10 * Add config.h.in to `make distclean`. Its absence created a problem for the
11 Debian package. During the build, dh_auto_clean results in a call to
12 autoheader, which creates config.h.in. If this isn't then removed, we get
13 a dpkg-source error. Obtained from [1].

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

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

71 * Switch from a Debian native package to a non-native package.
72 - Remove debian directory.
73 - Rename debian/changelog to ChangeLog, strip Debian-specific information.
74 - Move copyright information from debian/changelog to header in wmbattery.c.
75 * Escape hypen in manpage.
76 * Move assignment of old_status until after cur_info is initialized to avoid
77 uninitialized variable warning.
78 * Use consistent formatting in source and delete trailing whitespaces.
79 * Add -x option to run a command when battery is critical. Based on a patch
80 by Cristoph Fritz. See https://bugs.debian.org/543674.
81 * Add -v option to display version number.
82 * Restore BSD support. Code that was ripped out of wmbattery for version
83 1.22, which introduced the dependency on libapm but dropped support for the
84 BSDs, has been restored.

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

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

157 if the hal is restarted.

163 * Don't spew error messages if optional hal properties are not available.
164 * Only check to see if a battery is charging if hal reports there is AC
165 power. This is perhaps not 100% correct in systems with multiple batteries
166 that may cross-charge when off AC, but it's faster and it avoids bugs in

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

185 * Correct issue with the statically allocated string returned by
186 get_acpi_value that caused it to only look at last full capacity and never
187 really at design capacity.

193 * Guard some divisions against division by zero. I've never seen that
194 happen and can't reproduce it, but see #454766.

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

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

232 * Minor bug fix to acpi code, don't skip over dotfiles.

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

287 * Some indentation fixes.
289 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Wed, 24 Nov 2004 16:20:39 -0500
293 * Use the proper new-style acpi string when looking for ac adaptor status.
295 * Remove the hack I added for my old picturebook, as it causes bad results
296 on systems that label a fully charged battery's charging rate as
297 unknown and state as charging.
298 * Base battery charge calculations for ACPI on design capacity, instead of
299 last full capacity. Some batteries may exceed previous last full on
300 their next charging, and this also lets you see when you have a damaged
301 battery that is not fully charging.
302 * If acpi battery charging state is unknown, but the rate is 0,
303 then the battery is charged and on AC power, and the unknown state can
304 be ignored. Analysis and patch by "TeXitoi".

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

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

366 on 2 battery systems. Closes: #152356
368 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Wed, 10 Jul 2002 16:10:40 -0400
372 * Deal with acpi putting nothing but "Present: no" in the info file for the
373 second battery of a thinkpad. This was with kernel 2.4.19-pre10.
375 * Moved DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS out of makeinfo.
376 * Updated to new autoconf.
378 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Tue, 11 Jun 2002 22:51:45 -0400

392 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Fri, 31 May 2002 21:35:06 -0400
396 * Added symbolic apm info constants to "apm.h", in case they are
397 not in the system <apm.h>.
398 * Put $(LIBS) last at link time.
400 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Tue, 23 Apr 2002 11:49:16 -0400
404 * Deal with -1 time left from apm (no estimate).
405 * Never dim colon, fixes display bug.
407 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Mon, 22 Apr 2002 12:30:35 -0400
411 * (acpi) don't display the rather wacky "- :0" on an almost full battery
413 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Tue, 9 Apr 2002 23:19:35 -0400
417 * Work around stupid ACPI output format bug. Critical battery detection

424 * Better error reporting.
426 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Sun, 7 Apr 2002 22:57:17 -0400
430 * Improved acpi interface (also used for procmeter3 module now).
431 * Fixed segfault on non-ACPI systems.
433 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Sun, 7 Apr 2002 17:48:41 -0400

444 * Added ACPI support, including battery change detection, and battery
445 charging time countdown timer.
446 * Added -w parameter to configure delay time.
447 * Added -c and -l parameters to allow user control of battery low/critical
449 * Use constant defs from apm.h instead of nasty hardcoded numbers.
452 * Removed -s option, just fall back to SPIC if ACPI and APM are not
455 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Fri, 5 Apr 2002 12:53:18 -0500
459 * Added support for querying for battery status via the sonypi driver, for
460 sony laptops that do not have apm support. This is a stopgap until linux
461 gets full ACPI support.
463 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Thu, 4 Apr 2002 10:25:31 -0500
467 * Converted to use libapm, instead of the hacked up old version of it
468 used before. This probably breaks wmbattery on the BSD's, for now. The
469 correct fix for the BSD's will be to get support for their apm
470 implementations into libapm. To that end, I have filed a bug with all the
472 * The -f option also had to be removed. If libapm does not work right on
473 systems that needed that flag it's probably a bug in the library.

492 * Used two more grey's in the transition between shadow and highlight
493 in the dial. Looks a bit better.

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