Mon May  6 04:18:30 UTC 2024 - Michael Hamilton <michael@actrix.gen.nz>

- Version 2.0.3
  * Reduce the number of writes to VDU NVRAM by sliders, spinners, and ambient brightness adjustments.
    * Slider and spin-box controls now only update the VDU when adjustments become slow or stop (when 
      the control value remains constant for 0.5 seconds).
    * Spin-Boxes now select the entire text on focus in (enables easier overtyping and decreases VDU updates).
    * Ambient lighting initiated changes in brightness of up to 20% are applied without any transitional 
      steps (plus the existing code ignores updates of less than 10%). 
    * Set the default ambient-light brightness adjustment-interval to 5 minutes.
  * React to DPMS awake signal from ddcutil-service by re-assessing ambient brightness.
  * Simplified locking and conformed to a locking hierarchy/protocol to avoid potential deadlocks.

Sat Apr 13 02:01:37 UTC 2024 - Michael Hamilton <michael@actrix.gen.nz>

- Version 2.0.2
  * Added a *refresh* annotation suffix for use with VCP-codes which cause multiple changes.
  * Make manual adjustment of the ambient Light Level more accurate and responsive.
  * Updates are sent to the VDU as sliders are dragged (rather than only on release).
  * Fix exception on monitors that return invalid/unexpected combo-box VCP values.
  * Fix exception on monitors with blank VCP value descriptions.
  * When refresh is pressed, only auto adjust ambient brightness if auto-brightness is enabled.
  * Don't automatically refresh on error, eliminate popup dialog loops.
  * Eliminate deadlocks when exceptions occur.
  * Cleanup the initialisation of the ddcutil-service connection.
  * Add more caveats and limitations to the documentation.
  * Fix manual ambient light slider when light meter is uninitialized.
  * Promote Simple-Non-Continuous values whose metadata exceeds one-byte to two-byte Complex-NC.

  * Improve/fix the handling of displays/laptop-displays that may be detected but lack proper DDC.
