- 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

-------------------------------------------------------------------

  * 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)

    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.

    or lack of NO_HZ)

    BIOS or apply the patch

    tune it right away.
