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.
