JSON errors in the battery module • Colorize battery output if remaining time/percentage below threshold • Colorize volume in red if muted • Include a Perl and Python example wrapper script for

configuration paths in error message • manpage: add a "format" example for run_watch • manpage: add a section explaining why we don’t want RAM usage etc. • manpage: add "exit 1" to example shell script. • manpage: document %emptytime to the battery part • various patches for OpenBSD 2011-12-27 i3status 2.4 • Support wifi, cpu usage, volume, disk usage on FreeBSD • Don’t exit, but display an error when CPU temperature/usage/load is not available • manpage: load format is %1min %5min %15min • Don’t use a default order, so that config files can use += everywhere • Interpret configfiles case-insensitive • battery: implement path option for batteries with non-standard paths 2011-07-21 i3status 2.3 • config search order is now ~/.i3status.conf, ~/.config/i3status/config, /etc/i3status/config, then /etc/xdg/i3status/config • battery: use POWER_NOW if CURRENT_NOW is not available (linux >= 2.6.36) • use kill(0, pid) instead of /proc to check if a process is alive • cache DNS query results also if there is no IPv6 connectivity • implement the 'path' option for cpu_temperature • add cpu_usage module • automatically detect the output format unless configured specifically • Bugfix: get time at the beginning of the loop • Bugfix: respect locale settings (for %c in date format) • debian: use [linux-any] in dependencies (Closes: #634491) 2010-09-22 i3status
