Hi,

I'm happy to announce ulatencyd 0.4.0.
This is a new major release towards prefect user experience on moderns
Linux Desktops.

What is it ?
============

ulatencyd is a scriptable daemon which constantly optimises the Linux
kernel for best user experience.
The default configuration tries to increase the responsiveness for a
typical desktop system and protects the system from malicious
processes/groups.
With a different configuration all other types of systems can be
adjusted as well.
