v0.2.0 — the ecosystem release
Cryo grows from one-machine tool to a capability-probed command center for the alienware-wmi ecosystem. The daemon resolves what your hardware supports at startup; the GUI, tray, and CLI render only what exists.
Highlights
- Capability probing — available profiles, G-Mode, fan-boost writability, lighting controller, turbo control, and NVML are detected at daemon start and shipped in every telemetry frame
- Per-machine profile naming — built from what the kernel actually advertises: on G-Mode machines
balanced-performanceis Performance andperformanceis G-Mode; without G-Mode,performanceis Performance cryoctl doctor— a hardware/driver compatibility report (works without root or a running daemon), formatted for pasting straight into a model report- Discovery instead of hardcoding — Mains supply found by type (battery rules now work on
ACAD/AC0/ADP1machines), turbo control abstracts overintel_pstate, acpi-cpufreq, and per-policyamd_pstateboost - Thermal Guard min-hold — no more 100%→0%→100% saw-toothing under sustained load
- Fixes — Custom mode works on kernel 6.14+ (per-handler platform-profile node), tray Show/activation works on Wayland compositors, GUI mirrors real daemon config
Compatibility
Developed on the Alienware m18 R2; designed for the wider alienware-wmi family (Alienware m/x-series, Dell G-Series). See docs/COMPATIBILITY.md — and whatever machine you have, cryoctl doctor + a model report helps, working or not.
