Release Tag: v2.0.0
Status: Major Version 2.0 Stable Release
- Complete 2.0 Rust Architecture (
lbright): Core background daemon and CLI rewritten in 100% pure standard library Rust, reducing background memory consumption from ~80MB to < 3.5MB RSS with 0.0% idle CPU overhead. - Direct Sysfs Kernel I/O: Fast direct reading and writing to
/sys/class/backlight/*with microsecond latency and zero subprocess spawning overhead. - External Monitor Support (DDC/CI): Dedicated background worker thread communicates with external monitors via DDC/CI (VCP
0x10) throughddcutilwith strict non-blocking timeouts (5s set, 10s detect) to prevent desktop freezes. - Interactive ANSI Terminal UI: Fast, zero-dependency ANSI menu (
lbright tui) to inspect live status, interactively edit 24h curves, toggle ALS, pause/resume, and rescan displays. - Non-Destructive Migration Engine:
lbright migrate [--dry-run]imports existing~/.config/auto-brightness/profiles.confinto structured~/.config/lbrightness/config.iniwithout modifying the original configuration. - Advisory Config Locking: Prevents write collisions between background daemon learning and interactive TUI saves.
- Hardened Systemd User Service:
lbright.serviceconfigured withNoNewPrivileges=trueandPrivateTmp=true. - Multi-Channel Packaging: Full support for Debian package installation (
.deb), automated user installer (install.sh), standalone precompiled tarballs, and source builds via Cargo.
