James,

Gapcmon release 8.3 adds a new page to the control panel: Graph Properties. This page allows the user to select the data series colors used in the monitor History Page graph.

The XY Line chart in GapcMon has been released as a sub-package of gapcmon; called 'glinegraph'. It contains a gtkwidget implementation and a library version. This is intended for developers who need to add a simple line graph to their application.

The timestamp, in the graphic history page, was presented out of order with the data, and it was possible to see TIME ZERO or 1970 dates when 1 past the actual number of data points.

This release fixes both problems.
James,

Rewritten linegraph and data tooltip routines. Improved the reliability of line graphs by replacing the original library with native GTK+ routines. This solves any blank screen issues, sometimes present on KDE and other non-Gnome platforms.

gapcmon has been rewritten to use the FreeDesktop.org Notification Area Icons, instead of the gnome panel applet. This change facilitates this UPS monitor program to compile and operate on a wider collection of platforms. It has been reported to compile of Linux, SUN, HP, AIX, and WinXP.

gapcmon is released today and offers to monitor and display UPS power systems being controlled by the sourceforge package APCUPSD.

Its developed using Gtk2/GLib2 on Fedora Core 4; but should work if recompiled on any Gtk2 supported platform.
