[sstepd-devel] sstepd 0.1.7 has been released.

[Takahiro Y. <tak...@mo...>]

Hello,

sstepd 0.1.7 is out of door.
This release is to be alpha (not pre.)

Well, cpufreqd appears to be equipped with CPU monitoring since 1.1-rc1.
But sstepd has had a big step forward, too:

  Configuration file support has been added.

The parser / operation code is not heavily tested, though.
It will probably break if you feed something strange.
So please beware.

Other release highlight is:

  - The cputime load model now takes moving average.
     (interval option in the config file)

  - Following load models have been added:
    'loadavg_1', 'loadavg_5', 'loadavg_15' (measures load average)
  
  - Following power mode have been added:
    'const' (constant freq/rate),
    'linear' (linear scaler),
    'binary' (binary stepper),
    'powersave' ('powersave' governor),
    'performance' ('performance' governor).

  - Broken long option support has been fixed.
    --help and --version, has been restored.

Anyways, now we have configuration file support.
Now we need is a comprehensive documentation, and a handful of useful modules.

So please take a look of the new sstepd, code up (or just suggest) something cool, and contribute!
Let's make it more useful.

Enjoy,
