Resources 1.6 has landed and contains mainly internal changes and further preparations for GNOME Circle. Here are some highlights:

• Introduction of commandline arguments for Resources
• New dialog for changing a process’ priority and processor affinity
• Improved application detection
• Reduced memory usage over time
• Added context menus in the Apps and Processes views

Resources 1.5.1 is a small bugfix and GNOME Circle preparation release.

🐛 Bug fixes

• AMD GPU usage could be displayed to be higher than 100 %
• Resources detected HID batteries resulting in unnecessary battery pages with little to no information
• AMD GPU power usage couldn’t be determined sometimes

📈 Improvements

• Smaller GNOME Circle related fixes and improvements

Resources 1.5 has landed and brings with it monitoring for batteries along with the usual bug fixes and improvements. Enjoy!

🐛 Bug fixes

• If the Processes view was the last opened view and the “Show search fields on launch” setting was enabled, the search bar was not automatically focused
• Graphs in the sidebar were reset when a drive or network interface was added or removed
• App icons were not shown for user-wide installed Flatpaks
• The calculated amount of logical CPUs was wrong for systems with multiple CPU sockets

✨ New features

• Resources can now monitor connected batteries
• CPU usage normalization can now be toggled off
• Total read and write stats for drives

📈 Improvements

• Graph colors have been revamped to avoid low contrast situations and improve consistency within views
• Some keyboard shortcuts were changed to avoid clashes with standard shortcuts
• More stability when performance statistics could not be determined
• Some entries in the settings dialog now have subtitles
• If a drive has no model name, its block device name will now be shown in the titlebar
• Small accessibility improvements

Resources 1.4 is here and brings with it some quality of life features and bug fixes along with an upgrade to the new GNOME 46 runtime. Enjoy!

🐛 Bug fixes

• Users other than the current user were mistakenly shown as root in the Processes view
• The titlebar for GPU views was inconsistent with the other titlebars
• Some widgets did not have accessibility labels
• RAM size was calculated wrongly
• Dialogs regarding process manipulation (such as ending a process) still said “Application”
• App names in the Applications view were not localized into the user’s language

✨ New features

• Resources can now show graphs in the sidebar too (this is enabled per default but can be toggled back to the old bars in the settings)
• CPU time of processes can now be shown in the Processes view
• Read speed and write speed in Drive views now also have graphs
• When launched, Resources will now start with the view that was last opened
• When launched, Resources will now sort the items in the Applications and Processes views by what they were last sorted by
• Added device descriptions for better distinction between similar devices (disabled by default)
• There are now keyboard shortcuts for manipulating processes and applications

📈 Improvements

• Upgraded the Flatpak runtime to GNOME 46, allowing Resources to use libadwaita 1.5’s new and improved dialogs
• Added brand colors and changed Resources’ summary to adhere to new Flathub guidelines
• The column views in the Applications and Processes views now have undershoot and their backgrounds now looks less out of place
• The power usage properties in GPU views are now more compact
• Widgets with graphs in them now look closer to libadwaita’s not-that-new-anymore action rows
• Improved app detection for GNOME Terminal and Google Chrome

Resources 1.3 has been a long time in the making and brings a number of new and exciting features as well as many bug fixes. Enjoy!

🐛 Bug fixes

• Snap applications were not properly detected and categorized as system processes, this fix requires an additional Flatpak permission (read-only access to /var/lib/snapd/)
• CPU usage of processes and applications was not calculated correctly
• Newer AMD GPUs were not properly detected
• The counting for multiple GPUs started at 0
• bash was recognized as an application if there was a detected .desktop file using bash to start the app
• “simple-framebuffers” were recognized as GPU
• Displayed stock speed instead of overclocked speed for RAM using AMD EXPO or Intel XMP

✨ New features

• GPU usage (including video encoder, video decoder and VRAM usage) is now tracked per-process
• The amount of datapoints in graphs is now configurable
• A grid can now be displayed for graphs
• The counting for multiple GPUs started at 0
• More statistics for Intel GPUs
• The info window for applications and processes now shows the launch date

📈 Improvements

• Vastly improved memory usage over time
• Non-Wireguard VPNs are now recognized as such
• Memory properties can now be accessed without root privileges
• Resources needs less time to load after launch
• Resources’ companion process “resources-processes” is now launched once to run for as long as Resources itself is running, rather than being launched on every refresh
• Better recognition of Chromium-based applications and their many processes
• AMD GPUs have a more precise name in the titlebar
• Processes and applications refresh now as fast as the rest of the UI does
• The scrollbar doesn’t jump around anymore when scrolling the processes or applications list during a refresh
