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.

A new option -HC has been introduced, enabling users to configure dedicated $HOME and $XDG_CONFIG_HOME directories for multiple AppImages simultaneously.
