| cpu and bios report/support. |
| |
| 1.9 -- |
| * add support for mac80211 based wireless power saving |
| * improve bluetooth inactivity detection (David Woodhouse) |
| * report USB activity (needs 2.6.24-rc kernel) |

| |
| 1.8 -- |

| * Show blue color if the cpu is 25% or more busy to indicate |
| that idle wakeups no longer is the nr 1 power causer |
| (Santiago Gala) |

| automated collection of data |
| |
| 1.7 -- Jun 17th, 2007 |
| * add suggestion to disable TV out |

| * Show P-states (frequencies) |
| |
| 1.6 -- Jun 8th, 2007 |
| * Add suggestion to rf_kill unused wireless interfaces |

| 1.5 -- May 27th, 2007 |
| * fix resize-corrupts-screen-content bug |
| * add interrupts to the wakeups/second data in the emulated |
| (non-mobile) case |
| * calculate a long term power usage from battery charge deltas; |
| this should help people whos battery doesn't report discharge |
| rates, and also will provide a less noisy datapoint |
| * Add option to use `kill` on some known power hogs if they are |
| actually waking up a lot: |
| - beagle (even latest wakes up 10 times/second when not indexing) |
| - hal (suggest to stop cdrom polling) |
| - gnome-power-manager |
| These only show if these actually wake up the cpu 'a lot'; so if |
| these get fixed then the suggestion will not display. |
| |

| * use ncurses (Sebastian Kuzminsky) |
| * rotate through the suggestions randomly, so that all of them |
| will show over time |
| * Fix the CONFIG_SND_AC97_POWER_SAVE check to only report on ac97 hw |
| * report "hidden but suprious" timer ticks (due to missing hpet or |
| lack of NO_HZ) |
| * check for HPET being present; if not suggest user to toggle in |
| BIOS or apply the patch |
| * Some suggestions have become "active", you can press a key to |
| tune it right away. |
| * Add active suggestion to enable AC97 powersave mode at runtime |
| * Add active suggestion to enable wireless powersave mode at runtime |

| the cpu is 100% busy as reported by Friedrich |
| * Cosmetic code cleanups (Lindent) as suggested by David Brownell |
| * Get rid of popen() and the static sized events array |
| (Keith Packard) |
| * Add some more tips for kernel config options based on various |
| reports/feedback |
| * Improve "you are not root so can't get timerstats" message to say |
| that you need to be root rather than that you need to change your |
| kernel config |
| * Make a better effort at locating the kernel .config file |
| * Don't show "please turn CONFIG_FOO off" if the kernel you have |
| doesn't even support CONFIG_FOO (yet) |
| * Show absolute per-second wakeup counts too (multiple requestors) |
| * Add capability to suggest disabling daemons and the like |
