2 * Escape hyphen in manpage. Fixes hyphen-used-as-minus-sign Lintian warning
3 in the Debian package. Patch from [1].
4 * Change manpage section from deprecated 1x to 1.
5 * Makefile - use autoheader too instead, configure complains about:
6 config.status: error: cannot find input file: `config.h.in'
7 Patch by Christoph Fritz.
8 * upower - don't exit after suspend/hibernation wakup Immediately after
9 suspend/hibernation wakup cycle, up_client_get_devices() can fail:
10 libupower-glib-WARNING **: up_client_get_devices failed: Timeout was
12 Since we do not interpret the UPower signals, just don't exit wmbattery
13 after first up_client_get_devices() failure.
14 Patch by Christoph Fritz.
15 * Expand -g option to allow positions relative to right or bottom. Use '-'
16 instead of '+', e.g., `wmbattery -g -0+0` will place wmbattery in the upper
17 right hand corner of the screen.
18 Thanks to Christoph Fritz for the feature request.
19 * Improve help text for -i option.
20 * Add -n option to disable dial graphic.
21 Thanks to Christoph Fritz for the feature request.
22 * Fix typos. Ran `codespell -w`.
23 * Properly free malloced memory. Fixes memory leak found by cppcheck.
24 * Remove unnecessary brace. Fixes "Invalid number of character ({) when these
25 macros are defined" errors given by cppcheck.

32 * Avoid redefinition of apm_read/apm_exists in *BSD.
33 The two functions are defined if the BSD-specific apm headers are found and
34 if libapm is not found. Both of these conditions will be true on BSD
35 systems, so we use #elif instead of the separate #if statements.
36 * Use AC_CHECK_LIB instead of AC_CHECK_HEADERS to check for libapm.
37 If autoconf finds an apm.h other than the one belonging to libapm, we get
38 builds errors like the ones reported by Haroldo Gambini Santos in [1].

54 * Switch from a Debian native package to a non-native package.
55 - Remove debian directory.
56 - Rename debian/changelog to ChangeLog, strip Debian-specific information.
57 - Move copyright information from debian/changelog to header in wmbattery.c.
58 * Escape hypen in manpage.
59 * Move assignment of old_status until after cur_info is initialized to avoid
60 uninitialized variable warning.
61 * Use consistent formatting in source and delete trailing whitespaces.
62 * Add -x option to run a command when battery is critical. Based on a patch
63 by Cristoph Fritz. See https://bugs.debian.org/543674.
64 * Add -v option to display version number.
65 * Restore BSD support. Code that was ripped out of wmbattery for version
66 1.22, which introduced the dependency on libapm but dropped support for the
67 BSDs, has been restored.

73 * Better AC detection.
74 * Support times with upower and acpi (Closes: #740885).
75 * Use the latest upower API (Closes: #748935).
76 * Fix upower detection.

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

110 * Add -s option which can be used to ignore fluctuations
111 in reported battery charge (as seen on the EeePC) when
112 using -e. Closes: #527870 (Joseph Huang)

139 * Support reconnecting to hal if the connection is closed, as happens
140 if the hal is restarted.
142 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Wed, 20 Feb 2008 22:29:00 -0500
146 * Don't spew error messages if optional hal properties are not available.
147 * Only check to see if a battery is charging if hal reports there is AC
148 power. This is perhaps not 100% correct in systems with multiple batteries
149 that may cross-charge when off AC, but it's faster and it avoids bugs in

156 * Bit the bullet, stopped trying to track the kernel's ever changing
157 interfaces, and added support for querying battery information from hal.
158 Support for the old kernel interfaces (APM, ACPI, etc) is still present,
159 but to use new interfaces such 2.6.24's /sys/class/power_adapter, you'll
160 have to have dbus and hal.

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

186 than the maximum capacity, rescan to figure out the new max capacity.

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

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

269 * Unicode dash fixes on man page.
270 * Some indentation fixes.
272 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Wed, 24 Nov 2004 16:20:39 -0500
276 * Use the proper new-style acpi string when looking for ac adaptor status.
278 * Remove the hack I added for my old picturebook, as it causes bad results
279 on systems that label a fully charged battery's charging rate as
280 unknown and state as charging.
281 * Base battery charge calculations for ACPI on design capacity, instead of
282 last full capacity. Some batteries may exceed previous last full on
283 their next charging, and this also lets you see when you have a damaged
284 battery that is not fully charging.
285 * If acpi battery charging state is unknown, but the rate is 0,
286 then the battery is charged and on AC power, and the unknown state can
287 be ignored. Analysis and patch by "TeXitoi".

300 * Make acpi code put -1 in the time remaining field if the "present rate"
301 is 0. Closes: #204722
302 * Enable internal time estimate code in this case.

308 * Another patch from Hugo Haas, this time it adds time-till-charged
309 estimates for systems that lack them. The estimates are on by default,
310 though they're only linear guesses and may not be accurate.
311 * Display dimmed time estimate field if there is no estimate available.
312 * -e switch renamed to -r and forces both estimates on.

318 * Patch from Hugo Haas <hugo@larve.net> to change when the icon is
319 refreshed for less latency.
320 * Patch from Hugo Haas to have wmbattery do its own time left estimates
321 if that info is not available from the machine.
322 * Add -r switch to force wmbattery to estimate the time left.
324 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Sun, 3 Aug 2003 00:00:09 -0400
328 * Set the cutoff point for old acpi to 20020214 (was 20020208).
331 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Sun, 20 Jul 2003 13:44:59 +0200
335 * Added support for ACPI version 20030109 (2.5 kernel), and generally
336 support for changing ACPI strings across versions. Closes: #177249

348 * Corrected inverted test to see if ac power is online, that was only called
349 on 2 battery systems. Closes: #152356
351 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Wed, 10 Jul 2002 16:10:40 -0400
355 * Deal with acpi putting nothing but "Present: no" in the info file for the
356 second battery of a thinkpad. This was with kernel 2.4.19-pre10.
358 * Moved DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS out of makeinfo.
359 * Updated to new autoconf.
361 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Tue, 11 Jun 2002 22:51:45 -0400
365 * Moved makefile stuff out of makeinfo, so it is just definitions.

375 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Fri, 31 May 2002 21:35:06 -0400
379 * Added symbolic apm info constants to "apm.h", in case they are
380 not in the system <apm.h>.
381 * Put $(LIBS) last at link time.
383 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Tue, 23 Apr 2002 11:49:16 -0400
387 * Deal with -1 time left from apm (no estimate).
388 * Never dim colon, fixes display bug.
390 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Mon, 22 Apr 2002 12:30:35 -0400
394 * (acpi) don't display the rather wacky "- :0" on an almost full battery
396 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Tue, 9 Apr 2002 23:19:35 -0400
400 * Work around stupid ACPI output format bug. Critical battery detection
403 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Mon, 8 Apr 2002 22:49:43 -0400
407 * Better error reporting.
409 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Sun, 7 Apr 2002 22:57:17 -0400
413 * Improved acpi interface (also used for procmeter3 module now).
414 * Fixed segfault on non-ACPI systems.
416 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Sun, 7 Apr 2002 17:48:41 -0400
420 * Corrected minus sign in bigfont to proper faux-lcd appearance. Also fixed
423 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Fri, 5 Apr 2002 23:34:38 -0500
427 * Added ACPI support, including battery change detection, and battery
428 charging time countdown timer.
429 * Added -w parameter to configure delay time.
430 * Added -c and -l parameters to allow user control of battery low/critical
432 * Use constant defs from apm.h instead of nasty hardcoded numbers.
435 * Removed -s option, just fall back to SPIC if ACPI and APM are not
438 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Fri, 5 Apr 2002 12:53:18 -0500
442 * Added support for querying for battery status via the sonypi driver, for
443 sony laptops that do not have apm support. This is a stopgap until linux
444 gets full ACPI support.
446 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Thu, 4 Apr 2002 10:25:31 -0500
450 * Converted to use libapm, instead of the hacked up old version of it
451 used before. This probably breaks wmbattery on the BSD's, for now. The
452 correct fix for the BSD's will be to get support for their apm
453 implementations into libapm. To that end, I have filed a bug with all the
455 * The -f option also had to be removed. If libapm does not work right on
456 systems that needed that flag it's probably a bug in the library.

488 * Patch from Edward Betts <edward@debian.org> to make the icon redraw
489 immediately when it gets an expose event. The patch also lowers the CPU
490 time used as the icon is not needlessly redrawn every second. Thanks
491 Edward! Closes: #97779
