GPU_VIEWER 2.12 - Release Notes

Change Log

1 added Fiter to Formats Tab in Vulkan ( Note : those installing from ppa this change will be available from Ubuntu 22.10 or above this requires Gtk version 4.6 above to work correctly, so Ubuntu 22.04 users this will not be working correctly if application is clone and installed)

2 updated Vulkan Layers Tab to show all the information (note : those installing from ppa this change is applicable for Ubuntu 22.10 or above)

3 updated AMD Radeon Logo to use the official logo's , Added AMD Radeon pro logo from the official site

4 updated gtk.css for minor Tweaks to UI, still recommended themes are Materia-gtk-theme, Orchis-gtk-theme and Adwaita. Any Light theme the app should render OK

5 Work around (sort off) for Multi Monitor Setup where Application was panning more than the primary Monitor (Note : Primary Monitor should be 1920 x 1080p to work correctly)

6 Updated Legal text in About me Tab for OpenGL and OpenGL ES

7 xdpyinfo is a dependency for the application to work correctly so if you are seeing a blank Window please check xdpyinfo is installed. Those who are installing from PPA, AUR or Flatpak this will be automatically installed. For those who are cloning please follow the below commands to install for the respective distro's (source : https://command-not-found.com/xdpyinfo)

Debian apt-get install x11-utils

GPU_VIEWER 2.00 - Release Notes

Thank You All

Hi All,

Before i start mentioning the change log below, I want to wish you all a Merry Chrismas and a Happy New Year. Its been a really active year for this app. I really had to put lot of time in getting the Security Improvement #49 done . Also, when doing this i decided to move the Application to Gtk 4 (note 4.0 not 4.1 or 4.x) (Gnome developers are still trying to figure out what they want, as they keep depreciating the features). Anyway i still went ahead and ported it to Gtk 4.0 and in future i will definitely move it to the latest Gtk 4.X as and when i get time. So to all , try out the application and do let me know what you think and ofcourse if there are any issues, as i could only test with the devices which i have (though covered all major Vendor Intel, Nvidia and AMD.)
