From the NEWS file: - New features: - kmod tool started to learn the "insert" and "remove" commands that are the simplified versions of the older modprobe tool. These commands are still work in progress so they are hidden behind a --enable-experimental flag during build. It should not be enabled unless you know what you're doing. - kmod tool now prints the relevant configuration options it was built with when the "--version" argument is passed. This helps to mitigate problems for example when the user is trying to load a compressed module but kmod was built without support for the compression method. - Improvements to testsuite: - Cache built modules so it is easier to run "make check" on build servers by distro maintainers. If kmod is configured with --disable-test-modules the modules from cache will be used by "make check". No changes to the tests are needed and all of them can run fine.
