A new version of the Linux GPU Control Application tool has been released, featuring an upgraded charts window, the capability to export historical data to a CSV file, and the introduction of LACT as a Flatpak package. The package works across all systems; however, it necessitates root access.

The AMD settings have been implemented with solutions for RDNA3, guaranteeing that overclocking configurations are more dependable on 7000 series graphics cards. LACT features a comprehensive database of GPU AIB names, allowing users to contribute if their card model is not present in the system database. Furthermore, LACT now provides the capability for an emergency configuration reset through a boot option, enabling users to restore their overclocking settings prior to system startup. Additional significant modifications encompass the revised configuration for socket permissions and the reporting of fan RPM on Nvidia. The comprehensive changelog encompasses bug fixes, updates to specification files, and enhancements to the Fedora 42 package build. Support for LACT development is available on Liberapay.

The release of FEX-2504 has brought forth a range of features, optimizations, and bug fixes tailored for PC gaming enthusiasts. The resolution of the audio issues in Slay the Spire represents a significant enhancement. The optimization eliminates x87 stack management from JIT code, which is a resource-intensive operation. The resolution was achieved by executing F{INC,DEC}STP instructions in reverse order within a specific code path. Another enhancement is the support for volatile metadata in Windows PE. The compiler from Microsoft produces "volatile" metadata, which is utilized alongside the ARM64 Prism emulator to prevent expensive emulation of the x86 memory model. This feature has been enabled by default since 2019, and FEX utilizes this metadata to enhance emulation performance. The release aims to encourage package maintainers to distribute Arm64ec WINE and FEX packages, enabling users to benefit from enhanced performance at no cost.

This month, the JIT has undergone optimization, concentrating on SHA256 instructions by utilizing ARM's equivalent instructions, which offer approximately the same functionality. The optimization has approximately doubled the performance of SHA256 during emulation. Furthermore, the implementation of support for ARM's FEAT_FRINTTS extension has been completed, offering instructions that facilitate the rapid rounding of float values into integer restricted ranges.

Rust 1.86.0 has been released and represents a new iteration of the programming language, enabling users to develop reliable and efficient software solutions. The features encompass trait upcasting, hashmaps and slices, safe functions, debug assertions, a default missing_abi lint warning, a target deprecation warning for version 1.87.0, and stable APIs.

Trait upcasting enables users to convert a reference to a trait object that includes a supertrait into a reference to a trait object of the supertrait. This feature is particularly advantageous when working with the Any trait, as it facilitates the upcasting of your trait object to dyn Any, enabling the invocation of Any's downcast methods without the need to introduce additional trait methods or rely on external crates.
