[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.
