v0.5.21

• Resolve issue #23 by implementing a robust search path for the dmidecode binary (_find_dmidecode) and storing its absolute path to prevent PATH resolution errors within sudo subshells (thx @kstutz01).
• Minor tweaks to about.py and power.py.
• Always chmod +x binaries when starting.
• Default sleep time is now 3s instead of 30s.

v0.5.2

What's New?

• Cleaned up and refined most of the codebase after the huge refactor from v0.5.0

v0.5.1

What's New?

General

• Removed unused SoftwareUpdate.py standalone updater from the Assets folder
• Removed unused fields from config.toml: Assets, voltage, max speed,
  current speed, core count, core enabled, and thread count
• Implemented a new method for handling sudo and non-sudo command execution
• Implemented binary validation for ryzenadj and dmidecode at startup
• Implemented a new method to retrieve and display detailed hardware information

Linux

• Added run-on-startup support via XDG Autostart with automatic config path registration
• Fixed an issue where updater.py could fail to relaunch the script after
  an update

macOS

• Implemented a new method to re-register Login Items on startup

v0.5.0

What's New?

Architecture

The entire codebase has been rewritten from a single monolithic script into a proper Python package. UXTU4Unix.py is now a thin entry point; all logic lives in focused modules under Assets/Modules/.

New features

• Dynamic Mode AC detection (Linux) now correctly reads all AC adapter types (Mains, USB, USB_C, USB_PD, USB_PD_DRP, USB_C_DRP) and falls back gracefully on desktops with no battery - previously always returned Extreme on Linux.
• Login Item path validation (macOS) - stale Login Item entries (wrong path, moved app, leftover from Trash) are detected and removed automatically before re-registering the correct path.

Bug fixes

• Dynamic Mode preset args - in reapply loop, Dynamic Mode now correctly fetches the actual preset arguments for Extreme/Eco from the preset table instead of passing the mode name string as ryzenadj args.

Code quality

• Replaced long if/elif chains in codename detection with match/case (Python 3.10+).
• _toggle_menu() helper in settings.py eliminates six copy-pasted enable/disable sub-menus.
• Config access centralized, config.py owns all paths, constants, and the ConfigParser singleton; no module holds its own cfg object.
• SoftwareUpdate.py is now standalone (callable directly) and also used internally by updater.py, eliminating duplicated zip/swap logic.

Notes

• When updating from v0.4.x, you need to install the Python library keyring before performing the update!
• The updater will not remove the old config file from v0.4.x, so it is recommended to reset all settings for the best experience.

v0.4.2

What's New?

• Rework how dynamic mode works on Linux
• Update detection for new CPU models and presets from UXTU
• Resize the window to 80x35

v0.4.1

• Update UXTU4Unix.command for macOS

v0.4.0

Starting from v0.4.0, UXTU4Unix has been completely rewritten.

What's New?

• Merged Linux and macOS branches into a single main branch that supports both operating systems in the same file.
• Removed logging.

Linux

• Added support for RyzenAdj version 0.17.0.

Note

• The v0.4.x series will be the last version to support macOS.
• Future development will focus on extending Linux support.
• Existed config file from v0.3.x will be reset due to incompatibility.
• Don't use Updater from v0.3.x because it may cause incompatibility issues between v0.3.x and v0.4.x so please access download the latest version from GitHub.

v0.3.3

General

• Updated CPU stepping code detection (based on Family.cs)
• Updated CPU Presets (based on JamesCJ60/Universal-x86-Tuning-Utility@3a4a5d5 and JamesCJ60/Universal-x86-Tuning-Utility@f58c637)
• Updated RyzenAdj to latest commit FlyGoat/RyzenAdj@8b0b7b9

Note

UXTU4Unix has entered the slow-development stage as UXTU is now planning to support the Linux platform. Since Hackintosh is also approaching end-of-life, this project will be deprecated once UXTU officially supports Linux.

v0.3.2

General

• Support ryzenAdj v0.16.0
• Support macOS Sequoia

v0.3.1

General

• Add StrixPoint detection CPU model
• Refactor code
• Support some Linux distros: AlmaLinux, Alpine, Arch, CentOS, Mint, openSUSE, Pop!_OS, RHEL, Rocky, Stream, SUSE
• Fix DIR logic
• Fix Custom mode
• Fix some bugs

macOS

• Extend Terminal window when called by python3 command instead of .command file
