bbacpi / News: Recent posts

I have trouble identifying why, but there seems to be a problem with Blackbox/Fluxbox theme + bbacpi theme file reading. It is characterized by a memory allocation issue when bbacpi starts. I am trying to find the bug, but for the moment I only found a way around.

If you have this problem, open Baseresource.cc, and add at line 68 the following :

sprintf(bbtool->config_filename,"/usr/local/share/bbtools/bbacpi.bb");... read more

So, here am I. Working on next version of bbacpi.
Short ChangeLog :
- Small support for APM (when no ACPI information available)
- Modify ACPI Core Information window
- Enhance signal handling messages
- Correct reading of "design capacity warning"
- Move by menu disabled
- Enhance reading for some special /proc/acpi (bug #1310094) .

I am still working to find out why some people got core dumps (bug #1347977). Need more feedback.... read more

This version does not bring any new features.
It only corrects a bug related to window manager identification (which resulted in a core dump for some fluxbox users).

This release correct issues for Fluxbox users.

This new version correct a few bugs. Most of the job was cleaning the code to prepare big changes for improvments.

The debian package does not install the config in the right place. This will be corrected soon.
So best advice for the moment: download the source version ...

This version corrects some minor bugs and add two new features: window with core ACPI informations, and ability to move window with left click.

A new version is available. It corrects a bug that crashes bbacpi when refreshing after a change of theme if the auto-configuration option is on.
The patch also add a new feature: window manager detection. This allows the auto-configuration to work in fluxbox aswell.
The Debian pack has also been rebuild from scratch (in the place of using rpm2deb)

packages for mandrake (rpm) and Debian (deb) have been put together. See the Files section for download
