Subject: [ANN] ulatencyd 0.4.0

Hi,

I'm happy to announce ulatencyd 0.4.0.
This is a new major release towards prefect user experience on moderns
Linux Desktops.

What is it ?
============

ulatencyd is a scriptable daemon which constantly optimises the Linux
kernel for best user experience.
The default configuration tries to increase the responsiveness for a
typical desktop system and protects the system from malicious
processes/groups.
With a different configuration all other types of systems can be
adjusted as well.

• Package Repos:

Major changes since 0.3.0
=========================
  • DBUS interface to query and control ulatencyd
  • Much improved desktop config.
    It now uses the task group as primary grouping value
    Per group swappiness values
  • IO optimisation when available
  • Workarounds for GNOME & KDE which do not properly set task groups
  • More robust startup on missing system features
  • Tons of updates, improvements and bugfixes
