With Intel Panther Lake now shipping, open-source Intel engineers working on the client side are turning to tidying up support for their next target: Wildcat Lake. That more cost effective alternative to Panther Lake now has Intel Thermal Daemon support in getting ready for Linux desktops/laptops.

Intel Thermal Daemon 2.5.11 was released on Wednesday with the main feature being Wildcat Lake support. The Wildcat Lake support comes down to just adding the 0xd5 model and new sysfs path checks. Aside from that it's building off the existing Panther Lake support.

Intel Thermal Daemon 2.5.11 also brings some code fixes as a result of running clang-tidy on the codebase. Plus there is a CVE issue addressed around symbolic link exploits. Lastly are some D-Bus interface fixes.

Those using the Intel Thermal Daemon for modern Intel desktop/mobile Core (Ultra) CPUs on Linux can grab the new release if interested from GitHub.
