# Changelog

## 1.3.0 – 2026-10-07

### Added
- **Predator key opens the app.** The key produces no input event on Linux (its usage code is
  outside the range the keyboard declares), so predatord listens on the keyboard's vendor HID
  report instead and opens Predator Control in the active desktop session
- Choose the key's action on the System page: open the app, switch to the next performance mode,
  or do nothing

## 1.2.0 – 2026-10-07

### Added
- **Built-in updater**: predatord checks the release page every 6 hours (configurable), downloads the
  new pacman package, verifies its SHA-256 and installs it with `pacman -U` in a separate systemd unit
- Update notice and *Install* button on the System page, in the sidebar and in the panel widget
- `predatorctl update [--check] [--yes]`
- Optional API token in `/etc/predator-control/update-token` for private repositories
- `packaging/release.py` builds the package and publishes a release in the format the updater expects

## 1.1.0 – 2026-10-07

### Added
- **Charging indicator**: live charge/discharge power in watts, battery graphic with charge bolt,
  power history graph and estimated time until full / time remaining (respects the 80 % limit)
  – on the Battery page, the Dashboard, in the panel widget (popup and tooltip) and in `predatorctl status`
- **pacman package**: `packaging/arch/PKGBUILD` builds `predator-control-<version>-any.pkg.tar.zst`;
  the kernel module is shipped as DKMS source and rebuilt automatically for every kernel

## 1.0.0 – 2026-10-04

First release.

### Added
- **predatord** system service: settings persistence, restore at boot and after resume,
  automatic AC/battery profile switching, temperature-based fan curves, live state snapshot
- **Predator Control** desktop app (Qt/PySide6): dashboard, performance modes, fan control with
  curve editor, RGB Studio (hardware effects, per-key painter with live preview, presets,
  lightbar), battery health, firmware options
- **Plasma 6 panel widget** with quick controls that opens the app on the matching page
- **predatorctl** command line tool
- **predator_wmi** kernel module (DKMS) as a minimal WMI bridge for fans, lightbar,
  battery health and firmware options
