2 * Fix memory leak (Debian bug #816872).
3 Thanks to David Johnson <davijoh3@cisco.com> for the patch.
6 * Free memory allocated by strdup. This corrects a mistake in [1] noticed by

14 * Add config.h.in to `make distclean`. Its absence created a problem for the
15 Debian package. During the build, dh_auto_clean results in a call to
16 autoheader, which creates config.h.in. If this isn't then removed, we get
17 a dpkg-source error. Obtained from [1].

23 * Escape hyphen in manpage. Fixes hyphen-used-as-minus-sign Lintian warning
24 in the Debian package. Patch from [1].
25 * Change manpage section from deprecated 1x to 1.
26 * Makefile - use autoheader too instead, configure complains about:
27 config.status: error: cannot find input file: `config.h.in'
28 Patch by Christoph Fritz.
29 * upower - don't exit after suspend/hibernation wakup Immediately after
30 suspend/hibernation wakup cycle, up_client_get_devices() can fail:
31 libupower-glib-WARNING **: up_client_get_devices failed: Timeout was
33 Since we do not interpret the UPower signals, just don't exit wmbattery
34 after first up_client_get_devices() failure.
35 Patch by Christoph Fritz.
36 * Expand -g option to allow positions relative to right or bottom. Use '-'
37 instead of '+', e.g., `wmbattery -g -0+0` will place wmbattery in the upper
38 right hand corner of the screen.
39 Thanks to Christoph Fritz for the feature request.
40 * Improve help text for -i option.
41 * Add -n option to disable dial graphic.
42 Thanks to Christoph Fritz for the feature request.
43 * Fix typos. Ran `codespell -w`.
44 * Properly free malloced memory. Fixes memory leak found by cppcheck.
45 * Remove unnecessary brace. Fixes "Invalid number of character ({) when these
46 macros are defined" errors given by cppcheck.

53 * Avoid redefinition of apm_read/apm_exists in *BSD.
54 The two functions are defined if the BSD-specific apm headers are found and
55 if libapm is not found. Both of these conditions will be true on BSD
56 systems, so we use #elif instead of the separate #if statements.
57 * Use AC_CHECK_LIB instead of AC_CHECK_HEADERS to check for libapm.
58 If autoconf finds an apm.h other than the one belonging to libapm, we get
59 builds errors like the ones reported by Haroldo Gambini Santos in [1].

75 * Switch from a Debian native package to a non-native package.
76 - Remove debian directory.
77 - Rename debian/changelog to ChangeLog, strip Debian-specific information.
78 - Move copyright information from debian/changelog to header in wmbattery.c.
79 * Escape hypen in manpage.
80 * Move assignment of old_status until after cur_info is initialized to avoid
81 uninitialized variable warning.
82 * Use consistent formatting in source and delete trailing whitespaces.
83 * Add -x option to run a command when battery is critical. Based on a patch
84 by Cristoph Fritz. See https://bugs.debian.org/543674.
85 * Add -v option to display version number.
86 * Restore BSD support. Code that was ripped out of wmbattery for version
87 1.22, which introduced the dependency on libapm but dropped support for the
88 BSDs, has been restored.

111 * Stop building with flash-in-the-pan HAL. Instead update acpi
112 interface to use /sys/class/power_supply.
113 Note that this needs acpica_version 20011018.
115 (Patch developed by Andrew Shadura.)
116 * Also added support for upower, which is used by default,
117 to avoid chasing kernel sysfs changes.

131 * Add -s option which can be used to ignore fluctuations
132 in reported battery charge (as seen on the EeePC) when
133 using -e. Closes: #527870 (Joseph Huang)
135 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Sat, 09 May 2009 16:53:10 -0400
139 * Use debhelper v7; rules file minimisation.
140 * Depend on hal since /proc/acpi is gone from the default kernels now.

160 * Support reconnecting to hal if the connection is closed, as happens
161 if the hal is restarted.
163 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Wed, 20 Feb 2008 22:29:00 -0500
167 * Don't spew error messages if optional hal properties are not available.
168 * Only check to see if a battery is charging if hal reports there is AC
169 power. This is perhaps not 100% correct in systems with multiple batteries
170 that may cross-charge when off AC, but it's faster and it avoids bugs in

177 * Bit the bullet, stopped trying to track the kernel's ever changing
178 interfaces, and added support for querying battery information from hal.
179 Support for the old kernel interfaces (APM, ACPI, etc) is still present,
180 but to use new interfaces such 2.6.24's /sys/class/power_adapter, you'll
181 have to have dbus and hal.

189 * Correct issue with the statically allocated string returned by
190 get_acpi_value that caused it to only look at last full capacity and never
191 really at design capacity.
193 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Sat, 22 Dec 2007 22:26:38 -0500
197 * Guard some divisions against division by zero. I've never seen that
198 happen and can't reproduce it, but see #454766.

207 than the maximum capacity, rescan to figure out the new max capacity.

213 * My new battery has a design capacity of 7800 mAh and yet its
214 last full capacity was 9488, and its currently charged to 8540.
215 Deal with this wonderful miracle^W^Wcrap hardware by taking the max
216 of the design or last full capacities.

229 * Correct off-by-one in acpi.c
230 * Put url to new web page in README.
232 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Mon, 04 Jun 2007 16:44:03 -0400
236 * Minor bug fix to acpi code, don't skip over dotfiles.

238 yet again where the ACPI version number is stored. Closes: #423612

279 * Merge in changes from procmeter3's version of acpi.c, made by Andrew M.
280 Bishop, that avoid the ugly chdir to /proc/acpi and add a bit of error
281 checking. Now fully synced with procmeter3 3.4d.
283 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Sat, 30 Apr 2005 22:58:44 -0400
287 * Patch from Kris Verbeeck to add a -a option to play an au file

290 * Unicode dash fixes on man page.
291 * Some indentation fixes.
293 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Wed, 24 Nov 2004 16:20:39 -0500
297 * Use the proper new-style acpi string when looking for ac adaptor status.
299 * Remove the hack I added for my old picturebook, as it causes bad results
300 on systems that label a fully charged battery's charging rate as
301 unknown and state as charging.
302 * Base battery charge calculations for ACPI on design capacity, instead of
303 last full capacity. Some batteries may exceed previous last full on
304 their next charging, and this also lets you see when you have a damaged
305 battery that is not fully charging.
306 * If acpi battery charging state is unknown, but the rate is 0,
307 then the battery is charged and on AC power, and the unknown state can
308 be ignored. Analysis and patch by "TeXitoi".
310 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Mon, 17 Nov 2003 20:28:56 -0500

321 * Make acpi code put -1 in the time remaining field if the "present rate"
322 is 0. Closes: #204722
323 * Enable internal time estimate code in this case.
325 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Mon, 11 Aug 2003 17:21:17 -0400
329 * Another patch from Hugo Haas, this time it adds time-till-charged
330 estimates for systems that lack them. The estimates are on by default,
331 though they're only linear guesses and may not be accurate.
332 * Display dimmed time estimate field if there is no estimate available.
333 * -e switch renamed to -r and forces both estimates on.

339 * Patch from Hugo Haas <hugo@larve.net> to change when the icon is
340 refreshed for less latency.
341 * Patch from Hugo Haas to have wmbattery do its own time left estimates
342 if that info is not available from the machine.
343 * Add -r switch to force wmbattery to estimate the time left.
345 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Sun, 3 Aug 2003 00:00:09 -0400
349 * Set the cutoff point for old acpi to 20020214 (was 20020208).
352 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Sun, 20 Jul 2003 13:44:59 +0200
356 * Added support for ACPI version 20030109 (2.5 kernel), and generally
357 support for changing ACPI strings across versions. Closes: #177249
359 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Thu, 6 Feb 2003 14:50:21 -0500

370 on 2 battery systems. Closes: #152356
372 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Wed, 10 Jul 2002 16:10:40 -0400
376 * Deal with acpi putting nothing but "Present: no" in the info file for the
377 second battery of a thinkpad. This was with kernel 2.4.19-pre10.
379 * Moved DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS out of makeinfo.
380 * Updated to new autoconf.
382 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Tue, 11 Jun 2002 22:51:45 -0400
386 * Moved makefile stuff out of makeinfo, so it is just definitions.

396 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Fri, 31 May 2002 21:35:06 -0400
400 * Added symbolic apm info constants to "apm.h", in case they are
401 not in the system <apm.h>.
402 * Put $(LIBS) last at link time.
404 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Tue, 23 Apr 2002 11:49:16 -0400
408 * Deal with -1 time left from apm (no estimate).
409 * Never dim colon, fixes display bug.
411 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Mon, 22 Apr 2002 12:30:35 -0400
415 * (acpi) don't display the rather wacky "- :0" on an almost full battery
417 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Tue, 9 Apr 2002 23:19:35 -0400
421 * Work around stupid ACPI output format bug. Critical battery detection
424 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Mon, 8 Apr 2002 22:49:43 -0400
428 * Better error reporting.
430 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Sun, 7 Apr 2002 22:57:17 -0400
434 * Improved acpi interface (also used for procmeter3 module now).
435 * Fixed segfault on non-ACPI systems.
437 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Sun, 7 Apr 2002 17:48:41 -0400
441 * Corrected minus sign in bigfont to proper faux-lcd appearance. Also fixed

448 * Added ACPI support, including battery change detection, and battery
449 charging time countdown timer.
450 * Added -w parameter to configure delay time.
451 * Added -c and -l parameters to allow user control of battery low/critical
453 * Use constant defs from apm.h instead of nasty hardcoded numbers.
456 * Removed -s option, just fall back to SPIC if ACPI and APM are not
459 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Fri, 5 Apr 2002 12:53:18 -0500
463 * Added support for querying for battery status via the sonypi driver, for
464 sony laptops that do not have apm support. This is a stopgap until linux
465 gets full ACPI support.
467 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Thu, 4 Apr 2002 10:25:31 -0500
471 * Converted to use libapm, instead of the hacked up old version of it
472 used before. This probably breaks wmbattery on the BSD's, for now. The
473 correct fix for the BSD's will be to get support for their apm
474 implementations into libapm. To that end, I have filed a bug with all the
476 * The -f option also had to be removed. If libapm does not work right on
477 systems that needed that flag it's probably a bug in the library.

496 * Used two more grey's in the transition between shadow and highlight
497 in the dial. Looks a bit better.

509 * Patch from Edward Betts <edward@debian.org> to make the icon redraw
510 immediately when it gets an expose event. The patch also lowers the CPU
511 time used as the icon is not needlessly redrawn every second. Thanks
512 Edward! Closes: #97779
