==============
Version 2.15.0
==============

Released April 06, 2006

General

 - Drop support for obsolete versions of libnotify, DBUS and HAL.
 - Code quality improvements (Paolo Borelli)
 - More gtk-doc comments added to all the files.
 - Remove the scons-based build system for now.
 - Use g_option instead of popt (Jaap Haitsma)
 - Install new icons to /usr/share/icons/hicolor and do
gtk-update-icon-cache when we install. #336067
 - Add X-GNOME-Bugzilla keys for use with bug buddy (Vincent Fretin).
 - Add the missing --daemon option to the man page (Ow Mun Heng).
 - Updated Yelp help file with more useful information.

Power Manager

 - Don't do the critical action when the battery value is 0% as this
happens for a split second with some ACPI laptops on resume.
 - Deal sanely with HAL and DBUS restarting.
 - Enable all the experimental code, such as the info window and the
graphs. The graphs have had some serious Cairo lovin' and look pretty
slick now, and should display more accurate data that we were displaying
before. We also include a legend so that power events can be seen
graphically.
 - Use the button "battery" rather than "www" to show battery status.
lp:35633
 - Don't inhibit, but throttle when the lid is shut. #332576.
 - Update caches when we resume. For the matching HAL patch see:
http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=187396#c10
 - Add a brightness widget that matches the volume popup when we change
the brightness using the keyboard shortcuts.
 - Rewrite the screensaver integration so that g-s and g-p-m can be
restarted independently and started in any order. #332366
 - Fix the expose event handling (Crispin Flowerday)
 - Use g_slice rather than g_new for the small data-points.
 - Use /apps/gnome-power-manager/show_actions_in_menu rather than the
compile setting ACTIONS_MENU_ENABLED to disable the actions menu.
#335415
 - Add urgency states and the correct icons to libnotify windows.
 - Synchronize DPMS policy after a suspend or hibernate. #336081
 - Work around a HAL bug with CSR mice and keyboards so they display the
correct charge after a short delay.
 - Set resume time at startup to let actions settle. (Daniel
Silverstone)

Power Preferences

 - Layout improvements (Jaap Haitsma, William Jon McCann) #335991,
#336207
 - Move the time sliders so that they start at the g-s-p setting.
#336061
