3 * Use PKG_CHECK_MODULES for X libraries and headers.
4 * Use PKG_CHECK_MODULES, rather than calling pkg-config explicitly.
5 * Use CPPFLAGS for defining preprocessor macros.
6 * Add $datarootdir to Makefile.in.
7 * Move Makefile to Makefile.in, inline the contents of makeinfo.in and
9 * Remove rules generating autoconf artefacts.
11 * Move labels to the beginning of the line.
12 * Fix format-specifier.
13 * Update mailing list links to new Google Groups.
14 * Fix typo in manpage.
17 * Fix memory leak (Debian bug #816872).
18 Thanks to David Johnson <davijoh3@cisco.com> for the patch.
21 * Free memory allocated by strdup. This corrects a mistake in [1] noticed by

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

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

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

90 * Switch from a Debian native package to a non-native package.
91 - Remove debian directory.
92 - Rename debian/changelog to ChangeLog, strip Debian-specific information.
93 - Move copyright information from debian/changelog to header in wmbattery.c.
94 * Escape hypen in manpage.
95 * Move assignment of old_status until after cur_info is initialized to avoid
96 uninitialized variable warning.
97 * Use consistent formatting in source and delete trailing whitespaces.
98 * Add -x option to run a command when battery is critical. Based on a patch
99 by Cristoph Fritz. See https://bugs.debian.org/543674.
100 * Add -v option to display version number.
101 * Restore BSD support. Code that was ripped out of wmbattery for version
102 1.22, which introduced the dependency on libapm but dropped support for the
103 BSDs, has been restored.

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

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

154 * Use debhelper v7; rules file minimisation.

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

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

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

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

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

312 * Use the proper new-style acpi string when looking for ac adaptor status.
314 * Remove the hack I added for my old picturebook, as it causes bad results
315 on systems that label a fully charged battery's charging rate as
316 unknown and state as charging.
317 * Base battery charge calculations for ACPI on design capacity, instead of
318 last full capacity. Some batteries may exceed previous last full on
319 their next charging, and this also lets you see when you have a damaged
320 battery that is not fully charging.
321 * If acpi battery charging state is unknown, but the rate is 0,
322 then the battery is charged and on AC power, and the unknown state can
323 be ignored. Analysis and patch by "TeXitoi".

336 * Make acpi code put -1 in the time remaining field if the "present rate"
337 is 0. Closes: #204722

344 * Another patch from Hugo Haas, this time it adds time-till-charged
345 estimates for systems that lack them. The estimates are on by default,
346 though they're only linear guesses and may not be accurate.
347 * Display dimmed time estimate field if there is no estimate available.

391 * Deal with acpi putting nothing but "Present: no" in the info file for the
392 second battery of a thinkpad. This was with kernel 2.4.19-pre10.
394 * Moved DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS out of makeinfo.
395 * Updated to new autoconf.

419 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Tue, 23 Apr 2002 11:49:16 -0400
423 * Deal with -1 time left from apm (no estimate).

426 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Mon, 22 Apr 2002 12:30:35 -0400
430 * (acpi) don't display the rather wacky "- :0" on an almost full battery

443 * Better error reporting.
445 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Sun, 7 Apr 2002 22:57:17 -0400
449 * Improved acpi interface (also used for procmeter3 module now).

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