==========
GNOME Power Manager 0.2.6
==========

Released October 01, 2005

- GNOME Screensaver support runtime detection has been improved
  (no timeouts now, and console messages supressed)
- Fixed lots of 64bit warnings thanks to Rodrigo Moya <rodrigo@novell.com>
- GNOME Power Manager is now in Fedora Core Rawhide!
- The screen now dims gently (rather than a big brightness change) when
  changing brightness states.
- We now support ONLY the new SetBrightness HAL API in HAL CVS.
  http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.freedesktop.hal/3280
  You will have to be using HAL CVS for brightness changing to work.
- We now do not require libhal as all communication to hald is done through
  the DBUS glib bindings.
- All source files now have lots of asserts that should make any code logic
  errors easy to spot. Please report any regressions.
- Thanks to Robert Love, we now daemonize when being run. Use --no-daemonise
  to disable this.
- A new "About" box that follows the GNOME HIG...
- A new "Information" tab that tells you a bit about your computers' power
  management capability. This is very young and will have much more
  information in the future about batteries, UPS's etc. Help welcome.
- Lots of fixes and improvements to the core code, with thanks to Theetjuh
  and Myk Melez for testing the code so well.
- GNOME Power Manager now notifies you your battery is low *and* how much time
  you have remaining. This fixes a regression from 0.2.2.
- Working with GNOME Screensaver, we now work out the idle time so we can
  suspend or hibernate in a period of keyboard and mouse in-activity. 
  The load value is also computed, so we can avoid sleeping when CPU 
  intensive programs are left running, e.g. kernel compiles or simulations.

==========
GNOME Power Manager 0.2.4
==========

Released September 21, 2005

- We now have an experimental yum repo that contains all the needed updates
  for a standard FC4 system.
  You do not now have to update your fedora system to the unstable
  rawhide repo. All packages have been built by me for FC4.
- Comboboxes now only have "sane" values available.
- Lots more code cleanups, and more modularization.
- 100% GLIB DBUS support - this is faster than libhal, but has not been tested
  much, and is disabled for now. Use ./configure --enable-glibhal to test.
- DBUS services now works, so we init g-p-m with just a query to 
  org.gnome.GnomePowerManager. This makes it easy to make sure g-p-m has been
  started, or to start g-p-m when we start Power Preferences.
- Now we control GNOME Screensaver so that we don't use screensavers on battery
  but just blank the screen.
- Lots of updates to the website.
- Fixed specfile to be in RedHat approved format.
- Now we only call SetLowPower if system.formfactor is laptop.
- We detect GNOME Screensaver at runtime, rather than with a configure option.

GNOME Power Manager 0.2.2
==========

Released September 07, 2005

- Fixed the problem where the notification icon wasn't being shown by default.
- We now check for the presence on the session and system dbus connections,
  and tell the user what they have to do, to fix the problem.
- New Polish translation by Michał Kastelik
- Switch to using org.gnome.GnomePowerManager rather than net.sf.GnomePower
- Add the new DBUS api calls isOnBattery(), isOnUps(), and isOnAC() and 
  remove isRunningOnMains().
- LCD slider brightness now adjusts the correct immediate state whilst on 
  battery power and AC.
- Fix from wrobell to fix compilation on PLD Linux.
- Made docbook2man optional. If this program is missing, the man files will 
  not be built.	Suggested by Eugenia Loli-Queru to fix Arch Linux compilation.
- Add lots more answered questions on the FAQ page.

==========
GNOME Power Manager 0.2.1
==========

Released September 5, 2005

- The reboot and halt gconf typos have been fixed.
- Lots more code compliant with C99.
- gnome-power-manager now sports a --version argument.
- New Italian translation by Daniele Medri
- Fix a problem reported by Andrew Duggan where the incorrect ACPI reading was
  tripping up our over-zealous HAL checks.
- Rename LCDPanel to LaptopPanel to match HAL CVS. LCD brightness is
  officially supported now.
- Fix the combobox error for "Sleep Type"
- Website updated with a "bug reporting" section.

==========
GNOME Power Manager 0.2.0
==========

Released August 31, 2005

- This new release brings lots of new features and updated translations.
- The preferences program now supports LCD brightness, and works with 
  gnome-screensaver to set the DPMS timeout for monitors.
- The website has been updated with a new design with lots more content.
- *WARNING* this program depends on new DBUS and HAL libraries to install, 
  due to the recent changes in HAL. See the new FAQ page 
  (http://gnome-power.sourceforge.net/faq.php) for more details.
- Working with HAL 0.5.4, lots of problems have been solved.
- This includes the need for a external DBUS daemon - now we use HAL to 
  launch scripts.
- Many more batteries are supported, as well as support for most of the 
  broken ACPI BIOSes.
- This release has had little testing (and a *lot* has changed internally 
  since 0.1.0), so expect a few bugs, and teething problems.
- The wait between 0.1.0 and 0.2.0 has been required for the newest HAL to be
  released. Expect more frequent releases in the future.
