v0.5.6

[0.5.6] - 2024-09-22

This release has two main features: custom power profile heuristics and support for remote management over TCP.

Parts of the UI have also been ported to use the relm4 library. This doesn't affect UI looks in any way, but allows for better structuring of code and is less verbose compared to using gtk-rs subclassing for custom widgets.

New power profile heuristics UI:

To set up remote daemon access see this README section.

v0.5.4

[0.5.4] - 2024-04-22

Major new features:

• Historical charts

  Added a dedicated window that shows clockspeed, temperature and power usage values over a period of time.
  Thanks to @In-line for the initial implementation.

• Fan control hysteresis

  There are two new settings for custom fan curves: spindown delay and speed change threshold.
  These settings help avoid unwanted fan speed changes caused by small temperature changes and short temperature drops (such as during a loading screen in a game for example), reducing fan noise.

• VBIOS dumping

  It is now possible to dump the current GPU VBIOS into a file (the option is in the dropdown menu).

• Automatic config reloading

  Now when you manually edit the config file in /etc/lact/config.yaml, LACT will automatically apply the changes. This can be useful in headless environments.

There are also some hardware handling fixes and usability improvements, see the full changelog below.

If you want to support the development of LACT, please consider sponsoring.
