787 * Disambiguated (is that a word?) $cpu docs
790 * Fallback to gettimeofday() when clock_gettime () not available (mac os).
793 * API change (timing in milliseconds) for dexter_timedsampler_new ().
796 * Add config.rpath (created by gettextize -copy) to distribution
798 * Clean up some warnings; remove ftp.[ch] from src/Makefile.am.

803 * Added head/tail rewrite patch (thanks Ryan Twitchell)
804 * Added diskio read/write sf.net patch 1542880 (thanks Blondak)
807 * Clear conky vars on disconnect/failure to open files.
810 * Updated to libmpdclient 0.12.0

814 - requires libdexter (http://sourceforge.net/projects/libdexter)
815 and the dxt-sysinfo plugin (svn only at the moment).
817 - dexter_client yes/no
818 - dexter_server yes/no
819 - dexter_config /path/to/libdexter/config (default: $HOME/.dexterrc)
820 - own_window_class <WM Class Name> (default: Conky)
821 - replaces wm_class_name
822 - own_window_title <Window Title> (default: <hostname> - conky)
823 * removed config items:
824 - wm_class_name (use own_window_class, same function)
826 --disable-network (default=yes) with auto-detection for libdexter.
827 - remove useless --enable-proc-uptime (PROC_UPTIME never referenced).
828 HAVE_SYSINFO and others determine if /proc/uptime is used.
829 - silently disable xft, double-buffer and xdamage if no x11.
830 - change enable/disable labels to reflect defaults accurately.
831 - simplified compile-based checks for sysinfo/getloadavg and by moving
832 them into AC_CHECK_FUNCS.
833 * allow decorated, own_window=yes windows to be given input focus by WM:
834 - do not pass button clicks through to desktop in this scenario as conky
835 immediately loses focus.
838 * Clarify LGPL license on timed_thread modules.
842 * Split battery variable into two:
843 battery, e.g. "charging 75%" and
844 battery_time, e.g. "3h 15m".

859 min_port_monitor_connections
861 max_port_monitor_connections
864 * Added $entropy_avail, $entropy_poolsize and $entropy_bar
865 for the crypto freaks. Idea suggested by Perttu Luukko
866 <nuteater@users.sourceforge.net> in feature request 1497050.
867 * Added max length specifier to audacious_title. Closes
868 feature request #1600631.
871 * Rearrange retry attempts in pop3 and imap code, removing sleep()
872 calls which cause the whole process to sleep, not just the thread.
875 * Added max_specials config item with default 512. This should
876 close bug #1574523 for real this time. Thanks to John Harrigan
