------------------------------------------------------------------- Tue Aug 24 17:14:01 UTC 2010 - trenn@novell.com - Fix minor build warning: powertop.x86_64: W: name-repeated-in-summary C PowerTOP - Update to version 1.13: Features: * PowerTOP now supports Runtime Device Power Management, both in terms of enabling it via a suggestion as well as collecting statistics for it * PowerTOP now has support for reporting which application keeps the disk from powersaving mode (worth +/- 0.5W) * PowerTOP now has support for reporting AHCI Link power management statistics (worth 0.5W - 1W) * PowerTOP now supports the Audio power saving statistics so you can see if some app keeps your audio out of powersave (0.5W - 1W) * PowerTOP reports the use of "Turbo Mode" on Intel processors that support this (Core i7 and such) Fixes: * We should have fixed all suggestions that previously didn't go away even though you hit the key to apply them * We don't turn on USB power management for USB input devices, they tend to break if you do * Be smarter about we report ethernet activity in the light of multiqueue networking * many translation updates * Recognize per cpu hpet in timer reporting * Various wifi power saving api changes/tweaks taken care of ------------------------------------------------------------------- Sun May 9 16:59:41 UTC 2010 - seife@opensuse.org - update to SVN rev 332: * fix wifi code for current kernels * show turbo mode explicitly * filter out percpu hpet timer wakeup events * ignore usb input devices, do not set/read suspend delay * add --pids command-line option * add HD audio power save suggestion * removed obsolete laptop_mode suggestion * updated manpage ------------------------------------------------------------------- Tue Feb 9 01:18:56 CET 2010 - ro@suse.de - fix segfault: increase max lines from 5000 to 8000 for /proc/config.gz and abort if reaching limit ------------------------------------------------------------------- Wed Mar 4 00:44:47 CET 2009 - ro@suse.de - Update to PowerTOP 1.11 - Changes: * Fix compilation with PIC * polling hint now refers to /dev/cdrom instead of /dev/scd0 * fix calculations for systems that vary in power draw proc info * Display mwait usage * fix EOF at input * add --version|-v option * spelling error in tips. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Mon Jun 16 10:55:10 CEST 2008 - thoenig@suse.de - Update to PowerTOP 1.10 - Changes: * USB suspend statistics * support for iwl4965 power saving * Powertop now reports which C-states are supported by CPU/BIOS * Updated translations: ja, pt_BR, hu, id, zh (thanks!) ------------------------------------------------------------------- Wed Nov 7 11:14:44 CET 2007 - thoenig@suse.de - Update to PowerTOP 1.9 - Changes: * add support for mac80211 based wireless power saving * improve bluetooth inactivity detection * report USB activity (needs 2.6.24-rc kernel) * support the newly reported interrupt events in 2.6.24-rc ------------------------------------------------------------------- Wed Oct 10 13:08:05 CEST 2007 - thoenig@suse.de - Update to PowerTOP 1.8 - Changes: * add suggestion to increase VM writeback timeout * add suggestion to enable INOTIFY in the kernel * fix socket fd leak, found by Nikerabbit on #powertop * Add support for deferrable timers (Scott Lamb) * Add active hint to enable USB autosuspend on Fedora 7 * 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) * merge the -d option from Bill Nottingham (Fedora) to allow automated collection of data ------------------------------------------------------------------- Mon Jun 18 11:04:56 CEST 2007 - thoenig@suse.de - Update to PowerTOP 1.7 - Changes: * add suggestion to disable TV out * add suggestion to disable Wake-On-Lan for unused ethernet * show P-states (frequencies) ------------------------------------------------------------------- Sun Jun 10 12:44:13 CEST 2007 - thoenig@suse.de - Update to PowerTOP 1.6 - Changes: * Add suggestion to rf_kill unused wireless interfaces * Propose killing "sealert"; this is a new thing in F7 that wakes up 10 times per second for no reason * avoid showing the laptop mode hint when on AC - Val Henson * suggest enabling noatime to save disk IO's * suggest enabling SATA AHCI Link powermanagement * suggest enabling the SMP Power Aware Scheduler ------------------------------------------------------------------- Mon May 28 13:02:15 CEST 2007 - thoenig@suse.de - Update to PowerTOP 1.5 - Changes: * 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Sat May 26 11:17:29 CEST 2007 - schwab@suse.de - Don't strip binaries. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Sat May 26 09:23:09 CEST 2007 - thoenig@suse.de - Update to PowerTOP 1.4 - Strip binary - Add man page and localisation for powertop - Changes: * use gettext to allow translation (with lots of thanks to the various translators, especially to Benjamin Pineau who showed me how to use gettext tools) * fix bluethooth-checks-cause-autload-of-bluetooth bug * 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;
