Hi,
there is a new version of wicd in [testing]. In the past there were
always problems in upgrading wicd, so I have decided to put it in
[testing] first. Please test it and give me some signoffs.
Big changelog:
1.7.0:
Changes for Packagers:
- Wicd now supports a -k option, which should be run by the
init script when the daemon is stopped to release the DHCP lease but
should not be run on a restart of the daemon.
- The ability has been added to split Wicd's components into
multiple directories. Use --gtk, --cli, --curses, and --daemon to
setup.py configure to specify the locations of the respective
components.
- The preferred way to run the GTK UI is now to use wicd-gtk,
not wicd-client. wicd-gtk is a new addition to 1.7 that will never
run wicd-curses. wicd-client will automatically decide to run
wicd-curses if there is no X session available.
Major Changes:
- Connection information is available by right clicking the
tray icon
- Can set the hostname per network for all DHCP clients
- urwid 0.9.9 is now supported
- Added wicd-cli, a command line interface for use in scripts
- Global scripts are now passed parameters specifying the
network
Minor Changes:
- Support for only displaying notifications using -o to
wicd-client
- Reconnecting now works when measuring signal strength in dBm
- ESSIDs made of numbers now work properly
- All valid wpa_supplicant drivers are now displayed
- Wired network is now displayed while scanning wireless
networks
- Added wicd-gtk, a command to always and only run the GTK UI
- Marked ioctl backend not supported
- Use dhcpcd-bin on Debian instead of dhcpcd script
