Changelog

All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file.

The format is based on Keep a Changelog.

[1.3.4] 2024-01-16

Improvements

  • do not try to disable window compositors when compositor.off if requested from a wayland session
  • do not try to hide the mouse pointer when mouse.hidden is requested from a wayland session (unclutter does not support wayland at the moment)
  • adding a new project definition/setup (pyproject.toml) file to comply with the latest standards

[1.3.3] 2023-08-12

Improvements

  • optimizer: ignoring more unneeded EA launcher and Wine child processes

Fixes

  • watcher/optimizer: not able to map processes alive with ps command version >= 4.0.X

[1.3.2] 2023-01-30

Improvements

  • replaced some subprocess calls executed in behalf of non-root users by async calls (Python's asyncio native approach)

Fixes

  • the optimizer service (as root) not able to execute some commands in behalf of non-root users (started with Python 3.10.9)

[1.3.1] 2022-10-22

Improvements

  • Optimizing the children of the target process
  • New optimizer service properties:
    • optimize_children.timeout: maximum period in seconds to keep looking for the target process children (default: 30). 0 can be defined if children should be ignored.
    • optimize_children.found_timeout: maximum period in seconds to still keep looking for the target process children after a child in found (default: 10). 0 can be defined if the search process should be interrupted immediately after a child is found.
  • Ignoring some Ubisoft launcher sub-processes not required to be optimized (when launched from Steam)

Fixes

  • Only checking for mapped processes when a process optimization is requested

[1.3.0] 2022-10-15

Improvements

  • Properly detecting all Steam games subprocesses that need to be optimized (no need to map launchers anymore)
  • Launcher mapping now optimizes all matches instead of just the last born process
  • New optimizer service property launcher.mapping.found_timeout: maximum time in seconds to still keep looking for a process mapped to a different process after a match. This property also affects the period to look for Steam subprocesses. (default: 10)
  • The optimizer service property launcher.mapping.timeout has now a default value of 60 (seconds)

Fix

  • wild card mapping to proper regex pattern

[1.2.2] 2022-09-22

Improvements

  • Minor code refactoring and log improvements regarding AMD GPU management
  • Optimizer:
    • configuration property check.finished.interval now accepts floats and the minimum value accepted is 0.5
    • new configuration property gpu.id: allows to define which GPU cards should be optimized (e.g: gpus.id = 0,1). If not defined, all available GPUs are considered (default).

Fixes

  • optimizer:
    • when running as a system service, sometimes the GPU mapped directories are not available during the system startup and affects the correct behavior of the property gpu.cache when it is enabled (true)
      • so now the available GPUs will be cached after a first request when the optimizer is running as a system service (otherwise they will be cached normally during the service startup process)

[1.2.1] 2022-08-22

Fixes

  • Performance mode not being activated for AMD GPUs from the RX 6XX0 series (tested on kernels >= 5.15)

Improvements

  • removed unused code

[1.2.0] 2022-06-17

Features

  • watcher service:
    • allowing processes to be ignored through the mapping file: watch.ignore (must be located in ~/.config/guapow or /etc/guapow)
      • it follows the same patterns as the watch.map file, but the profile name is not required (as it makes no sense). e.g:
      my_app_name
my_app_name*  
/bin/my_proc
r:/bin/.+/xpto
      • this feature is useful if you have general mappings that cover a lot of processes in watch.map (e.g: /usr/bin/*), but want to ignore specific ones
      • new config property ignored.cache to cache all mapped patterns to memory after the first read and skip next I/O calls (default: false)

[1.1.1] 2022-06-08

Fixes

  • AMD GPU performance mode not working #1
    • (test context -> GPU: Ryzen 7 5700G, Kernel: 5.15.45, O.S: Arch Linux)

[1.1.0] 2022-06-03

Features

  • If cpu.performance is defined, now the energy policy level is also set to full performance. This feature is only available for certain Intel CPUs (generally for laptop models). More on that here

Improvements

  • Optimizer settings:
    • launcher.mapping.timeout: now defaults to 30 seconds instead of 15

[1.0.2] 2021-12-26

Fixes

  • test cases relying on inxi installed

[1.0.1] 2021-10-06

Fixes

  • Random test failures when comparing environment variables

[1.0.0] 2021-10-06

  • First release
