1.10.0-beta.1

Beta Release

Please participate in the beta test! Instructions can be found at #870 .

Feature highlights:

Battery Care

• Lenovo laptops (non-ThinkPad series and ThinkBooks): use the new charge_types sysfs attribute as of kernel 6.17.
  Support for the legacy interface in kernels < 6.17 has been split off into the additional plugin lenovo-legacy.
• Laptops with Wilco EC (such as Dell Chromebooks modded with chrultrabook/coreboot custom UEFI firmware):
  start and stop threshold (Issue #838)
• RESTORE_THRESHOLDS_ON_BAT: change default to enabled.
  If the charger is disconnected, for instance after a tlp fullcharge, then the configured charge thresholds will be automatically restored.

Graphics

• Support for Intel Xe graphics (experimental kernel driver xe required):
  • INTEL_GPU_POWER_PROFILE_ON_AC/BAT/SAV: SLPC power profile
  • INTEL_GPU_MIN/MAX_FREQ_ON_AC/BAT/SAV: min/max frequencies

Power Profiles

• TLP_PROFILE_AC/BAT: customize automatic TLP profiles for AC and battery.
  For example, they can be changed to balanced on AC and power-saver on battery power.
• TLP_DEFAULT_MODE: renamed to TLP_PROFILE_DEFAULT
• Rewrite of tlp-pd to use only GLib and no longer python-dbus

1.9.1

Bugfix Release

Power Profiles (tlp-pd)

• Fix Polkit Authentication Bypass in Profiles Daemon in Version 1.9.0 (CVE-2025-67859)
  • Version 1.8.0 and older are not affected
  • Ensure that all processes that change the power profile or the daemon's log level are authenticated, either by a desktop user session or as root
  • Limit the number of stacked profile holds (tlpctl launch) to 16
  • Make profile hold cookies unpredictable, to prevent unrelated users from releasing an active profile hold

1.9.0

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

1.9.0-beta.1

Beta Release

Please participate in the beta test! Instructions can be found at #832.

Feature highlights:

Power Profiles

• tlp-pd: TLP Profiles Daemon is a new addition to TLP. It implements the D-Bus interface, which lets desktop environments show a power profile switch. Together with TLP as the backend for applying these profiles, it replaces power-profiles-daemon.
• 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.
