Description Markus Dolze 2006-04-16 08:10:14 UTC
The LCDproc project released version 0.5.0 after nearly2 years. Changes include (from Changelog):

+ dynamic loading of driver modules
* New API in use
+ LCDd will use fill-in functions for drivers that don't support a certain
  function. Available for: vbar, hbar, bignum, heartbeat, icon, cursor.
* Server internal functions cleaned up, moved to other files etc.
* Menu system rewritten
+ Client-supplied menus are now supported
* Key support improved: now keys  are strings, not just single letters
+ Reloading of configuration and drivers by sending a SIGHUP.
  Probably needs improvement ;)
* HD44780 output register support on winamp wiring
* Reporting levels are now used more consistently
+ lcdexec client added
* Display update frequency is now exactly 8Hz.
  Key scan frequency increased to 32Hz.
* Priority scheme changed. Priority classes are now used, that indicate what
  kind of a screen we're dealing with. More useful for interactive clients.
+ better support for operating systems other than Linux: *BSD, Darwin
