New in Resources 1.3.0 (Jan 3, 2024)
- Happy holidays, everyone!
- Resources 1.3 has been a long time in the making and brings a number of new and exciting features as well as many bug fixes.
- BUG FIXES:
- Snap applications were not properly detected and categorized as system processes (#98), this fix requires an additional Flatpak permission (read-only access to /var/lib/snapd/desktop)
- CPU usage of processes and applications was not calculated correctly
- Newer AMD GPUs were not properly detected (#99)
- The counting for multiple GPUs started at 0
- bash was recognized as an application if there was a detected .desktop file using bash to start the app (#112)
- “simple-framebuffers” were recognized as GPU
- Displayed stock speed instead of overclocked speed for RAM using AMD EXPO or Intel XMP (#122)
- NEW FEATURES:
- GPU usage (including video encoder, video decoder and VRAM usage) is now tracked per-process
- The amount of datapoints in graphs is now configurable
- A grid can now be displayed for graphs
- More statistics for Intel GPUs
- The info window for applications and processes now shows the launch date
- IMPROVEMENTS:
- Vastly improved memory usage over time
- Non-Wireguard VPNs are now recognized as such
- Memory properties can now be accessed without root privileges
- Resources needs less time to load after launch
- Resources’ companion process “resources-processes” is now launched once to run for as long as Resources itself is running, rather than being launched on every refresh
- Better recognition of Chromium-based applications and their many processes
- AMD GPUs have a more precise name in the titlebar
- Processes and applications refresh now as fast as the rest of the UI does
- The scrollbar doesn’t jump around anymore when scrolling the processes or applications list during a refresh
- It might take a while for this update to be on Flathub because it seems like I need to apply for a new exception for Resources in flatpak-builder-lint, sorry for that. :)
