This release brings support for MacOS! The basics things are working, but it is far from feature parity with Linux. I developed this in a VM, so bugs on real hardware are likely. If you have a Mac and no idea what to do with your free time, i am very happy to accept pull requests / work on issues.
A lot of things were changed under the hood to make this possible, which should bring better performance and stability on all platforms.
Besides that, the following things have changed:
Features:
- The binary prefix used can now be configured, and is used consistently across all modules. Set
--binary-prefixtoiec(default),siorjedec. - AMD GPUs now have a much better name, if the file
/usr/share/libdrm/amdgpu.idsexists. For example my dedicated GPU, which was displayed asAMD/ATI Radeon RX 5600 OEM/5600 XT / 5700/5700 XT, is nowAMD Radeon RX 5600M.
