Release v2025.05.14

What’s New in This Update

This release marks our full transition from basic echo/read menus to a comprehensive Whiptail-based interface, delivering a far more cohesive, interactive, and professional user experience:

• Full Whiptail UI Overhaul
  – All menus, prompts, and dialogs now use whiptail (dynamic sizing, backtitles, gauges, scrollboxes).
  – Consistent English labels and clear, user-friendly wording throughout.

• Loading Banner & Spinner
  – Eye-catching ASCII banner on startup, followed by a polished spinner gauge for dependency checks and installs.

• Driverctl Passthrough Method
  – New “Driverctl” option in the GPU Passthrough menu for per-device persistent overrides via driverctl set-override … vfio-pci.

• Advanced Kernel Tweaks Submenu
  – Whiptail submenu to append kernel flags:

  • pcie_acs_override=downstream,multifunction [EXPERIMENTAL]
  • video=efifb:off
    – Includes explicit warning dialogs about potential risks.

• State File Refactor
  – Centralized flags (INITIALIZED, PASSTHROUGH_CONFIGURED, IOMMU_ENABLED, KERNEL_CONFIG_APPLIED) in script_state.txt.
  – Helper functions load_state / save_state manage persistence.

• Sources List & Dependency Management
  – Whiptail-driven “Install Dependencies” branch: backup/restore/modify /etc/apt/sources.list, install driverctl.

• Robust Validation & Error Handling
  – Fixed sed regex errors (escaped parentheses).
  – Strict PCI-ID format checking (dddd:dd:dd.d).
  – “No GPU found” and “No overrides found” show friendly Whiptail alerts.

• Logging & Polish
  – Detailed timestamped logs in /var/log/pecu.log.
  – All messages fully in English, no mixed icons or emojis.
