This release adds LibreHardwareMonitor support for Windows platforms (feature request #52) and other improvements.
LibreHardwareMonitor integration
Libre Hardware Monitor, a fork of abandoned Open Hardware Monitor, is a free open-source project to monitor your computer hardware sensors.
This release uses LibreHardwareMonitorLib (the library version) loaded from the official .dll to read information from your computer hardware (CPU, GPU, memory, disk, network) instead of using Python libraries.
A new parameter
HW_SENSORS
inconfig.yaml
allows to select LibreHardwareMonitor / Python libraries / stubbed data for HW sensors.By default it uses the best method available for your platform: LHM for Windows, Python libraries for other platforms.
Benefits
Compared to using Python libraries, the LibreHardwareMonitor integration has several benefits:
Limitations
The system monitor must be launched as administrator to use LibreHardwareMonitor. If you cannot run a program as administrator, use the Python libraries as previously (see
config.yaml
).License
LibreHardwareMonitor is free and open source software licensed under MPL 2.0, it is provided in the
external
folder as a built dynamic library from the 0.9.1 release with a copy of its license.Other improvements
This release contains following improvements for all platforms:
