GNOME Power Manager 0.2.0 released

Submitted by hughsie on Wed, 2005-08-31 15:20. GNOME System Tools

This new release brings lots of new features and updated translations.
The preferences program now supports LCD brightness, and works with gnome-screensaver to set the DPMS timeout for monitors.

The website has been updated with a new design with lots more content.

*WARNING* - this program depends on new DBUS and HAL libraries to install, due to the recent changes in HAL. See the new FAQ page for more details.

Working with HAL 0.5.4, lots of problems have been solved.
This includes the need for a external DBUS daemon - now we use HAL to launch scripts.
Many more batteries are supported, as well as support for most of the broken ACPI BIOSes.

This release has had little testing (and a *lot* has changed internally since 0.1.0), so expect a few bugs, and teething problems.
The wait between 0.1.0 and 0.2.0 has been required for the newest HAL to be released. Expect more frequent releases in the future.
