Feature highlights:

Power Profiles

  • tlp-pd: the brand new TLP Profiles Daemon enables easy profile switching with a mouse click. tlp-pd replaces power-profiles-daemon by implementing the same D-Bus API that major Linux desktop environments like GNOME, KDE and Cinnamon already use.
  • Introduce a third configuration profile for maximum power savings and make tlp-pd possible. The following are now available:
    • performance: parameters ending in _AC are used when AC power is connected or when the new command `tlp performance' is run.
    • balanced: parameters ending in _BAT are used when operating on battery power or when the new command tlp balanced is run.
    • power-saver: parameters ending in _SAV are used when the new command tlp power-saver is run. If there is no _SAV parameter available for a feature, the _BAT parameter will be used instead.
  • tlpctl: new command to switch between power profiles, launch applications with specific profiles and control tlp-pd. It offers a subset of powerprofilesctl's commands supplemented by TLP-specific shortcuts.
  • TLP_AUTO_SWITCH: controls the automatic switching of the power profile when the charger is connected or removed (even during a suspend). The Innovation (and new default) is a "smart" mode that can retain a manually selected profile when the power source changes.
  • Use the TLP_DEFAULT_MODE profile when automatic switching is disabled.

Battery Care

  • Tuxedo laptops supported by the clevo_acpi out-of-tree driver from tuxedo-drivers: start and stop threshold (Issue #803). Only models with a Clevo ODM chassis are compatible, check the tlp-stat -b output to find out if yours is.

General

  • TLP_DISABLE_DEFAULTS: deactivate all intrinsic defaults so that only settings that have been explicitly activated are applied. Helpful to use only selected features.

Selected bugfixes:

Battery Care

  • Chromebooks, Framework laptops: fix tlp discharge to a target percentage
  • ThinkPads: fix X201, X220 discharge (Issue #793)

Radio Devices

  • Ensure clean wifi/wwan switching by keeping the status of NetworkManager and TLP in sync
