Hope you all enjoyed Smissmas.
Small bugfix related update for Android applications. Finally fixes an annoying issue
with PadLock which caused it to sometimes fail to load lists.
Small bugfixes for git-ssh and update-hosts.
Also, a small update to the custom build of Faster Melee on the AUR, which brings the
package to 4.4 and ships many of the FasterMelee custom configuration files in the
package instead of having to dig around the Internet for them.

The Smissmas Update
Because there are no updates otherwise, I had the time to scrap up another bugfix update.
Nothing super exciting, just some stability changes. I found the time to work because I was not spending the time on other things because there is no Smissmas in sight to be seen.
As I write this actually, it seems that a Smissmas update has been released.
Shucks. Foiled again.

Ch Ch Changes
I have begun changing the build process for how the pyamsoft Android projects are built.
Instead of being built as individual modules in a single master project, each application will be split into its own project. This should allow for faster build times over all.
The migration will take some time, so no real progress will be made in the applications until the process finishes.
Sit tight.
EDIT: Since the original post, I have managed to convert both Home Button (a rather simple result) and Pasterino (slightly more complex, shows a separation of modules) to this full project format and out of the global Pyamsoft project.
You can check the GitHub repositories for these projects to see the difference.

MuQSS is a strange one
MuQSS is, to my understanding, a replace for BFS.
It works great. Keeps heat low and is highly responsive and performant.
Except it one odd case. Playing the vidya gamez.
Normally, I would be able to run CS:GO or the dolphin emulator without having to
change the frequencies of my CPU (using pstate-frequency). But with MuQSS, for
some odd reason, I am forced to basically set the CPU performance governor to
reach the same frames that I would have with the mainline CFS scheduler.
As a result, when playing games I experience a bit higher of a heat increase than
with the mainline build, but I also experience a slightly better performance benefit
as well.
Overall, MuQSS is a great addition to the desktop Linux ecosystem, but I did find it
interesting that it performs oddly in very specific situations for my very specific machine.
Also, if GalliumOS could ship MuQSS in replacement for BFS, that would be awesome.

Tiny fixes for hopefully tiny bugs
Just applied some fresh bugspray to the cracks in the wall. Hopefully it will deter the smaller bugs from creeping out again, and hopefully it will not inspire larger bugs to suddenly awake.
All apps updated, should be landing fresh in a few hours. Sit tight.

Updates and goals
PadLock has gotten some stability fixes yesterday and today that should fix the brief flickers that you may see when loading large lists of applications.
I'm hoping to include in Power Manager 2 new modules, one to control brightness levels on the device automatically and the other to monitor wakelocks on the device. I may even be able to allow rooted users to release wakelocks on demand, but I will need to test stability before claiming this as a potential future. Most likely, the first release with wakelock support will be simply read-only.

Please report any bugs you may find as GitHub issues.
kthxbye.

Bit rougher than usual
Tonight's round of bugfix updates went a bit rougher than usual, going through three betas and a hotfix.
All just general stability improvements, but a nasty list duplication bug has me running around releasing a hotfix for production versions.
Hopefully, I can write some decent tests to catch these issues in the future, but anyway. If you are an eager beaver and running any recently released *.*.0 version, please update to the hotfixed *.*.1 version of the application.
Thanks.

Stuff
So
Yesterday I released some updates. Das coo.
Today, worked on PadLock and Power Manager some more. PadLock can now filter on the full application list and the specific application list. Filtering is more lenient on both lists and they are now entirely searchable.
Data is now only processed once to save memory and reloaded on demand. To fully refresh the lists, you can use the Swipe to Refresh gesture as always. A bug was also fixed in the Pin entry dialog, which allows it to be displayed more properly in Multi Window mode at the smallest size.
Power Manager had some power trigger improvements. There are also some small memory management improvements, and I will be tackling the reliability for operations that require root in the coming weeks.
WordWiz will be updated to handle searching for the number of specific occurrences in a block of text. ZapTorch will also be updated to reduce memory usage of working with the Camera on older devices.
SoftGlow will be given a face lift and should see a new release perhaps around the new year. I hope to use some new found knowledge to make it less intrusive and just generally easier to use all around.
Time will tell.
