16 • Improve error message when the cpu temperature cannot be read
17 • Remove cpu_temperature from the default config

30 2011-12-27 i3status 2.4
32 • Support wifi, cpu usage, volume, disk usage on FreeBSD
33 • Don’t exit, but display an error when CPU temperature/usage/load is not
35 • manpage: load format is %1min %5min %15min
36 • Don’t use a default order, so that config files can use += everywhere
37 • Interpret configfiles case-insensitive
38 • battery: implement path option for batteries with non-standard paths
40 2011-07-21 i3status 2.3
42 • config search order is now ~/.i3status.conf, ~/.config/i3status/config,
43 /etc/i3status/config, then /etc/xdg/i3status/config
44 • battery: use POWER_NOW if CURRENT_NOW is not available (linux >= 2.6.36)
45 • use kill(0, pid) instead of /proc to check if a process is alive
46 • cache DNS query results also if there is no IPv6 connectivity
47 • implement the 'path' option for cpu_temperature
48 • add cpu_usage module
49 • automatically detect the output format unless configured specifically
50 • Bugfix: get time at the beginning of the loop
51 • Bugfix: respect locale settings (for %c in date format)
52 • debian: use [linux-any] in dependencies (Closes: #634491)
54 2010-09-22 i3status 2.2
56 • Implement a discordian date module (like ddate(1))
57 • Implement ALSA volume support
58 • disk: implement %avail (different from %free with regard to the reserved
59 space of your filesystem)
60 • wireless: display quality relative to the wireless maximum quality.
61 • wireless: display connection speed (bitrate)
62 • wireless: custom colors for link quality
63 • Bugfix: Treat an interface as 'down' when it cannot be found in
65 • Bugfix: Correctly check for interface up/down status
67 2010-04-10 i3status 2.1
69 • battery: implement %emptytime, the time of day when your battery is empty
70 • ipv6: cache DNS query lookups (for finding the K root server)
71 • disk: also round when printing TB
72 • wireless: display no IP instead of (null)
73 • instead of a relative sleep(1), sleep until the full second
74 • colorize ethernet output
75 • use cap_net_admin instead of running i3status as root for getting
77 • ipv6: don't require a title for config option
78 • ipv6: provide format strings for ipv6 up and ipv6 down
80 2009-10-27 i3status 2.0
82 • add support for disk info (free/used/ins)
83 • add support for displaying the ESSID of the wireless interface
84 • add support for getting the public IPv6 address of the system
85 • all "modules" now support format strings
86 • switch to libconfuse for parsing the config file
