GNOME Power Manager is a session daemon that makes it easy to manage the power on your laptop or desktop system.
This is the first release of the experimental 2-15 branch so expect the odd bug or two. You can see from below how much new stuff has gone into this release. 2.14.1 will be released on April 10th and will contain only bugfixes. As per usual, all 2-15 releases can be found here: http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/gnome-power-manager/2.15/ Screenshots of all the newest cool stuff can be found here: http://www.hughsie.com/applications/Coppermine/thumbnails.php?album=9 ============== Version 2.15.0 ============== Released April 06, 2006 General - Drop support for obsolete versions of libnotify, DBUS and HAL. - Code quality improvements (Paolo Borelli) - More gtk-doc comments added to all the files. - Remove the scons-based build system for now. - Use g_option instead of popt (Jaap Haitsma) - Install new icons to /usr/share/icons/hicolor and do gtk-update-icon-cache when we install. #336067 - Add X-GNOME-Bugzilla keys for use with bug buddy (Vincent Fretin). - Add the missing --daemon option to the man page (Ow Mun Heng). - Updated Yelp help file with more useful information. Power Manager - Don't do the critical action when the battery value is 0% as this happens for a split second with some ACPI laptops on resume. - Deal sanely with HAL and DBUS restarting. - Enable all the experimental code, such as the info window and the graphs. The graphs have had some serious Cairo lovin' and look pretty slick now, and should display more accurate data that we were displaying before. We also include a legend so that power events can be seen graphically. - Use the button "battery" rather than "www" to show battery status. lp:35633 - Don't inhibit, but throttle when the lid is shut. #332576. - Update caches when we resume. For the matching HAL patch see: http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=187396#c10 - Add a brightness widget that matches the volume popup when we change the brightness using the keyboard shortcuts. - Rewrite the screensaver integration so that g-s and g-p-m can be restarted independently and started in any order. #332366 - Fix the expose event handling (Crispin Flowerday) - Use g_slice rather than g_new for the small data-points. - Use /apps/gnome-power-manager/show_actions_in_menu rather than the compile setting ACTIONS_MENU_ENABLED to disable the actions menu. #335415 - Add urgency states and the correct icons to libnotify windows. - Synchronize DPMS policy after a suspend or hibernate. #336081 - Work around a HAL bug with CSR mice and keyboards so they display the correct charge after a short delay. - Set resume time at startup to let actions settle. (Daniel Silverstone) Power Preferences - Layout improvements (Jaap Haitsma, William Jon McCann) #335991, #336207 - Move the time sliders so that they start at the g-s-p setting. #336061 - Add a Critical UPS action into the UI. #337116 Translators - Gabor Kelemen (Hungarian) - Žygimantas Beručka (Lithuanian) - Francisco Javier F.
