* fix(native): games on the SD card library start in their own folder
* fix(native): Wine drive links proot made point at their real places
* fix(native): at-calls, uid lookups and relative programs follow the session's mounts
* fix(native): close-from in spawned programs covers what is open at the spawn

* fix(native): drive links into identity mounts stay, and relink and seccomp patch failures are logged
* fix(native): seccomp-sim's filter holds every allowed call
* fix(ctl): the broadcast fallback only stands in for a missing content command
* fix(native): pre-2.33 glibc stat calls present owners as root too
* fix(native): res_init and res_ninit call glibc, so Steam's store resolves names
* fix(ci): a preload lock older than a new output rebuilds that group, and generated headers are not hashed

* fix(native): Flatpak sandboxes get the session's mounts, their libraries' RUNPATHs, and no rootfs-only settings
* fix(native): gethostbyname asks the network's DNS servers, nftw of / gives single slashes, and the library path fits mapped directories
* fix(native): a native process starts in its working directory's real place
* fix(native): the library path given to ld.so holds whole directories only
* fix(native): Wine drive links keep their guest paths, so proot finds the library after a native session

* fix(native): a rootfs link to an absolute guest path is followed in the guest, so Wine finds its z: drive
* fix(native): a sandbox whose loader can't be patched runs under proot
* fix(native): creating a private SysV segment also collects stale ones
* fix(native): a session stopped during startup forgets its mode
* fix(xbox): a native backend is authorized by its process ancestry
* fix(native): Wine's drive links are followed in the guest from any prefix
* fix(native): only the startup that owns the running session publishes its mode
* fix(native): a SysV segment stays until IPC_RMID even after its maker ends
* fix(native): a sandbox mount nested in another mount gets its own place
* fix(native): a sandbox whose mount places can't be made runs under proot
Extend the VRAM setting to Vulkan memory-budget reports for DXVK and D3D12 while preserving real heap capacity and allocation results, removing the hard rejection that caused game crashes in FIT and Discord tests.
On some Adreno devices (the Retroid Pocket Duo) SELinux hides kgsl's sysfs
nodes from apps, so the HUD showed no GPU % and no GPU clock. Devices whose
nodes are readable keep using them; nothing changes there or on GPUs
without kgsl.
Where the nodes are blocked:
- GPU %: a native reader maps kgsl's memstore read-only (any kgsl client
may) and samples the ringbuffer start/end timestamps once a millisecond
while a HUD is shown. That covers all GPU work, Android's own
composition included.
- Backup for GPU %: an implicit Vulkan layer in the guest
(tools/gpuload) and the compositor time their own GPU work with
timestamp queries. It runs until the memstore stamps are seen moving,
and for the whole session if they never move.
- GPU clock: a small GPU job of our own reads the always-on and RBBM
cycle counters (libgpuclock).
The HUD diagnostics export lists which source each GPU value came from.
tools/gpuload/build.sh takes the Vulkan headers from build_local.sh's NDK
first and keeps NDK paths with spaces intact.
A Dashboard mode for the second screen of dual-screen handhelds (developed on a Retroid Pocket Duo), the default on dual-screen devices. It opens on Chat at each Steam start and switches to In-game stats when a game starts.
- Downloads: Steam downloads and updates (SD-card libraries too), shader caches and DroidDeck store downloads.
- Notifications: other apps' notifications once access is allowed, kept in memory only.
- Screenshots: a game screenshot without the overlay, and a gallery of DroidDeck's and Steam's screenshots.
- Chat & voice: mic and game volume buttons, and Steam's web chat signed in with the Steam client's own session.
- In-game stats: FPS, CPU, GPU, RAM and battery plus the running game or Steam client type, and a racing dash from Codemasters, Forza and OutGauge games' data output, with War Thunder and Elite Dangerous layouts; speed in km/h or mph.
- Send dashboard data: turns a Codemasters game's data output on for the dash (per game or Automatic) and keeps the original setting to put back.
- DiRT 3 / DiRT Showdown: with their data output on they stop with error 10038 at race end; a ws2_32.dll stand-in (tools/dirt-ws2) is swapped into the prefix while the game runs, skipped on DroidDeck-Proton 11-11.10 which has the fix built in. Same behaviour as DiRTTelemetryErrorFix by RoccoC, based on Carsten Gottschling's fix.
About "telemetry": here it means a racing game's own live driving data (speed, gear, rpm, pedals), not app analytics. For In-game stats no information leaves the device and nothing is shared: the game sends its data to 127.0.0.1 on the same device, DroidDeck only listens there while the page is open and keeps the numbers in memory just long enough to draw them. DroidDeck sends no data about the user or their use of the app; logs leave the device only when the user taps Share logs.
The components job checks out external/MaliBridge and builds the guest
ICD, its manifest and the self-test as the vkbridge recipe; a submodule
counts in a recipe's identity by its pinned commit.
