It is possible that, when running update-dockapps.pl, a filename may match a
revision, giving an error, e.g.,
fatal: ambiguous argument 'wmbattery': both revision and filename
Use '--' to separate paths from revisions, like this:
'git <command> [<revision>...] -- [<file>...]'
This patch fixes this problem by inserting "--" where needed.
Since wmbattery was previously a Debian native package, all the changes were
documented in debian/changelog. Since the debian directory has been removed in
the upstream source, this file is being renamed to ChangeLog in the root
directory.
Compile with CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS and append, rather than overwrite, CFLAGS.
This enables the Debian package to be built with hardening options. See
https://wiki.debian.org/Hardening.
When the download speed is too high, wmppp can't display it because it has
only 5 digit. The most significant digits are hidden !
This small patch display the speed in K when it is too high.

Users of ISDN dialup lines (such as me) cannot use wmppp as shipped,
because it rejects to use any device except those beginning with `ppp'.
The patch attached solves this.

This patch uses the -f option for rm in make clean so that no error occurs when
make clean is run while no object or binary files exist. (It also adds a
newline at the end of the Makefile thanks to emacs.)
Some dockapps earlier versions of dockapps, e.g. the recently added wmacpi-ng,
may have different names than the directories they appear in. This patch adds
the ability to handle this situation by keeping track of the directory for
getting git information and skipping these dockapps when creating the "+date"
versions.
The Free Software Foundation's address was updated in the wmacpi copyright
notice in commit 792a5d2 and the GNU General Public License version 2.0 text
was updated in commit 31c2845, but these were overwritten when later versions of
wmacpi were added to the repository.

2008 November 14 2.2rc4
Change the way that we sleep/wait for activity, to use select
rather than a fixed-length sleep, supplied by Julien Blache of
Debian:
Hi,
The attached patch for wmacpi makes it use select() instead of
sleeping. It also adjusts the timeout of the select() call
depending on the blink & scroll options.
If scrolling is not activated, there's no reason to wake up
10x/sec. If blinking is activated, waking up once per second is
enough. If blinking is not activated, then we can wake up just to
update the data and we're fine.
With scrolling and blinking disabled, this saves a number of
wakeups and helps battery life. Unfortunately there's another
source of wakeups that's probably due to libdockapp that still
makes 6 wakeups/seconds (in another thread it seems).
With this patch wmacpi makes a best effort to match the sample
rate set by the user, but that's hardly an issue I think.
I haven't released this patch yet in Debian, so if you like it and
want to roll out a release, feel free :) Otherwise I'll add it to
the package soon.
Thanks,
JB.

Some fixes for the sysfs interface support, supplied by
jblache@debian.org:
> Okay, I finally found time to make a new release including this
> patch - 2.2rc2. It's up on my website now.
I don't remember sending you the updated patch, as it turned out that
you can have different attributes in sysfs depending on what the
battery reports.
The current version is attached.
Thanks,
JB.

2007 July 14 2.2rc1
Major changes to command line handling and to the way we use
libdockapp, courtesy of Patrice Dumas. This should hopefully fix
several long-standing bugs with non-wmaker window managers (in
particular Debian bugs #280495 and 293546).
Updated to support newer kernels that no longer support
/proc/acpi/info - thanks to Samuel Ortiz.
Fixed a longstanding issue with redrawing - thanks to Vito
Caputo.
This version changes a number of command line options (little used
ones, but they're still incompatible changes) due to the
libdockapp work. In particular, -w becomes -x, -v becomes -V (and
takes an argument rather than being repeated), and -V becomes -v
(thanks to libdockapp grabbing -h, -v and -w for itself). Also,
long options are now supported for everything in wmacpi (but not
acpi, since it doesn't use libdockapp for command line parsing).

2007 January 10 2.2a1
Added a patch from Patrice Dumas to support newer versions of
libdockapp.
Updated email address in AUTHORS and manpages.

2005 Jan 5 2.1rc1
Typo fix in the manpage.
Ported to libdockapp-0.5.0 - all this needed was changing the
type of the dockapp width and height to unsigned short.

2004 September 28 2.0rc1
Added support for switching to capacity mode automatically, on
detecting dodgy reports from the battery.
Added support for capacity mode on charging, with automatic
enabling as per discharging.
Various cleanups.
Hopefully last release before the final 2.0.

2004 August 18 1.99r7
Implemented the libdockapp port - this seems to close Debian bug
#227819, but it hasn't received sufficient testing.
Implemented a capacity mode for calculating time remaining (as
opposed to the normal current rate mode) - this mode samples the
remaining capacity of the battery and notes the time at which it
was sampled, and uses a history of samples to estimate the rate of
drain on the battery. From there it calculates a value for time
remaining.
Also, various cleanups have gone in:
* a reworking of the scrolling code
* generic battery number support (rather than just
using two pixmaps, one for b1 and one for b2)
* stopped the battery glyph from blinking when running on AC

2004 July 19 1.99r6
Fix for Debian bug #250792 - the parser for the acpi files was
too stupid to deal with error conditions. I've now added some
basic checking to make it handle the error that caused the bug
report, but I'll need to add more later.
