LCDproc Files

Notes:
======
These are the release notes for LCDproc v0.5.5, the new stable
version of LCDproc.

This release includes some bug fixes as well as several updated drivers.
See below for a brief list or the file ChangeLog for a more comprehensive
one.

The CFontz633 driver has been deprecated and will output a warning about
this on start-up. It will be removed after this release. Please use the
CFontzPacket driver instead (setting Model=633 in LCDd.conf).

The t6963 driver's 'Size' option in LCDd.conf now has to be configured in
pixels instead of characters.


Fingerprint:
============
SHA1 (lcdproc-0.5.5.tar.gz) = 17547391b2bf9b61fd9f7dac74782e1cebdf34be

Known bugs:
===========
 - If vBars are used together with ICON_BLOCK_FILLED on the same screen
   and that icon is implemented as a custom char, it sometimes is replaced
   with a non full block from the vBar.
 - On Solaris the mtc_s16209x driver fails to compile. Configure LCDproc
   to exclude this driver.
 - The server config file LCDd.conf is not installed if 'make
   install-server' is used to install only the server without the clients.
 - On recent Linux distributions which use RPM style init scripts the script
   init-LCDd.rpm hangs because it incorrectly references a pid file that is
   not created. Workaround: Remove the line '# pidfile: /var/run/LCDd.pid'.
