Pbbuttonsd 0.8.0 is out

[Matthias G. <mat...@us...>]

Hi,

After four month of development I finished version 0.8.0.

This release adds support for Apples MacBooks an MacBook Pros to
pbbuttonsd. This includes support for LCD and keyboard backlight
control, ambient light sensor with automatic brightness adjustment and
basic ACPI support.

Furthermore the automatic brightness controller was replaced by a new
one. The new model results in a more precise brightness adjustment of
LCD backlight and keyboard illumination and is easier and more flexible
to configure.

This release uses a new configuration file which is called
pbbuttonsd.cnf and follows a standard format from freedesktop.org. The
old file is no longer read and must be moved manually to the new format
(which is not so difficult :-) ).

The developer documentation uses doxygen now. call configure with
--with-doxygen-docs and make will generate it.

A whole bunch of bug fixes complete this release. 

The package is ready for download at

 Have fun
