-New: KPowersave 0.7.3 
-=================================================
-
-Note: The last release is now 4 months ago, so the NEWS are longer than
-      normal. 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
- - call setPowerSave() always depending on AC state if a scheme get set. 
- - use float for internal calculation of battery values
- - When use DBUS_TYPE_BOOLEAN use as variable type dbus_bool_t to avoid 
-   possible trouble on big endian machines
-

-New: KPowersave 0.7.2 (development tree/unstable)
-=================================================
-
- 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

-	    nice -19 processes run
- - #223637: kpowersave crashes in first login
- - #225212: KPowersave crash on ThinkPad X60s
- - #221715: Functionality for configuring lid close event etc.

-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.
-
