--- LCD4Linux News --- lcd4linux-0.98 - improved signal-handling: lcd4linux can be restarted by sending a SIGHUP - lcd4linux uses syslog for messages/warnings etc. - support for GPO's (general purpose outputs, e.g. to connect a LED) The MatroxOrbital Displays have one GPO, and you can connect up to eight LED's to the parallel port using two IC's (see README.HD44780.GPO) - new delay loop for parallel port displays: uses either gettimeofday() or rdtsc (time stamp counter on newer processors). This delay needs no longer a calibration! The 'Delay'-entry in lcd4linux.conf has gone. - new raster driver for PNG creation - new curses-based text driver - security: lcd4linux.conf must have the same user/group than the executable, and must not me accesible by group and other (i.e. mode 0600). This is necessary because lcd4linux.conf can contain usernames and passwords for POP and IMAP queries. - support for plugins: new token 'x1'..'x9' for externel programs - new token 'ic' (ISDN connected/offline, mainly for a LED connected to a GPO) - APM client: new tokens 'bp', 'bs', 'bd' (battery percentage, status and duration) - mail client: new tokens 'e1'..'e9' for counting emails in local mailboxes - new configure-options '--with-drivers=', so you can compile a minimal executable which contains only the drivers you need. - seti@home client: new tokens 'hc' (% completed) and 'ht' (cpu time needed) - simple web-server driver (see README.Webinterface) - uses new (kernel 2.4) ppdev system to access parallel port via ioctl() - mail suport for pop3 and imap4, token 'u1' ..'u9' show unseen mail (which is propably incorrect for normal mbox) - added another verbose level (-vvv) for debugging socket traffic - added nntp support for count of news/unread messages in subscribed NGs - implemented time series bar '$t' value='1'/>

2011-01-23timer.c: skip intermediate timer intervalsmzuther2-16/+46
"timer_inc()" now checks how many trigger intervals have passed since a given timer has been updated. This might be due to "negative clock skew" (think of summer time) or the fact that some processing took too long (i.e. fetching of a web site). These missed trigger intervals are then skipped and the user is notified so that he may adapt his timer settings. This handling is essential, otherwise unprocessed timers might stack up and would trigger continuously while at the same time becoming notoriously late and unreliable. git-svn-id: https://ssl.bulix.org/svn/lcd4linux/trunk@1141 3ae390bd-cb1e-0410-b409-cd5a39f66f1f
