Conky v1.24.2

Conky v1.24.2 expands Wayland support and adds NVML-based NVIDIA monitoring for Linux. Wayland builds gain safer buffer handling, fractional scaling, dock/panel behavior, and XDG shell support; NVIDIA users can query GPU data without relying on X11/NvCtrl.

Highlights Since v1.24.1

Wayland

• Fixed SHM buffer handling by using double buffering and honoring wl_buffer.release, avoiding compositor reads from buffers Conky is already reusing (#2382).
• Added fractional scaling and viewporter support, logical maximum_width handling, and output-scale race fixes for crisp, correctly sized output on scaled Wayland displays (#2382, #2399).
• Added Wayland support for own_window, own_window_type, title/class settings, XDG shell normal windows, layer placement, and exclusive zones for dock/panel windows. This fixes #2029 and improves behavior on compositors including GNOME fallback cases (#2399).

NVIDIA

• Added an optional Linux NVML backend for ${nvidia}, ${nvidiabar}, ${nvidiagauge}, and ${nvidiagraph}, including driver/model/architecture, temperature, clocks, utilization, memory, performance state, fan, and power queries (#2396).
• Vendored NVML development stubs per supported architecture and added the BUILD_NVIDIA_NVML CMake option. The NVML backend is mutually exclusive with the existing X11 NvCtrl backend (#2396).
• Added compatibility handling for older NVML headers/drivers and unsupported GPU features, so unavailable temperature, fan, power, and architecture data degrade cleanly instead of warning or reading invalid values (#2396).
