GOverlay, a graphical tool for managing Linux gaming overlays, has been released in version 1.8.9.

Version 1.8.9 adds a per-game blacklist for MangoHud, fixes for OptiScaler and bgmod, and improved path resolution for non-Steam games under Flatpak.

Changes in version 1.8.9:

MangoHud & Blacklist Improvements

• “Per-Game Blacklist Support”: Automatically append the blacklist= directive to both global and per-game configuration files.
• “Global Profile Parity”: Unified global mode storage structure under goverlay/gameconfig/global/ to mirror per-game profiles, while maintaining automatic synchronization with system-wide MangoHud configuration paths.
• “Blacklist Window UX”: Fixed button modal properties in blacklistunit so the window remains open after adding (+) or deleting items.

OptiScaler & bgmod Integration

• “Version String Comparison”: Fixed version matching by stripping the stable. prefix when comparing OptiScaler releases.
• “Fakenvapi Fixes”: Corrected an off-by-one key length check for fakenvapiversion and resolved a configuration key typo in bgmod.
• “Silent Saving & UI Sync”: Added silent saving modes to prevent UI desynchronization

Flatpak & Path Resolution

• “Non-Steam Games Config”: Fixed path resolution for nonsteam_folders.txt using TConfigManager.GetGoverlayFolder to ensure proper Flatpak sandbox support.

UI & System Fixes

• “Changelog Deadlock”: Resolved a menu option freeze and curl I/O pipe deadlock when fetching and parsing release notes.
