta 1
