v1.7.0 - Unified Windows & Linux

Requires MoonDeck v1.9.0!

Windows

• Changed how Steam/App state detection is being done. Instead of relying on registry, Steam logs are now parsed for more reliable information.
  • As a result, the "Controller configuration" popup window should no longer popup every time a game is launched, since Buddy now waits for Steam to fully load.

Linux

• The same logic is used for Steam/App state detection on Windows + some additional logs are read to prevent timeouts during shader compilation.

Both

• A rotating logfile is now used for logging.

v1.6.3 - Dep bump and better MAC address retrieval on Windows

Windows

• MAC address should now be properly retrieved when using VPNs (#108).

Linux

• Fixed an issue where after an abnormal process termination (like FATAL), Buddy would have to FATAL 2 times in a row before it can be started again, because the shared memory is not cleaned up automatically by Linux. Now Buddy will do the cleanup instead.
• Changed libprocps dependency in favor of libproc2.

Both

• Updated Qt framework version to 6.8.

v1.6.2 - QoL improvements

Note: release was recreated due to packaging issues with AppImage (#99)

Windows

• Dropped support for Nvidia Gamestream and removed workarounds for it.
• Migrated from NSIS installer to InnoSetup, because of its cursed customizability in CMake. New installer:
  • performs better cleanup;
  • enabled autostart by default;
  • launches MoonDeckBuddy after install;
  • prompts to remove settings during uninstall.

Linux

• MoonDeckStream will now inhibit sleep while active for systemd.

Both

• Updated Qt framework version to 6.7.
• Added command line arguments for MoonDeckBuddy:
  • --help - displays help;
  • --version - displays current version;
  • --enable-autostart - enables autostart;
  • --disable-autostart - disables autostart;
  • --close-all - tells active Buddy and Stream instances to gracefully terminate.

v1.6.1 - Allow to override the MAC address

• Added new setting MAC address override.

v1.6.0 - Fix incoming breaking change from Sunshine

• Fixed incoming breaking change from Sunshine (MAC address is no longer exposed via HTTP port for WakeOnLan). Buddy now provides it.

v1.5.8 - Add Steam path overrides for Linux

Added path overrides (see config) needed for flatpak version of steam (#63).

v1.5.7 - Qt Framework update + new setting

• Updated Qt Framework version to 6.5.* for LTS support.
• Added new Close Steam Before Sleep setting.

v1.5.6 - Add and option to launch without Big Picture mode

• Added an option to disable "forced" Big Picture mode for Steam when launching the app.

v1.5.5 - Fixed issue with parsing Sunshine apps on linux

• Fixes compiler-related issue where Sunshine apps would not be parsed on linux (#54)

v1.5.4 - Save resolution changes on Windows

• Resolution changes are now saved to the registry on Windows (per user). Some games or tools (like https://github.com/FrogTheFrog/gsync-toggle 😉) could trigger an unrelated resolution settings change, which would reset the resolution changes made by Buddy, because they were temporary and not saved anywhere.
  • This means that if you manually restart the PC while the game is running without closing Buddy first, the resolution will persist after restart.
  • Changing PC state via MoonDeck will make Buddy restore the resolution before the desired state is reached.
