4 * Support times with upower and acpi (Closes: #740885).
5 * Use the latest upower API (Closes: #748935).
6 * Fix upower detection.

20 * Stop building with flash-in-the-pan HAL. Instead update acpi
21 interface to use /sys/class/power_supply.
22 Note that this needs acpica_version 20011018.
24 (Patch developed by Andrew Shadura.)
25 * Also added support for upower, which is used by default,
26 to avoid chasing kernel sysfs changes.

40 * Add -s option which can be used to ignore fluctuations
41 in reported battery charge (as seen on the EeePC) when
42 using -e. Closes: #527870 (Joseph Huang)
44 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Sat, 09 May 2009 16:53:10 -0400
48 * Use debhelper v7; rules file minimisation.
49 * Depend on hal since /proc/acpi is gone from the default kernels now.

56 * Magic header file reordering to work around the disgusting

70 if the hal is restarted.
72 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Wed, 20 Feb 2008 22:29:00 -0500
76 * Don't spew error messages if optional hal properties are not available.
77 * Only check to see if a battery is charging if hal reports there is AC
78 power. This is perhaps not 100% correct in systems with multiple batteries
79 that may cross-charge when off AC, but it's faster and it avoids bugs in
82 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Sat, 02 Feb 2008 17:28:37 -0500
86 * Bit the bullet, stopped trying to track the kernel's ever changing
87 interfaces, and added support for querying battery information from hal.
88 Support for the old kernel interfaces (APM, ACPI, etc) is still present,
89 but to use new interfaces such 2.6.24's /sys/class/power_adapter, you'll
90 have to have dbus and hal.

98 * Correct issue with the statically allocated string returned by
99 get_acpi_value that caused it to only look at last full capacity and never
100 really at design capacity.
102 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Sat, 22 Dec 2007 22:26:38 -0500
106 * Guard some divisions against division by zero. I've never seen that

115 * Further fix for my strange battery. If the present capacity is larger
116 than the maximum capacity, rescan to figure out the new max capacity.

122 * My new battery has a design capacity of 7800 mAh and yet its
123 last full capacity was 9488, and its currently charged to 8540.
124 Deal with this wonderful miracle^W^Wcrap hardware by taking the max
125 of the design or last full capacities.

145 * Minor bug fix to acpi code, don't skip over dotfiles.
146 * Patch from Vincent Bernat adding support for 2.6.21, which changes
147 yet again where the ACPI version number is stored. Closes: #423612

188 * Merge in changes from procmeter3's version of acpi.c, made by Andrew M.
189 Bishop, that avoid the ugly chdir to /proc/acpi and add a bit of error
190 checking. Now fully synced with procmeter3 3.4d.

199 * Unicode dash fixes on man page.
200 * Some indentation fixes.
202 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Wed, 24 Nov 2004 16:20:39 -0500
206 * Use the proper new-style acpi string when looking for ac adaptor status.
208 * Remove the hack I added for my old picturebook, as it causes bad results
209 on systems that label a fully charged battery's charging rate as
210 unknown and state as charging.
211 * Base battery charge calculations for ACPI on design capacity, instead of
212 last full capacity. Some batteries may exceed previous last full on
213 their next charging, and this also lets you see when you have a damaged
214 battery that is not fully charging.
215 * If acpi battery charging state is unknown, but the rate is 0,
216 then the battery is charged and on AC power, and the unknown state can
217 be ignored. Analysis and patch by "TeXitoi".

230 * Make acpi code put -1 in the time remaining field if the "present rate"
231 is 0. Closes: #204722
232 * Enable internal time estimate code in this case.
234 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Mon, 11 Aug 2003 17:21:17 -0400
238 * Another patch from Hugo Haas, this time it adds time-till-charged
239 estimates for systems that lack them. The estimates are on by default,
240 though they're only linear guesses and may not be accurate.
241 * Display dimmed time estimate field if there is no estimate available.
242 * -e switch renamed to -r and forces both estimates on.

248 * Patch from Hugo Haas <hugo@larve.net> to change when the icon is
249 refreshed for less latency.
250 * Patch from Hugo Haas to have wmbattery do its own time left estimates
251 if that info is not available from the machine.
252 * Add -r switch to force wmbattery to estimate the time left.
254 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Sun, 3 Aug 2003 00:00:09 -0400
258 * Set the cutoff point for old acpi to 20020214 (was 20020208).
261 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Sun, 20 Jul 2003 13:44:59 +0200
265 * Added support for ACPI version 20030109 (2.5 kernel), and generally
266 support for changing ACPI strings across versions. Closes: #177249
268 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Thu, 6 Feb 2003 14:50:21 -0500

274 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Fri, 15 Nov 2002 15:23:13 -0500
278 * Corrected inverted test to see if ac power is online, that was only called
279 on 2 battery systems. Closes: #152356
281 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Wed, 10 Jul 2002 16:10:40 -0400
285 * Deal with acpi putting nothing but "Present: no" in the info file for the
286 second battery of a thinkpad. This was with kernel 2.4.19-pre10.
288 * Moved DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS out of makeinfo.
289 * Updated to new autoconf.
291 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Tue, 11 Jun 2002 22:51:45 -0400
295 * Moved makefile stuff out of makeinfo, so it is just definitions.
296 * Support DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS.
299 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Sat, 1 Jun 2002 16:31:53 -0400
303 * Don't crash if there is a /proc/acpi/ with no status file.
305 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Fri, 31 May 2002 21:35:06 -0400
309 * Added symbolic apm info constants to "apm.h", in case they are
310 not in the system <apm.h>.
311 * Put $(LIBS) last at link time.
313 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Tue, 23 Apr 2002 11:49:16 -0400
317 * Deal with -1 time left from apm (no estimate).
318 * Never dim colon, fixes display bug.
320 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Mon, 22 Apr 2002 12:30:35 -0400
324 * (acpi) don't display the rather wacky "- :0" on an almost full battery
326 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Tue, 9 Apr 2002 23:19:35 -0400
330 * Work around stupid ACPI output format bug. Critical battery detection
333 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Mon, 8 Apr 2002 22:49:43 -0400
337 * Better error reporting.
339 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Sun, 7 Apr 2002 22:57:17 -0400
343 * Improved acpi interface (also used for procmeter3 module now).
344 * Fixed segfault on non-ACPI systems.
346 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Sun, 7 Apr 2002 17:48:41 -0400
350 * Corrected minus sign in bigfont to proper faux-lcd appearance. Also fixed
353 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Fri, 5 Apr 2002 23:34:38 -0500
357 * Added ACPI support, including battery change detection, and battery
358 charging time countdown timer.
359 * Added -w parameter to configure delay time.
360 * Added -c and -l parameters to allow user control of battery low/critical
362 * Use constant defs from apm.h instead of nasty hardcoded numbers.
365 * Removed -s option, just fall back to SPIC if ACPI and APM are not
368 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Fri, 5 Apr 2002 12:53:18 -0500
372 * Added support for querying for battery status via the sonypi driver, for
373 sony laptops that do not have apm support. This is a stopgap until linux
374 gets full ACPI support.
376 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Thu, 4 Apr 2002 10:25:31 -0500
380 * Converted to use libapm, instead of the hacked up old version of it
381 used before. This probably breaks wmbattery on the BSD's, for now. The
382 correct fix for the BSD's will be to get support for their apm
383 implementations into libapm. To that end, I have filed a bug with all the
385 * The -f option also had to be removed. If libapm does not work right on
386 systems that needed that flag it's probably a bug in the library.

393 * Typo, Closes: #125485

401 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Sun, 9 Dec 2001 22:44:17 -0500
405 * Used two more grey's in the transition between shadow and highlight
406 in the dial. Looks a bit better.
408 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Wed, 7 Nov 2001 22:35:37 -0500

414 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Thu, 24 May 2001 15:04:23 -0400
418 * Patch from Edward Betts <edward@debian.org> to make the icon redraw
419 immediatly when it gets an expose event. The patch also lowers the CPU
420 time used as the icon is not needlessly redrawn every second. Thanks
421 Edward! Closes: #97779
422 * Battery blink fixup. (I seem to have inexplicably lost the changelog
423 and version involving making the battery blink red on and off when the
424 status is critical -- I did this recently because the eye tends to

431 * Another patch from Kevin, which allows removal of the
432 config.{sub,guess} files and does smarter detection.
434 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Mon, 5 Mar 2001 19:49:36 -0800
438 * Fixed icon search path.

454 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Mon, 21 Aug 2000 11:52:21 -0700
458 * Use /usr/share/icons/wmbattery, not /usr/X11R6/share. Sheesh.

497 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Sun, 8 Aug 1999 20:04:10 -0700

502 owned by root, not me.
