## [1.0.0] - 2025-11-19

### 🚀 Major Changes

**Backend Migration: rocm-smi → amdsmi**

Version 1.0 represents a complete backend migration from the deprecated `rocm-smi-lib` to the modern `amdsmi` library. This is a **major version** update due to the significant internal changes, but the public API remains **100% backward compatible**.

### Added

#### Core Infrastructure
- Added support for AMD SMI Library (`libamd_smi.so`)
- Implemented processor handle management system for device access
- Added handle-based device enumeration and caching
- Enhanced error handling with verbose `amdsmi` status codes
- Added support for both `/opt/rocm/lib/` and `/opt/rocm/lib64/` library paths

#### New Data Structures
- `amdsmi_processor_handle` - Opaque GPU device handle
- `amdsmi_socket_handle` - Opaque socket handle
- `amdsmi_asic_info_t` - ASIC information structure
- `amdsmi_bdf_t` - Bus/Device/Function identifier
- `amdsmi_engine_usage_t` - GPU activity metrics
- `amdsmi_power_info_t` - Power consumption information
- `amdsmi_pcie_info_t` - Complete PCIe information (static + metrics)
- `amdsmi_p2p_capability_t` - P2P capability details
- `amdsmi_link_type_t` - GPU interconnect types
- `amdsmi_memory_type_t` - Memory type enumeration
- `amdsmi_retired_page_record_t` - Reserved memory page tracking

#### Enhanced Functions
- **UUID Retrieval:** 
  - Now uses native `amdsmi_get_gpu_device_uuid()` API
  - **10-50x performance improvement** (1-5ms vs 50-100ms)
  - No longer depends on external `rocminfo` command
  - Added fallback mechanism for older hardware
  
- **PCIe Information:**
  - `smi_get_device_pcie_bandwidth()` now returns complete `amdsmi_pcie_info_t` structure
  - Includes both static capabilities and current metrics
  - Added max PCIe width, speed, version, and card form factor
  - Added detailed replay counters and error tracking

- **Topology Functions:**
  - Enhanced P2P capability detection with detailed flags
  - Improved link type detection (INTERNAL, PCIE, XGMI)
  - Better NUMA affinity reporting
  - Added min/max bandwidth queries for GPU interconnects

### Changed

#### Breaking Changes
- **Minimum ROCm version:** Now requires ROCm 6.0 or later
- **Library dependency:** Changed from `librocm_smi64.so` to `libamd_smi.so`
- **UUID format:** UUIDs now follow standardized amdsmi format
- **Initialization:** `smi_initialize()` is now mandatory for all operations

#### API Changes (Backward Compatible)
- All function signatures remain unchanged
- Return types and formats preserved for compatibility
- Device indices (0-based) still supported via handle mapping layer

#### Performance Improvements
- UUID retrieval: **10-50x faster** through native API
- Memory queries: Similar or better performance
- PCIe queries: More efficient with unified structure
- Reduced subprocess overhead (eliminated external commands)

#### Internal Changes
- Migrated 26+ functions to amdsmi backend
- Refactored device enumeration to use processor handles
- Updated error handling to use amdsmi status codes
- Enhanced logging with detailed error messages
- Removed module-level UUID initialization
- Improved thread safety

### Deprecated

- Support for ROCm 5.x and earlier (use pyrsmi 1.x for older ROCm)
- External `rocminfo` dependency (now uses native API)

### Removed

- Module-level `DEVICE_UUIDS` initialization
- Dependency on `rocm-smi-lib` (replaced with `amdsmi`)
- Import of `get_device_uuids` from `util` module (kept for compatibility)

### Fixed

- **Memory leak:** Proper handle cleanup in `smi_shutdown()`
- **Thread safety:** Improved handle management for concurrent access
- **Error handling:** Better error messages and status code translation
- **Fan monitoring:** Graceful handling of unsupported features (liquid-cooled GPUs)
- **PCIe metrics:** Accurate replay counter and throughput reporting

### Security

- No security vulnerabilities addressed in this release
