New Power page: - toggle for the firmware's 30 s keyboard backlight timeout - idle timeout for keyboard and lightbar, separately for AC and battery; predatord watches all input devices and restores the lighting on the next input - battery rules: dimmed keyboard brightness, keyboard off, lightbar off The rules only change what is sent to the hardware; the saved lighting settings stay untouched.

# Changelog
|
||
|
||
## 1.4.0 – 2026-10-07
|
||
|
||
### Added
|
||
- **Power page** with energy settings for the lighting:
|
||
- toggle for the firmware's automatic keyboard backlight switch-off after 30 s
|
||
(moved here from the System page)
|
||
- turn keyboard and lightbar off after a configurable idle time, separately for AC and battery
|
||
(never, 30 s … 30 min); any keyboard, touchpad or mouse input turns them back on
|
||
- on battery: reduced keyboard brightness, keyboard lighting off, lightbar off
|
||
|
||
## 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
|
||
- Keyboard layouts: German ISO and US ANSI
|
||
- Installer and uninstaller for Arch-based distributions (generic `--no-deps` mode for others)
