For all changes read the Changelog. - -Major changes since the last version/release: - - added new dialog to show logfiles if a suspend/resume fail and allow - the user to save the log (need to get enabled per distro) - - added support to handle brightness key events if the machine not already - handle this in the hardware directly - - added new feature named autodimm to reduce the brightness of the display - if the user is inactive and dimm up if the user get active again - - new dialog shown up 30 seconds before autosuspend call the suspend to - warn the user and allow chancel the suspend - - added code to work with new PolicyKit/ConsoleKit/HAL combi to check if - the user is privileged (for HAL >= 0.5.10 and related PolicyKit versions) - - added code to check if the current desktop session is avtive and handle - if the session get inactive (via ConsoleKit) - - added code to release/aquire org.freedesktop.Policy.Power if the session - get inactive/active to allow powersaved or other active KPowersave - instances to handle powermanagement - - prepared KPowersave to work also with HAL >= 0.5.10 (handle renamed - policy names in HAL) - - use now kdebug functions instead of own macros, added --dbg-trace option - to allow trace function entry and leave points. - -Minor changes: - - added wodim to autosuspend blacklist - - changed logic for resume if a timeout happen - - change default timeout to fake keyevent for locked screen to 2.5 sec - - don't fake key event after locked screen and lidopen if config variable - timeToFakeKeyAfterLock < 0 - - added new config variable (callSetPowerSaveOnAC in [General] section) - to disable call SetPowerSave() on HAL. - - fix code to guess if a 6-hour-timeout occours while suspend/resume or - if there was really a error - - removed Portuguese version of the help, since only one paragraph was - translated - - fixed configure script to detect if we should use HAL to get information - about policies instead of PolicyKit - - force update detailed dialog on AC events to get always e.g. the - correct scheme info in the dialog - - reworked code for mouse wheel events to reuse code for brightness keys - - several HAL/D-Bus/PolicyKit/ConsoleKit related fixes/updates - - cleanup code, fixed compiler warnings, added new functions to removed - doubled code - -Bugfixes: - - fixed problems with usage of enum cpufreq_type: don't assign integer - values to a enum (lead to segfault since enum is a 8bit char object) - - fixed wrong unit for power consumption (removed 'h' from unit) - - only suspend on button events if we resumed to avoid double suspends - - several fixes to make Q_SIGNALS from HAL/DBus idependent from the QT - eventloop due to problems with the QT3 DBus bindings - - several patches from Mandriva (lmontel@mandriva.com) to fix problems - with translations, format messages, speedup build and memory leaks - - fixed detection if brightness is really supported by the system -

- This version is a major step to the next KPowersave stable version. - At first: you don't need to change the KPowersave config file manually - any longer - this version provide now all options for powermanagement - in KPowersave via the updated and extended configure dialog. - - You can find all changes since the last release in this file or in the - Changelog. Please test KPowersave and feel free to report bugs to the - powersave-devel mailinglist or for SUSE products via the Novell bugzilla. - - Because of the changes in the GUI the most translations are not - up-to-date. Feel free to checkout the source, update your translations - file and send it to us. - -Major changes since the last version: - - extended configure dialog to provide this functionality: - * schemes settings: - - add new and delete existing (no default) schemes - - define a CPU Frequency policy for each scheme - * general settings: - - define battery warning levels and actions if a level reached - as e.g. Suspend to disk, Shutdown or change the brightness - - configure actions for button events (Power/Lid/Suspend/Sleep) - - define the default AC and battery schemes - - show the power consumtion of the battery in the detailed info dialog - - umount external media before suspend (need a patch of the KDE media - manager) to avoid data loss and remount on resume - - reset the CPU Freq settings on resume to avoid different settings for - the CPU governor on multicore machines - - call now SetCPUFreqConsiderNice(), SetCPUFreqPerformance() on dynamic - CPU Freq policy (as poweruser setting only changeable via config file), - and also SetPowerSave() with true on battery and false otherwise. - - support also conservative governor as DYNAMIC fallback - - fixed brightness handling in the configure dialog if not activated - - removed accelerator tags from i18n() strings. KDE handle this by itself. - Improved config GUI to be better accessible via keyboard. - - code and code documentation cleanups and updates - -Fixed bugs (from bugzilla.novell.com if no other comment): - - #245081: KPowersave does not set (ondemand) governor on startup - - #244052: Close lid of a laptop and suspend to ram cause 100% CPU - - #229960: CPUFREQ_DYNAMIC_PERFORMANCE seems to be ignored during - boot and scheme change - - #230686: KPowersave need to be restarted to apply DPMS settings - - #230965: puzzling battery state info - - #231709: kpowersave-0.7.1-12: comparison with string literal - - #231184: KPowersave crashes due to uninitalized LibHalContext - - #229234: KPowersave does not fall back to userspace governor - - #215262: Suspend to disk with attached usb storage not working - - #223164: After suspend, second core has performance governor set - - #223517: Powersave: CPU scheme "dynamic" reduces speed if only - nice -19 processes run - - #223637: kpowersave crashes in first login - - #225212: KPowersave crash on ThinkPad X60s - - #221715: Functionality for configuring lid close event etc. - missing in KPowersave - - #223922: System not shuting down on pressing power button - -Tranlation updates: - - german: Danny Kukawka - - danish: Stefan Skotte - - turkish: S.Çağlar Onur - - chinese: Zhengpeng Hou - - - -KPowersave 0.7.1 (development tree/unstable) -================================================= - - I'm glad to announce the first new offical release from the KPowersave - development version 0.7.1. This is the first version of KPowersave without - dependency to the powersave daemon. From now KPowersave use directly the - HAL daemon to get Hardware information and set e.g. brightness or trigger - Suspend. - - Also if KPowersave depend no longer on powersave, I would recommend to use - the new/current powersave version furthermore. You can use the powersave - daemon if there is no client as e.g. KPowersave to handle system power- - management. If KPowersave (there is also a patch for g-p-m available) start - up the daemon stop automatically to handle powermanagement policy and - the KPowersave applet force (if allowed) the user specific policy. - - You can find all changes since the last stable release in this file or in - the Changelog. Please test KPowersave and feel free to report bugs to - the powersave-devel mailinglist or for SUSE products via the Novell bugzilla. - -Major changes since the last version: -- Initial port from powersave to HAL/D-Bus/PolicyKit: - - replaced most features from the last stable version base on powersave - with new code. (Only missing atm eyecandy stuff as suspend progress dialog) - - replaced code to get hardware information from powersave with get info - from the HAL daemon - - changed resume from suspend/standby detection and handling of the event - - KPowersave claim now org.freedesktop.Policy.Power interface from D-Bus - to stop powersave from handle powermanagement policy and to prevent - handle other clients to start powermanagement. - - Extended existing schemes to be complete handled in KPowersave instead - of the powersave daemon. Added new (scheme) settings for: - * battery warning levels - * actions for battery warning levels and for lidclose events (as e.g. - SHUTDOWN, SUSPEND2DISK, SUSPEND2RAM, CPUFREQ_POWERSAVE, CPUFREQ_DYNAMIC, - or BRIGHTNESS) - * AC and Battery default schemes - * CPU Frequency Policies per scheme - --> NOTE: you can change this settings currently only via the config file - and not via the GUI configure dialog. This is the next step, we - concentrated on get KPowersave running for this release. - - Fixed KDE screensaver and DPMS handling to reduce/avoid interfer with the - KDE user settings. There is a KDE patch available to check if KPowersave - handle DPMS settings already and call the KPowersave config dialog. - - - -KPowersave 0.6.2 (stable update) -================================ - -Changes/fixes since last stable release: -- KPowersave depends now on powersave >= 0.12.18 -- fixed bugs: - - sf.net #1483392/ SUSE #177792: set changes for autosuspend state via DCOP - back to the applet menu, added DCOP functions to set the current scheme, - the current CPUFreq policy and to open/close the detailed dialog - - sf.net #1483392/ SUSE #177788,180000: added workaround to fix two bugs in - the DPMS- and Screensaver extension of X, related to autosuspend and detect - user inactivity (DPMS timeouts are abstracted from current idle time, but - shouldn't / DPMS timeouts are currently additive but shouldn*'t). This fix - problems with autosuspend if the timeout is longer than the DPMS timeouts. - - SUSE #168619: changed errorhandling if HAL, DBUS or the powersave daemon - is not running or if the user has not the needed rights to access the - powersave daemon via DBUS.
