Release Highlights

v1.8.0 adds background monitoring and tray-based status visibility, expands multi-GPU support, and improves reliability around data compatibility, localization, and release automation.

New User-Facing Features

• Background/tray mode: HardwareVisualizer can now continue running from the system tray after the main window is closed. This lets you keep hardware monitoring and history collection active without keeping the full dashboard open, while still giving you quick access to reopen the app or quit from the tray. It is especially useful for long-running workloads, gaming sessions, builds, and troubleshooting where you want monitoring to continue in the background.
• Live tray metrics: CPU, GPU, and GPU temperature status can now be shown directly from the tray/menu-bar area. macOS uses a native menu-bar renderer, while Windows gets a dedicated tray flyout for readable live metrics and quick actions.
• Better multi-GPU dashboards: The app now models GPU metrics per device instead of treating GPU readings as a single flat value. This enables dashboard GPU selection and more accurate monitoring on systems with multiple GPUs.
• Database downgrade handling: If the app is opened with a database created by a newer version, it now shows a recovery dialog instead of crashing during startup.

Behavior Changes and Fixes

• Closing and reopening behavior is more predictable in tray mode: macOS Dock reopen restores the hidden window, and launching the app again restores the existing instance instead of creating duplicate tray icons.
• Linux multi-AMD GPU systems now avoid GPU name collisions, improving per-device identification.
• Light-mode form controls are easier to read, including inputs, checkboxes, radio groups, and switches.
• Russian localization now falls back to English when a translation is missing or empty, avoiding blank text and raw translation keys.
• GPU history and chart state handling now correctly supports null-padded history values.

Internal and Maintenance Improvements

• The backend continued moving toward a Tauri-independent core with a workspace crate, EventBus-based metric fan-out, separated collector/persistence responsibilities, and a clearer monitoring lifecycle. This supports the new tray/background behavior and makes future monitoring surfaces easier to add.
• Linux AMD GPU polling is more efficient by avoiding repeated lspci process launches during every monitoring cycle.
• CI, release publishing, dependency scanning, and supply-chain checks were updated, including scheduled OSV scans and improved draft release handling.
