+
+* Sunday 2 April 2006 Simon Edwards <simon@simonzone.com>
+- version 0.6.4
+- BUG: All of the tools no longer write out config files under ~/.kde when
+  running as root. This should stop the annoying creation of config files
+  that can't be overwritten by the normal user.
+- Userconfig is now by default not quite as tall. This should help stop
+  it from appearing too big in systemsettings.
+- Displayconfig updated to also recognise late model nVidia chipsets.
+- BUG: Displayconfig didn't support Clone mode for the proprietary nVidia
+  driver.
+- BUG: The tools now correctly specify which translation catalogue to use for
+  translations.

+  space.

+  the Xsession script during login via KDM/xdm, has now been fixed to not stop
+  the login in case of failure.
+- BUG: Displayconfig was getting confused by unknown graphics cards and
+  crashing. (Malone bug #32915)
+- BUG: Displayconfig still can't handling unicode in xorg.conf. (Malone bug
+  #34437).
+- BUG: Displayconfig is now more forgiving when xorg.conf contains characters
+  that are illegal with respect to the system character encoding. (Malone bug
+  #36590).

+  big endian architectures. (raphink)
+- BUG: Displayconfig did not correctly handle situations where the X RandR
+  extension is missing.
+- BUG: Displayconfig would fail when loading some xorg.conf files containing
+  multiple graphics card specifications. (Malone bug #37275, patch applied)

+- BUG: userconfig and unixauthdb would fail if /etc/passwd, /etc/groups or
+  /etc/shadow contained blank lines.
+- BUG: displayconfig now does a better job of detecting graphics PCI devices
+  and handling non-detected graphics cards. Instead of crashing, "generic
+  VESA" is used when the type of card can't be found. (Malone bug #32915)
+- The DPI that displayconfig-restore.py uses at login time can now be
+  controlled by adding a line to ~/.kde/share/config/displayconfigrc
+  in the [General] section. Add "dpi=xserver" to use the default DPI
+  from the X server, or "dpi=100" to use 100 DPI for example.
+- BUG: Widescreen modes were missing in displayconfig.
+- Displayconfig: Monitors can now be specified as being standard aspect ratio
+  or widescreen.
+- BUG: Using the xresprobe command in displayconfig would crash some people's
+  machines. The much more safer ddcprobe command is now used.
+  (Malone bug #33943)
+- BUG: A bug is displayconfig stopped monitor model detection. The xresprobe
+  command didn't actually return the eisa ID of the connected monitor.
+  ddcprobe does though (see above).
+- BUG: Displayconfig. Changes to the monitor model or image format are
+  shown immediately on the "Size & Orientation" tab, even if the screen is
+  currently being used.
+- BUG: When userconfig asks about whether the home directory should be created
+  when creating a new account, sometimes the wrong directory name was shown in
+  the dialog.
+- BUG: Powerbook screen mode "1280x854" add to displayconfig. (Malone bug
+  #34383).
+- BUG: Displayconfig would throw an exception if the current display didn't
+  support DPMS. (Malone bug #34316).
+- BUG: Most utilities would fail if they came across UTF-8 or unicode
+  characters. (Malone bug #34194).
+- BUG: Displayconfig wouldn't correctly detect the presence of installed
+  proprietary drivers. (OculusAquilae)
+- BUG: Displayconfig had trouble handling BusID rows in xorg.conf. This would
+  cause the xorg.conf to be incorrectly read. (Tonio)
+- Added some extra methods to ScanPCI.py to aid debugging.
+- BUG: Displayconfig would not save the user's display settings when running
+  in kcontrol or systemsettings. (Malone bug #35257)
+
+* Wednesday 1 March 2006 Simon Edwards <simon@simonzone.com>
+- version 0.6.2
+- BUG: Small bug in displayconfig that caused it to bug out around the 
+  newCustomMonitor() method.
+- BUG: userconfig had space character just before the she-bang which really
+  caused some trouble the for the shell.
+- BUG: Displayconfig: Selecting the "Plug n Play" monitor directly without
+  clicking on "Detect" meant that only a very small set of resolutions would
+  be written to xorg.conf.
+- BUG: The DPI calculations in displayconfig-restore.py where broken. This
+  resulted in the wrong DPI being used.
+- BUG: Displayconfig: The clone mode option is now correctly disabled for
+  Matrox cards (mga driver).
+- BUG: Displayconfig would bug out if the monitor model in the xorg.conf was
+  anything other than Plug n Play.
+- BUG: Displayconfig would bug out if the DPMS Standby setting was 0 and DPMS
+  enabled.
+- Displayconfig is now shown in kcontrol under settings/hardware instead of
+  settings/system.
+- BUG: Small bug in displayconfig that will causes displayconfig to bug out
+  when trying to detect the monitor and no EDID info is available.
+- BUG: Small cosmetic bug in displayconfig where the some tabs were missing
+  margins when shown in kcontrol/system settings.
+- BUG: displayconfig would bug out when detecting ATI dualhead cards.
+  (pci_device.text was None).
+
+* Monday 20 February 2006 Simon Edwards <simon@simonzone.com>
+- version 0.6.1
+- displayconfig-hwprobe.py now saves its scan info in 
+  /var/lib/guidance/guidance-gfxhardware-snapshot.
+- "Details..." button added to mountconfig in addition to the context menu for
+   opening the disk info dialog.
+- BUG: serviceconfig: When starting and stopping daemons, the scripts expect a
+  terminal that understands colours. The command runner dialog doesn't, and
+  you end up seeing garbage characters. TERM is now set to vt100 when running
+  commands.
+- BUG: displayconfig: Reset button didn't reset all of the parts/fields in the
+  GUI.
+- Detect dualhead Matrox cards.
+- displayconfig-restore.py now at login time also chooses and sets a 'sane'
+  DPI setting used by applications for fonts. More info is in the 
+  displayconfig-restore.py source file.
+- BUG: displayconfig-restore.py wasn't restoring the user's display resolution
+  at login.
+- Plug N Play monitors are handled much better and are automatically probed
+  when neccessary.

+  running.
