1.4

Changes

  • Add new D-Bus methods/properties for use by external tools such as the GameMode GNOME Shell extension (#129, #155, #161).
  • Fix I/O priority and niceness optimisations to apply to the whole process rather than just the thread that requests GameMode (#142).

  • Add support for using the client library inside Flatpak by communicating with the daemon via a portal (#146).
  • Client library now uses libdbus rather than sd-bus (#147).
  • Fix gamemoderun to use the correct library path depending on whether the app is 32-bit or 64-bit.

  • Change permission of gamemoderun in source tree so that it is correctly installed with execute permissions on older Meson versions (such as that included with Ubuntu 18.04) (#115).
  • Enable more compiler warnings and fix issues highlighted by these.

1.3

Changes

  • Disable screensaver when the game is running (can help when playing with gamepad or joystick).
  • Add a gamemoderun helper script to do the necessary setup (set LD_PRELOAD) to enable GameMode on games which do not support it themselves.
  • Support for overclocking on NVIDIA GPUs (experimental, use at your own risk). See example/gamemode.ini for further details.
  • Support for configuring performance level on AMD GPUs (experimental, use at your own risk). See example/gamemode.ini.
  • Increase I/O priority of game processes.
  • softrealtime and renice options are no longer enabled by default since they require extra system configuration. See example/gamemode.ini.
  • Add supervisor API which allows requesting GameMode on behalf of another process.
  • Add tests for GameMode functionality (run with gamemoded -t).
  • Various other minor fixes and improvements.
