December 12, 2024 (A15 stable):
*Updated to December security patch
*Improved the CPU governor for massively better performance and overall smoothness
*Greatly enhanced the scheduler's ability to track CPU load, for better overall performance
*Greatly improved sustained performance when the CPU is thermal throttled, such as during gaming
*Improved battery life as a result of the significant scheduler improvements
*Improved my RAM speed governor for better performance during short bursts of high-intensity CPU load
*Fixed a huge bug in my IRQ balancer (SBalance) that caused it to never work correctly, improving overall performance
*Backported a stability fix from a newer version of the mali GPU driver, to fix a bug introduced in the December mali driver upgrade
