✨ What's changed

The whole script has been rewritten in golang (#85) to allow for easier maintainability than the previous bash script. Not only has egpu-switcher been rewritten, but also some internal concept changes were made and additional features have been added.

💥 Breaking Changes

  • The config file format has changed in a non backwards-compatible way and it can't be migrated automatically. Please re-run egpu-switcher config if you are updating from an earlier version.
  • The egpu-switcher remove command has been dropped for now.

🎉 Features

  • The detection interval and timeout can now be configured in the configuration file (#79)
  • Allow switch hook scripts to be configured (#73)

🐞 Fixes

  • GPUs are now identified by Vendor/Product instead of the PCI Id they were assigned (#48)
  • GPUs on non-zero PCI domains are working now (#69)
  • The graphics driver used is now directly taken from what sysfs reports instead of the buggy driver assumptions made in the old script (#81)

📓 Technical Changes

  • The X.org config is now in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/99-egpu-switcher.conf instead of /etc/X11/xorg.conf (#72)
  • Additionally to the egpu-switcher-git AUR package, more stable alternatives pointing to the latest release are now available: egpu-switcher and egpu-switcher-bin
  • Requirements for bash and pciutils have been dropped
