2014-12-28README: new FreeBSD code by Rudi SiegelAdrian C. (anrxc)1
I don't know for a fact there are (many) more compatible widgets than in Richard's work. I have faith there are, no offense intended.

2013-12-22bat: expose information on battery wear and tearNormal Ra1
Modern batteries should expose information about their design capacity which we can compare to current capacity and deduce how much 'wear' the battery got and expose that as a negative value percentage. Feature sent in August took a while to convince the maintainer many modern batteries provide this information. Signed-off-by: Adrian C. (anrxc) <anrxc@sysphere.org>

2013-06-01README: explain vicious is a generic WM widget libraryAdrian C. (anrxc)1
Vicious can be used stand-alone, or to feed widgets in window managers beside awesome. So why not provide it to a few Ion, or WMII, or i3 or <foobar> users. Lua is the best thing since sliced bread.
2013-01-22README: usage examples are for awesome version 3.4Adrian C. (anrxc)1
2012-08-02README: prefer vicious in global spaceAdrian C. (anrxc)1
We want to expose suspend, activate and force functions to external shell scripts not just the Lua prompt.

2012-06-18README: update initialization instructionsAdrian C. (anrxc)1
With the Lua 5.2 port we change the way vicious is loaded as a module, so that it remains backwards compatible with Lua 5.1 users. Also added the author of the Lua 5.2 port to the contributors list.

2011-12-10README: update wtype argument explanationAdrian C. (anrxc)1
Many users miss the fact they can register their functions as widget types. Documentation for wtype being incomplete wasn't helping.

2011-03-29dio: provide stats for all devices, rewritten by JoergAdrian C. (anrxc)1
Old dio.lua was moved to contrib. New one is used like CPU widget is, request the device or parition in the format argument, {sda read_mb} as an example. New widget doesn't provide scheduler information, but I don't know anyone who used that. If you think this is wrong let me know.

2010-10-04date: turn time widget argument into an offsetAdrian C. (anrxc)1
The os.time() call should not be passed as an argument it self, because of a chance it will be stored internally and so we would always get the same time. Instead we can pass time offsets in seconds, i.e. to go 6 hours forward we can use the widget argument 21600, to go 6 hours back we use -21600 instead.
2010-10-03date: accept time as a widget argumentAdrian C. (anrxc)1
Format custom time for example to calculate time zone differences, New York time relative to me would be widget argument: os.time()-21600

2010-03-12README: added contrib and vicious-fbsd informationAdrian C. (anrxc)1
Contrib should be better known because of the extra widgets it contains. While the vicious-fbsd branch by Richard Kolkovich was already added to the vicious home page and needs more exposure.

2010-03-12mpd: rewritten and now uses curl not mpcAdrian C. (anrxc)1
Widget type uses curl now, like all other types accessing network resources (until, if ever, we switch to luasocket). Where previously only the currently playing song was returned now you can access these keys: {volume}, {state}, {Artist}, {Title}, {Album}, {Genre}. You can provide an optional table argument to change password, host or port.

2010-03-10gmail: switch to ~/.netrc for login storageAdrian C. (anrxc)1
Login information is now kept in the ~/.netrc file, which should be readable only by the owner. This should solve futher problems with unquoted characters addressed in the last commit. The format of the ~/.netrc file is as follows (also documented in the README): machine mail.google.com login user password pass
