Shield Optimizer v2-2.0.0-beta.13

on GitHub

Fixed

• Linux: AppImage blank window / EGL crash on modern Wayland systems
  (CachyOS, Arch, and other rolling distros — "Could not create default EGL
  display: EGL_BAD_PARAMETER"). The AppImage bundled its own copies of
  libwayland, which clash with current Mesa graphics drivers; they are now
  removed so the system's own libraries are used, matching current AppImage
  tooling defaults. The crash was reproduced and the fix verified in CI
  against an Arch userspace. No more LD_PRELOAD workaround. (#60)

First-run warnings

These builds are unsigned. Your OS may complain on first launch:

• macOS (Gatekeeper): the first-launch dialog on macOS 15+ only offers "Move to Trash" or "Done" — click Done, then either:
  • Terminal: xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine "/Applications/Shield Optimizer.app" (one-time, then double-click as normal)
  • GUI: System Settings → Privacy & Security → scroll to the "Shield Optimizer was blocked" message → Open Anyway → enter password
• Windows (SmartScreen): "More info" → "Run anyway".
• Linux: chmod +x ShieldOptimizer*.AppImage before running.

See the v2 README for setup and feature docs.
