LSW 0.2.1

Packages

• Arch Linux: lsw-bin on the AUR, or the tarball below.
• Ubuntu 26.04: lsw_0.2.1-1_amd64.deb (sudo apt install ./lsw_0.2.1-1_amd64.deb). On Debian and Ubuntu your user must be in the kvm group.
• Fedora 45: lsw-0.2.1-1.fc45.x86_64.rpm (sudo dnf install ./lsw-0.2.1-1.fc45.x86_64.rpm).

Updating LSW in Windows

• Every file LSW keeps in Windows (agent, window mirror, GPU driver, graphics loaders, shared folders) is updated together when LSW is updated. A dialog shows the versions and the steps. Windows restarts only when the GPU driver changed.
• Settings, "Update LSW in Windows", replaces all of them on demand.
• A new agent that does not start is replaced by the previous one.
• New installs use the same update step, so they start on the current version.

Logs

• All logs roll over at a size limit and keep the previous run: on the host in ~/.local/share/lsw/logs, in Windows in C:\ProgramData\LSW\logs.
• Log levels per part in Settings, and a 30 minute debug switch.
• The Log page shows every log: the manager, the agent, each window mirror, QEMU, the GPU driver and Windows' logs. Long lines wrap.
• Collect logs builds one archive for bug reports, with settings that hold passwords or keys removed.
• Clear all logs, on the host and in Windows.

Fixes

• Word's window mirror could freeze after many popup windows opened and closed at once; its dialogs then never appeared and scrolling stopped working.
• Right-click menus that use the Windows Explorer menu (WizTree, among others) opened behind their window.
• The install view showed "Display output is not active" on hosts with a second GPU.
• The VM finds the UEFI firmware on Ubuntu and Fedora as well as Arch.
• lsw-manager --help crashed.

Known limits

• Tested on an AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT host. Intel and NVIDIA hosts were not tested for this release.
