1.3 - Portable edition

Hey Linuxers! GOverlay is back with a very special release! 🚀

Since the early days of GOverlay, packaging for different distributions has always been a challenge. While some distros worked flawlessly, others required extra effort. A portable format seemed like the ideal solution, but creating something that "just worked" felt like an impossible task for me. That's when our incredible community stepped in and gave me the boost I needed. In just a matter of days, AppImage specialists from PkgForge not only created a fully functional AppImage for GOverlay but also set up an automated process for nightly builds. This is a game-changer for accessibility and usability across all Linux distributions!

What's New in This Release? 🎉

1. Portable AppImage Support

   • GOverlay now comes as a portable AppImage, making it compatible with virtually any Linux distribution, including those using musl libc.
   • Nightly builds are now automated, ensuring you always have access to the latest features and fixes.

2. Enhanced UI and Themes

   • New color themes: "Afterburner," "Mangohud," , "Goverlay" and "Simple White."
   • Improved positioning of color theme icons and better visual feedback for FPS limit settings.
   • Automatic detection of CPU and GPU brands to apply matching color themes.

3. Blacklist Management

   • Added a dedicated form for managing blacklisted applications.
   • Apps added to the blacklist: pamac-manager,lact,handbrake, bitwig-studio, yumex, and ptyxis.

4. Wayland Support Improvements

   • Automatic detection of Wayland environments and use of vkcube --wsi wayland for compatibility.

5. Bug Fixes and Stability

   • Fixed issues with the FPS limit checkgroup not loading correctly.
   • Resolved errors in the Mangohud wrapper and HUD version selection.
   • Disabled the spinedit increment function as it’s now handled automatically.

6. Distro-Specific Adjustments

   • Disabled the global-enable button for the Bazzite distribution.

7. Quality-of-Life Improvements

   • Added notifications for missing configuration files, with automatic creation if they don’t exist.
   • Streamlined UI changes for a smoother user experience.

This is a small fix release, the last version was still generating QT5 code. A big thanks to @Antiz96 who find the issue and write a fix.

You rock man !

1.1

Hey there, Linux enthusiasts!

Exciting news: Plasma 6 is on the horizon, and we're eager to ride that wave by updating goverlay to QT6 ASAP. Plus, the Lazarus crew has dropped a major update, bringing qt6pas into a stable state. And hey, I've been tinkering away, ironing out some kinks since our last release. Oh, and don't fret, vkBasalt is still in the cards!

Without further ado, let's dive into what's cooking in this release:

New: We've given our toolkit a snazzy upgrade to QT6.
New: Check out our shiny new icon and application logo!
FIX: Say goodbye to issues with changing FPS color—it now saves your config like a champ.
FIX: That pesky pcidev config option? Yeah, it's sticking around now.
FIX: Ever set AF filter or Mipmap filter to 0 and felt like it did nothing? Fear not, they'll now actually disable those filters as intended.
FIX: No more wandering windows—the main goverlay window now sits smack dab in the center of your desktop.
Cheers to smoother sailing and more streamlined experiences ahead!

1.0

Hello Linux enthusiasts,

Can you believe it's almost been a year since the latest Goverlay Release? Some folks even thought the project had taken a nap! Wondering why it took this long? Well, we decided to give the program a makeover. The original code was filled with shell scripting and hardcoded paths, making it a bit tricky to whip up a flatpak version. Developing open source in our free time can be a challenge – sometimes it's a shortage of "free time," other times it's a lack of motivation. But fear not, because just in time for Christmas, we're thrilled to present a brand new version!

🌟 Version 1.0 Highlights:

A much speedier, shiny new codebase
Now compatible with Wayland
Every *.TTF font in /usr/share/fonts is ready to use
A fresh look for the user interface
Loads of new features inspired by MangoHUD 0.7
Bid farewell to replaysorcery (rest in peace – the project is gone, and there's barely any interest in it)

We hope this update brings a smile to your face. Enjoy, and happy holidays to all!
