While not a visual revolution, the administrative dashboard in Xw.v5.6.11 features a redesigned "System Health" widget. Real-time thermal throttling metrics and per-core interrupt request (IRQ) distribution are now visible without requiring command-line access. For managed service providers (MSPs), the API response time for fetching connected client lists has improved from 1.2 seconds to 0.4 seconds.
