Unsure of any others out there.

3.0 -Released: December 15, 1998.
|
|
A Major overhaul performed. Changes include;
|
|
|
|
+ Added buttons to place laptop into "Suspend" (button labeled `Z')
|
|
or "Standby" (button labeled `S') mode. Buttons are separated
|
|
by status LEDs to minimize accidentally clicking on the wrong
|
|
one. I used `Z' for suspend because its like the laptop is
|
|
catching some Zs (i.e. going to sleep).
|
|
|
|
+ Replaced the 3 rectangular red/yellow/green status indicators
|
|
with 3 small round LEDs and moved them to a viewport at the
|
|
bottom between the two buttons. This array of LEDs could in future
|
|
be moved to a single LED in the main viewport to make room for
|
|
other things at this location (perhaps more buttons if apm supports
|
|
more things like truning off LCD, etc).
|
|
|
|
+ Created user-definable LowLevel and CriticalLevel thresholds. Yellow LED
|
|
comes on when Battery Percentage hits the LowLevel threshold. Red comes on
|
|
when you reach CriticalLevel threshold.
|
|
|
|
+ Made red status LED blink for extra noticability. User can define blink rate.
|
|
A BlinkRate of 0 turns off blinking.
|
|
|
|
+ Moved all of the other indicators into a single viewport above the
|
|
buttons and status LEDs.
|
|
|
|
+ Changed the red-dark-green colorbar to a banded blue LED bar that is tipped
|
|
with a color indicating capacity level. The tip color goes through
|
|
green-yellow-orange-red. A series of single-pixel dots is always present
|
|
below the bar to indicate its range. This is needed now, because
|
|
the bar is free-floating in the viewport. The single-pixel dots can be
|
|
seen easily on an LCD - the type of monitor wmapm is likely to be used.
|
|
|
|
+ Changed the `CHARGING' indicator with a single red `C' indicator at the
|
|
upper left of the APP.
|
|
|
|
+ Changed percentage indicator so that it can display 100%. (Used to only go
|
|
up to 99% max).
|
|
|
|
+ Changed time indicator to have a +/- sign depending on whether you are
|
|
charging up or draining down. (+ means you have that much battery life
|
|
left before its discharged. - means you have that much time to wait until
|
|
the battery is fully charged.)
|
|
|
|
+ Fixed a problem with very large "TimeLeft" values. If the time is greater
|
|
than the maximum time displayable 99 hours and 59 minutes, a ---:-- is
|
|
listed instead. Since the time is based on measured charge/discharge rates,
|
|
when the battery is doing neither, the time is essentially infinite. On my
|
|
(M Henderson's) laptop, the time left indicated 32766 when this happened.
|
|
FreeBSD systems should also show a ---:-- indicator. Dont have FreeBSD though
|
|
so I couldnt test it....
|
|
|
|
+ Changed Makefile to suid the apm program. This is needed to allow users to
|
|
invoke the standby and suspend capabilities in apm.
|
|
|
|
+ Sped up the loop to catch button press and expose events. But the querying of
|
|
/proc/apm is still done about once a second...
|
|
|
|
+ Added alert feature. User can use command line option -A <T1 T2> to turn on alerts
|
|
via wall. T1 and T2 are the time in seconds between updates for Low and Critical
|
|
status. By default the alerts are turned off.
|
|
|
|
+ Various sundry code cleanups.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2.0 - Added FreeBSD support.
|
|
|
|
1.3 - Fixed an annoying little problem with the the meter
|
|
not properly lowering as the battery is depleted.
|
|
Also did some code cleanup, enhanced the Makefile which
|
|
now includes 'make install'.
|
|
Released 980826
|
|
|
|
1.2 - Fixed bug that showed 100% battery capacity
|
|
as 90% (I never noticed since my battery seems
|
|
to max out at 98%).
|
|
Thanx to Brice Ruth <bruth@ltic.com> for pointing out/helping fix the
|
|
100% bug (err...feature).
