2009-11-11README: document new truncate and scroll usageAdrian C. (anrxc)1
2009-11-11entropy: widget rewritten, poolsize no longer an argumentAdrian C. (anrxc)1
2009-11-11uptime: merged with load widget typeAdrian C. (anrxc)1
Total uptime and seconds are no longer returned. Returns are now: days, hours, minutes, load avg 1, load avg 5 and load avg 15.
2009-11-11bat: widget rewritten for sysfsAdrian C. (anrxc)1
This also means that it replaces batsys, and we are left with only one, universal, battery widget.
2009-11-11thermal: widget rewritten for sysfsAdrian C. (anrxc)1
Default path is set to /sys/class/thermal but at least it's easier to switch to /sys/class/hwmon (i.e. coretemp) now without much code modification. Note; zone IDs are probably different than those in /proc/acpi/thermal_zone
2009-11-10batat: widget type removed, now available in the contrib branchAdrian C. (anrxc)1
This was one of the first widgets on top of Wicked, now that we have both procfs and sysfs covered there is no need to keep it in master.
2009-11-10batsys: import battery widget that uses sysfsAdrian C. (anrxc)1
Initial widget code was sent by Benedikt Sauer. After some cleanup it is ready to go into master. It uses data exposed trough /sys and it is used in the exact same way as the bat widget (and /proc). This widget will replace batat and acpitool, it will be moved to contrib and retired.
2009-10-22README: updated net descriptionAdrian C. (anrxc)1
2009-10-22README: more information in Power sectionAdrian C. (anrxc)1
2009-10-20Adapt to awful.widget.graph max_value of 1Adrian C. (anrxc)1
Vicious will now divide values by 100 to match the default graph max_value of 1. Graphs support changing this value, but progressbars don't. We shouldn't use 100 for one and 1 for the other.
2009-10-14README: removed obsolete widget namesAdrian C. (anrxc)1
2009-10-12README: added padding exampleAdrian C. (anrxc)1
2009-10-10README: document tables returned by widget typesAdrian C. (anrxc)1
2009-10-08README: caching documentation improvedAdrian C. (anrxc)1
2009-10-07README: fixed disk i/o warg documentationAdrian C. (anrxc)1
2009-10-02README: included 'Other uses' sectionAdrian C. (anrxc)1
Vicious modules can be resued for other objects, like awful tooltips or naughty notifications. We call a module directly and manipulate the result until we have some nice output to display. For example, a wifi widget could be a progressbar with the signal level, but on mouse enter a tooltip is created with ssid/mode/channel information.

2009-09-19Next release, tag 1.0.14v1.0.14Adrian C. (anrxc)1
2009-09-18README: mpd format function simplifiedAdrian C. (anrxc)1
2009-09-14Remote file systems in fs widget are optionalAdrian C. (anrxc)1
By default only local file systems are included now. In case a mounted NFS share dissapears from the network the widget would be left hanging there and has the potential to block everything else (including awesome it self). File system widget now takes an optional argument which, if true, will include remote file systems.
2009-09-13README: fixed CPU widget exampleAdrian C. (anrxc)1
2009-09-08Gmail widget includedAdrian C. (anrxc)1
Widget returns the count of new and subject of last e-mail in a Gmail inbox. Use ${count} and ${subject} in the format string to retrieve the values. Widget takes a table with login information as an argument. I don't like how gmail widgets handle sensitive data but I gave in seeing how popular they are. Better storing and handling of login information would be in order but this isn't Python and I'm out of ideas. For now use it on your own responsability, I would suggest to set login info directly in the widget and file as read-only by user.
2009-09-07CHANGES file switched to 'oneline' short formatAdrian C. (anrxc)1
Now that vicious git repo is served trough a public web interface there is no need for a full changelog. I considered removing it completely, but it will have to wait - before the web interface tarballed tags were requested much more than the repo was cloned. Maybe that will change now, in which case the file should be removed and stop wasting space.
2009-09-06Updated links in the READMEAdrian C. (anrxc)1
2009-08-27README updated in preparation for release 1.0.12.Adrian C. (anrxc)1
Vicious tags from 1.0.12 will not be compatibile with awesome versions prior to 3.4, tag 1.0.11 was the last one. Vicious was ported to the new timer signals infrastructure and there is no backward compatibility with hooks. In 1.0.12 even those C widgets that are deprecated in awesome 3.4 (to be removed in 3.5) will not be supported. Use awful.widget.progressbar and awful.widget.graph.

2009-08-05Cleaned up sample widgets in the READMEAdrian C. (anrxc)1
2009-08-05Padding removed, along with deprecated helper functions.Adrian C. (anrxc)1
If you have any use for it then continue using an older vicious tag, or keep maintaining it in your local vicious copy.
2009-08-03CPU frequency widget included.Adrian C. (anrxc)1
The cpufreq widget supplements the cpu widget. It returns the current CPU scaling frequency (in MHz and GHz), voltage (in mV and V) and governor information for a requested CPU. If supported by the processor and correct kernel modules are loaded.
2009-07-31Mbox mail count widget included.Adrian C. (anrxc)1
The, mboxc, widget supplements the mbox widget. The mbox widget returns the subject of the last e-mail in a mbox, while the mboxc widget returns the count of total, old and new messages. Dealing with potentially *HUGE* files is not easy, I tried to find some middle ground for now, comments in the file discuss it in detail. Having the LuaFileSystem lib would be nice, so we could do caching and avoid 90% of the reads, but I didn't rely on external libraries to this point so I'm not going to start now.
