11-09-2004 - Version 1.4 - Adrian Robert, Dino Ghilardi, Giacomo Galilei
* Added:
Makefile.Longrun src/longrun.h src/lungrun_linux.c, src/longrun_freebsd.c
Updated:
src/main.h src/cpu.c src/init.c src/event.c
Implemented support for Transmeta CPUs with Longrun capability. On these
systems you set a range of frequencies (actually "performance levels") and
the system will automatically adjust within the range based on CPU load
(like the auto-freq function but hundreds of times per second). The
support works as follows:
- The arrows shift the maximum performance level up and down by one unit.
The minimum always stays at 0 (which is equivalent to, e.g., 300 MHz on a
1 GHz CPU).
- If "auto-freq" is turned on, the range is set to (0, max), otherwise it
is set to (max, max).
- Theoretically code could be added to adjust the shift size based on
right-clicks on the arrows, but with only 5 levels typical on a CPU, this
isn't a high priority.
- On startup, the setting is set to 0,current, current,current depending on
auto-freq state, where min or max is used in place of current if min or
max setting is requested. Note that this and subsequent adjustments may
not interact well with other processes or daemons adjusting longrun state,
such as an acpid script.
* src/main.c
fixed bug whereby don't-blink setting in argsConfig.h was being ignored.
* src/main.c src/main.h src/event.c src/battery.c
added cpuUpdate and batteryUpdate options/defaults so update rates can be
configured.
* src/pixmap.c
is now possible to choose among 3 type of skin
11-05-2004 - Version 1.3 - Giacomo Galilei
* src/event.c
added a char in the 32th lines and fixed the paradisiac startup
error: now if battery percentage is at 100% (and no more at 10% !!)
when wmlaptop starts, ac_adapter is plugged in and paradisiac option
is enabled, cpu enter in the paradisiac mode
* src/cpu.c
cpuSetParadisiac has been improved to allow wmlaptop set the
paradisiac mode even when wmlaptop starts and we already be at 100%
battery percentage
* src/init.c src/init.h
added a function scalingGovernorHelper() which will be called when
wmlaptop uses the /sys/..'s way to set the cpu freq. Then it will
read from scaling_governor to check that the userspace governor is
running in the kernel. If not, it will try to make kernel run with
it
* src/event.c
sleeping time has been increased a little bit, to follow an user
suggestion, but I didn't increased it too much, becouse I don't
want to lose the accuracy in the cpu load showing.
* src/battery.c
I really haven't never test the APM support. I believe I've found
a bug while I was updating files. Now 'setNewBatteryState' is called
whenever APM_Update is called (just lisk ACPI_Update)
* src/main.c src/main.h
a new argument has been added: "-t". With this arg comes a new
function of wmlaptop: now it can show you battery and cpu information
even when in console: no X-connection is required.
Calling wmlaptop with -t option will make wmlaptop show you info
and exit
* Makefile
the useless call to 'gtk-config' has been removed
* .info
improved info help file
08-03-2004 - Version 1.2 - Daniel Winkler, Giacomo Galilei
* src/main.c src/main.h src/argsConfig.h
enabled a way to disable the 100% CPULOAD blinking at argsConfig.h
it can be done also by passing '--dontblink' in the command line
* src/draw.c
the "battery bar" can now be split, when 2 or more batteries are
present. I tried it with my 2 slots, but it _could_ work for 3
batteries, too, although I can hardly imagine how this could be
(maybe with an 3rd external battery .. ?)
* src/battery.c
bug solved at the remainig capacity percentage calculation:
before we added the battery's percentages and divided it through the
number. Unfortunately this only works if both batteries have the
same capacity. Fixed
* src/battery.c
in estimatedTimeClock() sometime happends that the difference
between the first and the last percentage relevation is 0 (reported
only in some laptop), and this make wmlaptop quit with a "floating
point exception" when it makes a division by this difference (which
is just 0). Cannot say "fixed" here, becouse this behaviour is
just "patched": wmlaptop wont perform the division and the
estimated remaining time will be set to 0.
25-01-2004 - Version 1.1 - Giacomo Galilei
* src/battery.c:
fixed a bug which display a dummy error in the free() call.
* src/event.c src/init.c
now wmlaptop ask to Xserver the ButtonRelease event to handle
the "right mouse button release": at this event is attached
the screen saver start
* src/cpu.c
added new function called setCpuParadisiac(): when the battery
state is at 100% and the AC_Adapter is plugged in, wmlaptop thinks
that there is no reason to keep the battery use low: wmlaptop will
set the cpu to the maximum frequency. This behaviour can be set by
user passing the arg --paradisiac=on|off
* src/battery.c
changes to function ACPI_maxCapacity(): now is possible to use
"last full capacity" tag instead of "design capacity" to read the
maximum capacity of the battery (very usefull for old batteries).
To use this tag, the user have to pass --lfc=N, where N is the
number of battery. For this feature there have been added three more
function: ACPI_lfcArgs_add() ACPI_lfcArgs_get() ACPI_lfcArgs_free()
* src/event.c src/battery.c
substantial changes to the way wmlaptop updates the battery state.
now every update is done each two seconds, and estimatedTimeClock()
now estimates the remaining time to the full recharging too
* src/autoscript.c
added this new file which comes with a lot of new feature: is now
possibile to call shutdown when the battery is at very low (by
checkAutoShutdown(), and args like --auto-shutdown and
--shutdown-delay) and to play speaker as alarm some time before (by
checkAutoAlarm() and args like --auto-alarm --alarm-type and
--alarm-repeat). The alarm function comes with 4 different funny
jingle :). Moreover when the alarm is playing the dockapp will flash
"LOW BATTERY". To do this, wmlaptop fork() in two processes: the
child will play the speaker and the father will display "LOW BATTERY"
until the child is alive (by startFlashingLowBattery() and
stopFlashingLowBattery() ). Is also possible to listen a demo of the
jingles by passing -p at the command line: wmlaptop will play the
speaker and then will exit
* src/battery.c
the "no present battery state" has been improved: now you can start
peacefuly wmlaptop even without any battery plugged in. Wmlaptop will
remember that the battery is not present and will try to read
information from the file each 2 seconds.
08-01-2004 - Version 1.01 - Giacomo Galilei
* src/battery.c:
not each directory in /proc/acpi/battery/ have to be considered
as a laptop-battery's informations' directory; now battery.c knows
it, and if it finds errors reading the capacity of a battery,
wmlaptop won't exit, but it will continue to work skipping that data.
* src/main.c:
added free_and_exit() which contain some free functions for
every mallocated memory. Every time the program ends, this
function will be called before (every 'exit( code );' has
been changed in 'free_and_exit( code );'
* src/battery.c:
the mallocation and freeing of memory for the battery-vector of
powerState is now handled by mallocBatteryVector() and
freeBatteryVector() functions.
* src/main.c src/main.h src/argsConfig.h
added the argument '-q' '--quiet' to not display simple messages
or warnings. (the errors remain displayed)
