Auto-Cpufreq version 3.0.0 has been officially released, enhancing the tool designed for optimizing CPU speed and power consumption on Linux laptops. This update enables users to tailor their CPU performance with new features, such as manual control over CPU turbo settings accessible via both command line interface (CLI) and graphical user interface (GUI). Users can now also specify particular battery devices in the setup files, allowing for finer control over power management.
The release addresses several critical bugs to improve CPU frequency scaling, ensuring that the data related to CPU information and frequency limits functions correctly. It resolves issues with the auto-cpufreq --monitor command's output in the context of CPU frequency scaling, as well as enhancing battery path detection, which is particularly beneficial for users who have encountered battery threshold errors.
In addition to bug fixes, the update includes essential dependency and library upgrades, notably raising urllib3 from version 2.6.0 to 2.6.3. Documentation has also been improved, with the removal of the flag --completions for clarity, and system-specific fixes have been implemented to better identify maximum CPU clock speeds on ASUS systems. The project has transitioned to utilize urwid v3 and is now set up with poetry, ensuring smoother functionality.
For users utilizing the GUI, the error handling has been strengthened, and additional minor adjustments have been made to enhance overall performance, including resolving exit code 1 issues with the GTK frontend and correcting variable names related to virtual environment removal. These changes aim to provide a more refined experience, ultimately enhancing the tool's ability to optimize laptop performance while extending battery life without compromising power when needed.
The key features of Auto-Cpufreq 3.0.0 include:
- Manual overriding of CPU turbo settings via CLI and GUI.
- Specification of battery devices in configuration files.
- Improved reliability in CPU frequency scaling and monitoring.
- Enhanced battery path detection to address previous errors.
- Updates to dependencies and libraries for improved performance.
- Clarified documentation and system-specific enhancements.
Overall, the latest release positions Auto-Cpufreq as a more powerful and user-friendly tool for managing CPU performance and power efficiency on Linux laptops. Users can expect a better balance between performance and battery longevity, making it an essential utility for optimizing their devices
